ESSAY : What is the symbolic meaning of being lost in dreams?

Losing something may suggest that you or others feel lacking or inadequate in some way. E.g.

"I visited a friend yesterday. She has been having some bad luck. I think she is overwhelmed by it all" [Dream symbol - lost her shoes]

"I have been fired due to ill health. Since then I have not really found a new purpose and sense of self worth." [Dream symbol - me losing my purse]

"I had just split up with my partner who had been quite hurtful. I was feeling insecure and shut out and my self esteem had taken a blow" [Dream symbol - lost invitation]

"I need to have my laptop with me. I felt totally lost without it yesterday" [Dream symbol - lost a coin]

"I feel left out by my husband. I cannot get him to talk. There is obviously something wrong. If we cannot talk through problems then I cannot see the point of us being married. Thats the whole purpose of marriage to be able to share problems." [Dream symbol - losing my ring]

Losing something may suggest you feel something is missing in your life. E.g.

Losing something may suggest that suddenly you feel very different. Some part of your life has gone. E.g.
