What does a handbag mean in dreams?
1. The traditional interpretation

A dream about a handbag often symbolizes identity and privacy. But the interpretation can be more multifaceted than that.
It may represent the secrets, responsibilities, and power you carry in your personal life. If the handbag is full, it might suggest you're carrying too much emotional baggage. On the other hand, an empty handbag could signify feelings of emptiness or lack of resources. A dream about buying a handbag suggests you're in search of a new identity or role, or perhaps you're trying to gain more control in your life. Using a handbag in a dream can indicate you're accessing the tools or resources you need to manage your life effectively.
A handbag is a somewhat rich and colorful dream object to pin down. To know for sure, I'd want to really get to know the dreamer's background and current life scenario.
2. The psychoanalyst's interpretation

Dreaming of a handbag, in Freudian terms, may symbolize the ego, the conscious mind that mediates between the id's primal urges and the superego's moralistic constraints.
This can be a multi-faceted dream symbol though — It is a repository of our persona, the mask we present to the world. If you dream of buying a handbag, it could suggest a desire to modify this persona, a yearning for transformation. Using a handbag, on the other hand, might indicate an exploration of one's identity, a delving into the ego's contents to better understand oneself. The handbag's contents, whether abundant or sparse, may reflect your emotional state, hinting at either an overburdened psyche or a sense of emotional deprivation.
3. The spiritualist's interpretation

Dreaming of a handbag symbolizes your spiritual journey and the wisdom you carry within. It's a representation of your inner sanctuary, holding your spiritual tools and experiences. A full handbag may indicate a wealth of spiritual knowledge, while an empty one could suggest a spiritual void or a thirst for enlightenment. Dreaming of purchasing a handbag signifies your readiness to embark on a new spiritual journey or a desire to deepen your spiritual understanding. Using a handbag in your dream signifies accessing your spiritual resources or wisdom to navigate life's challenges. It's a call to delve deeper into your spiritual self and utilize the wisdom you've gathered on your journey.
