Getting Lost Dream Meaning

Getting lost in a dream usually means you feel unsure, deep down, about the direction of your life. When you cannot make a decision, when doubts about your future goals keep piling up, or when you cannot work out where you really belong, sleep turns that into wandering lost on strange streets or in a maze. Two things reveal most of the meaning: where you get lost, and whether anyone is with you.

• Getting lost in a familiar city

  The familiar parts of your life, where everything used to feel easy, have suddenly started to feel uncomfortable.

• Being lost in a forest or an empty field

  This speaks of a deeper loneliness, as if no one would come to help you in a crisis.

• Wandering the corridors of a large building with no way out

  You still cannot find a way out of a particular situation in your life, perhaps a job or a relationship.

• Getting lost with someone

  The fear feels smaller, because your mind knows you are not carrying the problem alone.

• Being lost completely alone

  Especially if you suddenly find yourself cut off in a crowd, it means you are carrying the weight of a decision by yourself.

• Finding your way in the end

  Feeling lost is not always permanent. Often it is a necessary step before you find a new path.
