Dreams about luggage- what do they mean? (Dream interpretation luggage, baggage)
Dreams about luggage.
Luggage is a very classic dream symbol. It is very often about the “mental baggage” we have with us from experiences throughout our lives – experiences that have marked us for better or for worse.
Heavy or light luggage.
We talk about it in the same way as we colloquially say “he (or she) carries a lot of baggage” – meaning, he has experienced some things that “weighs on him.” In other words, we are again talking about mental luggage.
Luggage in dreams in relation to personal development.
For example, you dream that you find it hard to get going on a trip, because you have an unrealistically huge amount of heavy luggage to take with you. If you dream this, then you need to ask yourself how your own mental baggage slows you in your personal development.
You can also dream that you are late for a ferry, train, etc. Because of that you can not collect or simply carry your entire luggage. The meaning is as often the same – your personal life story and the experiences you have had, prevents your personal development, and the dream is a hint that there is some “luggage” to begin to work with.
Conversely, you can dream that you leave your luggage somewhere before setting out on a journey. That might give you a hard time (it’s hard to let go off ones’ mental luggage, and we occasionally even find comfort and “security” in what we know / the luggage we know – no matter how harmful it is) or you can be clarified to leave your luggage.
This last interpretation is about how you are very clear about saying goodbye to what you had with you in perhaps many years, in order to go on in your life without this luggage. Dreams of fear of losing your passport (your identity paper!), may also play a role in the dreams of luggage. It is often the fear of losing your identity on the life journey you are on.
To hide something away.
You can also dream that you frantically try to pack something into a suitcase, which you subsequently want to store in a closed / locked room in a basement, etc. That can be an image about the fact that you are trying to put some of your (psychological) luggage away – which both can be an appropriate and inappropriate strategy. The important thing is that by the help of this dream, you are becoming aware of it.

When trying to understand your dreams it is important to know that your dreams are… your dreams. As such, you are the best person to figure out the true meaning of your dreams.
However, it is important to learn how to generally approach your dreams. Dream dictionaries like this one are only a supplement, and if you want to fully utilize the potential of your dreams, you should start at a different place.
My online course “Unlock your DREAMlife” gives you a great foundation for understanding (and recalling) your dreams.

NOTE: Dreams are 100% individual, and when you dream about luggage, it’s almost certainly about something else for you than it is for your friend, who also dreamt about luggage. Dream interpretation / dream analysis is sometimes a difficult art, and a particular interpretation of a dream is only correct if you feel “affected” by it. Therefore, it is not certain that the above mentioned interpretations are relevant to you.

Hi,
I had a dream of a big suitcase. It was a man in a dream who had it and I am female but I could feel it as it was me. When he opened it it was empty. From outside it looked like it was full and heavy.
I dream about room full of bags, mixture of luggage bag and hand carry bags but all of them are empty. I carry any of those. Wonder whats the meaning of it.
Recurring dream – leave it too late to pack suitcase then one large item is too big to pack. Flight time is always 1.30pm coming home from holiday in egypt
Dreamt some one was putting my luggage on top of a car he want to put me in the car but the car had an accident.I was not in the car.
Hi Mamie – thank you for your dream. Did you find any inspiration in the blog post? It is hard for me to have an idea of what this might be about, as dreams should always be related to your waking life. You might ask; how – in any possible way – might this dream be relevant for my waking life? Best – Michael
I had a dream last night of going some were . I did have a lot of lugguge in that dream. I was saying goodbye to my family.
Dreamt someone has stolen one of my suitcase I was traveling with and I search all over I couldn’t find it
my dreams tells me that i went to airport knowing that i did mot bring my luggage. but when i sat to waiting area and realized i still had little time before take off, i go back and run to my house and try to pack
some of my stuff, hoping i could still
carry with me my luggage.
I dreamt that i was sitting somewhere on the lagguges of people coz i dint have my bag there. Then someone came n told me tht by sitting on them i wil break d bags. I dint answer, i looked at him n continued sitting on them.
A certain lady came with food for her family n they were seated around me, then she started calling her children by names n gave them food plus her husband. After she finished serving, i left to giv them tym to eat, i went without looking backwards but in my spirit i saw her looking at each other wth d husband, they called me bt i ignored n moved on. Then i decided to go pick my phone so that i can communicate with someone. Then i woke up, what’s God trying to communicate?

My mom had repetitive dreams for a few weeks right before her sudden death where her mom (that was already dead in real life) came to pick her up with a bus and my mom had to go and get her full bags. I’ve often heard that going with a deceased loved one that comes to pick you up means your own death.
I have full luggage dreams very often, especially recently. For example last night I had a dream I was on a bus and all my friends were getting off 1 station before the destination. I started to go with them, but realized I had a ton of luggage, 2 large full bags and a bunch of smaller ones. I was trying to drag the to large bags from under the seat and just couldn’t get them. I was getting anxious because the driver and other passengers kept looking at me like “Come on!”. Perhaps it’s a sign I need to lighten up.
Dreaming of lot of luggage of dead people in my dreams?
I keep having dreams about finding people dead in a suitcase what does that mean
