The lift is....recreation, freedom, play etc and the bags are school, studies, medicine. This dream was not especially charged, it was a fairly light braindump about my current situation of being a student and not taking any time to play. I am taking the summer to play---and listen deeply to my dreams. Hopefully I'll get messages from my subconscious when I have more time to process them. If certain symbols come up again, I'll return to old dreams and see what those can tell me. I'm going to see about taking a course at http://www.processwork.org/, too.
