Burden
To carry a heavy burden in a dream is to feel the weight of care and injustice pressing on us, often laid there by others. The dream tends to touch the load we are made to bear, and to ask what we are carrying that is not ours by right, and whether the weight on our shoulders is one we might set down.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for burden, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
To dream that you carry a heavy burden, signifies that you will be tied down by oppressive weights of care and injustice, caused from favoritism shown your enemies by those in power. But to struggle free from it, you will climb to the topmost heights of success.
