Islamic Interpretation
Any sack or container for packing in a dream signifies journeys or general undertakings. It likewise symbolizes the human body. An empty sack foretells death. Seeing one sack inside another indicates beneficial knowledge gained in this worldly life. If the inner sack holds money, the knowledge is sound and true; if it contains only small coins, the person is still learning and must continue seeking understanding. A sack also stands for one’s private and hidden affairs. Cutting open a sack and scattering its contents reveals that intimate matters will become public and the cause of gossip. Money slipping through a hole in the sack or purse signifies the body losing the soul, thus pointing to death. Discovering termites or moths within the sack likewise signals approaching death. In summary, a sack in a dream reflects what a person embodies or may represent the heart itself. (Also see Bag, Pouch, Purse, Suitcase, Trunk)
