Backpack
To dream of a backpack represents self-sufficiency, self-reliance, and keeping things to yourself until it's important. It shows that you are carrying your own emotional or practical tools necessary for navigating a current challenge. However, it can also signify the heavy burdens and secret stresses you refuse to share with others.
