Plastic Bags
To dream of a plastic bag represents feelings about the ability to conveniently "carry" forward choices or issues with you for the interim without thinking about them as important. Carrying choices or issues forward in your life in a non-serious manner that is temporary, unimportant, or easily discarded. Feeling that it's simple, convenient, and unimportant to deal with a choice or issue at a later time.
Negatively, a plastic bag may represent feelings about problems being easy to conveniently "carry" forward with you in a non-serious manner. A casual attitude about conveniently "carrying" forward choices or problems that may be dangerous or bother other people. Procrastinating on addressing issues that feel small but could grow worse over time if ignored. Unresolved issues that have accumulated because they seemed easy to postpone. Casually carrying a problem forward without talking to people about it or seeing the consequences of it. Feeling that it's simple, convenient, and unimportant to deal with a problem at a later time.
To dream of a discarded plastic bag represents feelings about no longer needing to conveniently carry forward certain choices or issues. You may feel that a temporary situation or responsibility has served its purpose and can now be forgotten or thrown away without consequence.
Example: A young man dreamed of having feces kept in plastic bags and then trying to get rid of them slowly. In waking life, he was casually "carrying around" problems that he had decided not to deal with previously until it was more convenient. In this case, the plastic bags may have reflected his awareness of how easily he could avoid dealing with uncomfortable issues until it was convenient.
Example 2: A man dreamed of seeing a plastic bag with pink running shoes in it. In waking life, he began to realize that the separation from his wife was real and that she was very likely having sex with someone else. In this case, the plastic bag may have reflected the dreamer's feelings about his wife finding the separation a convenient reason to prepare to have sex with another man while she waited for a divorce.
