A dream about packing a suitcase often hints at a need for change or a desire to escape from your current situation. That's the simplest answer.
It can also reflect feelings of preparation for a new phase or journey in life.
Alternatively, finding a suitcase in a dream can represent discovering aspects of yourself that you have forgotten or neglected. It may suggest that you are opening up to new experiences or ideas. The common themes among these dream variants indicate a transition or change, but the act of packing suggests active preparation, while finding a suitcase is more about self-discovery and exploration.
A suitcase is very deep dream image to to really give you a single answer for. To say for sure, I would have to get more information about the dreamer's past and current environment.

Dreaming of packing a suitcase may be indicative of the ego's attempt to compartmentalize or organize unresolved issues, a manifestation of the psyche's yearning for order amidst chaos.
Getting a bit more complex: It could also signify the unconscious preparation for a forthcoming psychological shift or transformation. Conversely, dreaming of finding a suitcase could be a symbolic representation of the id's repressed desires or forgotten aspects of the self, surfacing from the depths of the subconscious. It may also suggest an unexpected encounter with new perspectives or experiences. While both dreams denote a transition, packing a suitcase is more about the conscious act of readiness, whereas finding a suitcase leans towards serendipitous self-revelation and introspection.
3. The spiritualist's interpretation
