Being lost is loss of direction: confusion, uncertainty about who you are or where you are going. It often comes during transitions.
When the dream feels light
Finding your way again speaks of renewed clarity and inner guidance.
When the dream feels dark
Being lost without help points to confusion, loneliness or fear of the unknown.
Ask yourself
What has made me lose my way?

The card of this dream
The Moon. The night road of illusions, dreams and hidden fears. The Moon shines between two towers over a path that winds into the distance, while a dog and a wolf howl and a crayfish climbs from the water. It is illusion, dreams, intuition and fear: not everything is what it seems; walk carefully by the light you have.
