Luggage – There are many layers of symbolism in the dream sign of luggage. It symbolizes the necessities of life, and the things we need with us, without which we feel out of place or uncomfortable. Physical possessions often represent crutches we use to combat our own feeling of aloneness in the world, or our fears that other people will not accept us. Luggage also can symbolize negative things that have happened to us, and from which we have not yet healed and moved on. In ordinary conversation, we call this “baggage,” and the symbol is true in our dreams as well.
