Luggage

Luggage often touches the cares we carry and the people we're encumbered by — distasteful burdens hauled from place to place. The dream may ask what weight you're lugging that you'd rather set down, and whether being so full of your own distresses is blinding you to the sorrows of others.

Miller 1901

What the old dream-books say

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for luggage, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.

Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
