Sack

Things you carry around with you or feel a need for, so may link with acquisitiveness on a mundane level. May suggest unemployment, or fear of it if the dream connects with work. But the sack sometimes refers to the womb, or feelings connected with the womb state – non-striving, peace, and a feeling of being part of things. Being in a sack might show you facing feelings about death.

The phrase ‘hit the sack’ refers to going to bed. The sack may hold things that you do not know about, only to be revealed if you explore or are shown – the future perhaps?

Americans use of sack can mean a strong paper or plastic bag for groceries – in the UK and US sack means a strong large bag made of hessian. (He turns around so we can see his butt. Two pounds of butter is in a plastic sack and stapled to his shorts.)

A paper sack suggests something similar – things you carry around that you feel are needed. Mostly this indicates sureness about being able to meet the various demands of daily life. The paper sack might also connect with emptiness and fullness – whether you have your needs or have got what you want.

 Example: I was to teach a class in cooking. I had a sack full of papers, food stuffs, etc. I went to the office to see if I could make some schedule changes at the last minute but no dice. Sherrie said the recipe sounded good. She’d like a taste.

Example: A needle was stuck in my left arm and my chest was being cut open – it didn’t hurt. There was a lot of activity. They said I had gone. I was trying desperately to let them know I was still there. Then I was in a bag and sliding off a table. The bag was tied above my head. Then from the confined darkness I was free. There was a brilliant light all around. I could still see the sack with a body still in it far behind me. I was incredibly happy and full of energy. Trish L.

Example: In the dream I entered a cave and I saw a dragon resting inside, it woke up, saw me and we stared at one another for a moment and then it moved and I saw a sack of diamonds and diamonds overflowing/ coming out from the cave wall, it looks like the dragon was guarding it.

Idioms: as dumb as a sack of hammers; sack out; potato sack; a sad sack; got the sack; give him the sack; an empty sack can’t stand upright; Let’s hit the sack. fart sack; made the sack

Useful questions and hints:

What type of sack was it and what was it used for?

Is this about the materials I carry around with me that I feel I have a need for?

Does this possibly indicate fear of unemployment (being homeless)?

Does it feel like a safe and peaceful place – the womb?

Am I thinking about or frightened of death?

Are you unconsciously carrying something alive in your sack?
