Wellness
You might feel stuck in a relationship.
If youve ever dreamed about being lost, then you know it can be borderline nightmarish.
It doesnt necessarily have to mean anything more than that.
The emotions you felt during your dream can tell you a lot.
The feeling content is often the key towhat the dream is trying to tell you, Englander says.
you could also ask yourself questions like, Where else have I experienced the emotions from my dream?
to further link it to a real problem or experience in your waking life.
You Feel Lost In Life
Lets start with the most obvious meaning.
(Being lost is stressful, after all.)
To peel back the layers even more, consider where the dream happened.
Depending on the person, it could also suggest feelings of freedom.
The time of day can also be significant, Dragomir adds.
This could also be a metaphor for feeling lost and alone.
More often than not, this bang out of dream willrelate back to your career.
According to Dragomir, stressful dreams tend to stop once you understand the message theyre trying to send.
Repetitive dreamsare a sign that something in your life is not being addressed, she says.
You Crave Novelty
This punch in of dream doesnt always have to be scary.
This dream may communicate a desire for novelty, or an appreciation of a sense of freedom in life.
Of course, its important to remember that theres no single interpretation for every throw in of dream.
Jernigan suggests writing down your dreams and taking a closer look at the emotional content for hints.
Also, pay attention to your own interpretation of the dream, she adds.
Whatever it means to you is more meaningful than someone else’s interpretation.
You will feel a sense of rightness when your interpretation is accurate.
