Common metaphor for feelings of doubt about one’s direction in waking life. Notice the location of the dream. If you (or someone else) are lost in a competitive environment, such as an office, business or school, uncertainty about your career path is indicated. Being lost in a travel context suggests a period of transition, and uncertainty about arriving successfully at an intended destination. Being lost in a romantic context (can’t find your partner) signals difficulties communicating. Common theme in the wake of separations, divorces, and death of a spouse.
