Jen, your dream about packing clothes into multiple bags in a pub setting, where they just appeared, seems to suggest a sense of preparation or organization in your subconscious. This act of trying to zip the bags may indicate your desire to secure or contain different aspects of your life, perhaps feelings, responsibilities, or even memories that you are metaphorically 'packing away'. The calm emotions associated with this dream and the absence of negative feelings point towards a sense of control or perhaps readiness for what's to come.
The setting of the pub, a place of social gathering, could imply that this preparation or organization you're undergoing has a public or social aspect to it. Maybe you're sorting through parts of your life that you present to others or contemplating how you interact socially. The fact that the bags appeared spontaneously might mean that these issues or responsibilities have come up unexpectedly or that you're suddenly aware of them.
Reflecting on your previous dreams, there seems to be a recurring theme of concern regarding relationships, particularly with your boyfriend, and personal responsibilities, as seen in dreams about your boyfriend's spending and your own work in scripting an advert. While those dreams also involved aspects of self-image and financial stability, this latest dream feels more centered on personal management and less emotionally charged.
Considering your recent moods of feeling depressed and worried, particularly about your son, this dream could be your mind's way of telling you that you're handling your concerns as best as you can, in a structured and composed manner. The lack of negative emotions in this dream, compared to some of your previous ones, might be a sign of a subconscious shift towards a more positive or at least a neutral mindset, despite the challenges you're facing in waking life.
In summary, Jen, this dream seems to be a reflection of your inner workings to organize and manage the different 'compartments' of your life, with a focus on personal boundaries and social interactions. It's a more neutral dream compared to some of your recent ones, which could be indicating a period of relative stability or peace within you.
