Dreaming of a Trunk

trunk, chest, suitcase · mixed

A trunk foretells journeys, happy or disappointing depending on whether it's packed neatly or in a mess.

What happens in the dream

  • You pack your trunk: a pleasant trip soon
  • Your trunk is too small for your wares: a promotion
  • You see trunks: journeys, and bad luck
  • An empty trunk: disappointment in love or marriage, or, in another reading, money coming
  • A full trunk: a need to economise
  • You can't unlock or lock your trunk: a missed opportunity or trip
  • The contents are scattered: quarrels and a hasty, disappointing trip

How you felt

  • Baggage: what you carry with you, literally and otherwise
  • A wish to leave: needing a change of scene

Ask yourself

  • What am I carrying that I could leave behind?
  • Am I ready to go?
