Handbag in a dream: meaning

What dream books say

A handbag is traditionally read as personal identity — what you carry, keep private and need close. Losing one stands for feeling scattered or unsure of yourself. Searching through a handbag is usually read as looking for a quality or resource you need right now. A heavy, overfilled bag is linked to carrying too many burdens, while a new handbag points to a change in self-image. Someone else carrying your bag stands for trust, or for leaning on others. It can help to ask what you are carrying that you could put down.
