Popular Dream Symbols

A building--whether it's unfamiliar or familiar but unusual looking--could be one of the many settings for being lost or searching for something that is missing in a dream. Consider how you feel when you're lost in real life. You may feel confused and desperate to find your way. You could even feel scared. Likewise, these are the range of helpless emotions a child's expresses in a dream about being lost. The lighting in this dreamscape could also be dark, even pitch black, signifying that's it's hard to see what to do. In addition, sick kids who spend a lot of time in hospitals, dream a lot about being lost and wandering a building, looking for the exit. What the child does in these dreams and whether she perseveres and is able to find what's lost or is able to get to a safe destination is also significant, as is whether or not she gives up, thereby losing hope.
