An interpretation of bag dreams

An interpretation of bag dreams

A bag can symbolize what you figuratively carry with you: memories, responsibilities, burdens, guilt, ideas about yourself, personality and character traits. Think along the lines of things from the past you bring with you while going forward in life. Packing bags can symbolize preparing for something, getting ready. See: Baggage A torn bag can indicate worries or problems tearing at you. It can symbolize fear of no longer being able to carry a load, or it can warn about losing important aspects of your past. A torn money bag or purse can symbolize financial loss. An empty one can symbolize struggle, loss, an empty bank account or bankruptcy. An empty bag can symbolize a feeling of emptiness. It can symbolize expecting something but not getting it, such as a promotion or phone call, or empty promise. You put in the faith or effort but don’t get the reward. The stomach is a sort of bag, so an empty bag can symbolize hunger. Lungs, too, are comparable to bags. For example, a dream about bag full of liquid can symbolize heavy congestion. A full bag can symbolize a full stomach, acquisition of material possessions, or any sort of abundance. If something is “in the bag” it means it’s as good as done, such as when a sports team is ahead by so many points, the game is “in the bag,” and a dream shows it as putting a trophy into a bag. If you’re left holding the bag, it can symbolize an unwelcome responsibility. A bag can symbolize a scrotum, and a tear or other sort of damage to it can symbolize injury to that area of the body or what it represents.
