Knapsack
A knapsack — all you carry on your own back — often touches pleasure found away from familiar company, or, worn and dilapidated, poverty and hardship. The dream may ask what you're carrying as you set out alone, whether the load equips you for a satisfying solitary journey or weighs you toward want, and what you've packed for the road.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for knapsack, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
To see a knapsack while dreaming, denotes you will find your greatest pleasure away from the associations of friends. For a woman to see an old dilapidated one, means poverty and disagreeableness for her.
