Lost luggage

Lost suitcase, Missing luggage, Baggage claim

Standing at the baggage carousel while everyone else collects their bags is a frustrating dream, and a surprisingly common one. Your luggage holds what you need to feel like yourself in a new place. Losing it often reflects worry about facing a change without your usual supports. It may come before a big transition, or any situation where you feel underprepared. Getting your bags back suggests that what you rely on will catch up with you. If you shrugged and bought new things, you may be willing to reinvent yourself a little.
