Ten Thousand Dream Dictionary

by Pamela Ball
1- Luggage in a dream can be slightly different to baggage in that luggage will symbolise what we feel is necessary to have us go forward. It can be those habits and emotions which have helped us in the past, but which can now be reappraised before being ‘repackaged’.

2- When luggage appears as a symbol in our dreams we should perhaps look at whether it is ours or someone else’s.

If ours, it signifies those views, altitudes and behaviours which we have brought through from the past.

If it is someone else’s, then we may be looking at family or global concepts which no longer are useful to us.

3- Spiritually if we are to travel ‘light’ we must often find a way of unburdening ourselves. Luggage in a dream can help us to envisage this.

Complete Dictionary of Dreams

by Dr. Mıchael Lennox
Luggage is a container used to transport certain desired objects so that you can function in any location. As a symbol, any piece of luggage represents your ability to have access to various tools for living that you may need in any given situation. There is a strong cultural association with the “baggage” that you are carrying in your life as representing unhealed wounds from the past and the difficulties that you unconsciously bring to all of your current relationships. Use the sensations of the dream itself to determine whether your dream is relating to luggage as a tool for effective living or connecting to the work you may still need to do in the realm of intimacy.

The Big Dictionary of Dreams

by Martha Clarke
Our symbolic baggage is nothing but the material we consider essential to “travel” through life. For this reason, losing your luggage is evidence of the inability to perform what you intend, because of lack of resources, or knowledge, or skills.

If it is too heavy and you can hardly move it, the dream indicates that you need to make concessions and revise your values.

If you give your luggage to someone the dream can express your desire to get rid of certain responsibilities.

Sometimes you carry too many material possessions, desires, concerns, and needs. This weight is delaying your spiritual progress. The lighter this luggage the more pleasant your life journey will be.
