![]() Always clothes and I am constantly running out of time. In my dreams, I’m always wrapping up a trip and packing to go back home.but even in the dream idk where that really is. I’m always packing suitcases to leave that day, by train, ship, airport, car. ![]() I have this dream too, I’ve had it for as long as I can remember but more frequently the last month. Sometimes I don’t even remember till mid day that I had the dream the night before…īest of luck to you, may you get rid of what you don’t need, keep what is good, and useful to you and find whatever you are looking for…. I hope it isn’t too painful for you… for me, it’s annoying. I’m in a stable 21 year marriage and not much changing got me – though I’ve not been working for 4 years and I’d like to change that- but this dream is not new! Anyway I think for me it has something to do with my parents spitting when I was young… for what it’s worth, I enjoyed reading your version of the dream. I’ve read all the interpretations you have here and many others. I hate having this dream and I wish I could somehow get to the bottom of it and make it go away. There’s so much! But like you I don’t have the time, or enough suitcases or whatever. I’m always moving (somewhere – not sure to college, or a new house btw I’m 51) and it’s always that I’m leaving tomorrow- either on a plane, bus or in a car, but it’s always tomorrow and I’m always panicked. I’ve been dreaming this for about 20 years. Like almost once a week sometimes and then it trails of and only once a month or so until it comes back fiercely again. My brain is always talking to me in mysterious ways… It’s using a symbol from your waking life – the packing and unpacking – to represent something going on for you at a deep, inner and as yet unconscious level. I’ve never had a diagnosis of PTSD, but given my history of family trauma, my medical trauma at age 19 and my eating disorder, I’ve got my fair share of trauma behind me.īecause your dream theme is recurring, it could be that your unconscious is trying to get a message through but you haven’t really taken it on board yet. This is a typical PTSD (post traumatic stress disorder) dream and that the progress made in the dreams reflects the progress made in healing. So maybe I need to still drop a bit of baggage yet? Hmmm…maybe?! Otherwise, your unconscious may be organizing and letting go of emotional “baggage.” Some other interpretations say that dreaming about packing is simply a hint from your unconscious that you are involved in too many activities and may need to pack some of them up and put them away. If you are packing your stuff and storing it or packing to move, you may be concerned about significant changes that are going on in your life. This dream, as all dreams, could have several different meanings. ![]() ![]() Today I finally decided to google this, because I’m curious (and because I don’t have the luxury of asking my therapist again since she’s on mat leave). And yet the dreams happen about 3 times per month, easily. Yah, that was partly true, but now I feel pretty confident about where I have been and where I’m going. I suppose she thought I was having some reservations about that, hence the anxiety. Leaving one life (environment) behind and transitioning to a new path (environment). She and I had been doing some dream analysis about a year back and she’s really quite in tune with the symbolism behind dreams. The dream always ends in the panic of the realization that I’m not meeting the “deadline” and feel lost about how to resolve the angst of not being prepared.Ībout 6 months ago, I asked my therapist for her take on the dream. The point is that wherever I’m going, I won’t be able to take all the things I want to take with me. Often in one room of a house (a different one each time), or in an office (never the same one). Where do these insurmountable packing projects take place? So it seems, in every dream with this packing theme, that if I only had more time, boxes, or help, I would be able to get everything packed to go. The climax and the anxiety provoking part of the dream comes when I either:Ī) run out of time and cannot possibly finish packing all my things (there are far too many things to pack),ī) run out of boxes to pack my many belongings into,Ĭ) realize that I don’t have the help that I need to pack everything up in time. I am never packing the same things, nor am I in the same place when packing, and I am never usually packing to go to the same place. You know, like packing boxes, or packing a suitcase. So for the last year or year-and-a-half, I’ve had this dream about packing.
