Dreaming of a body bag means you are likely feeling helpless or disconnected from your life. You may feel as though you are observing your life from above. Alternatively, a body bag in your dream symbolizes sadness and grief being zipped and carried away, a symbol of you moving forward with your life. Finally, a body bag could also suggest as your subconscious preparing for death in some way if you’re terminally ill or of an elderly person.
