Dream symbol · L
Lost Child
Fear of losing innocence, purity, or failing in an endeavor.
Dream interpretation
A lost child is a warning dream about losing direction. It often appears when we are overwhelmed by responsibilities and forget our own dreams and joys. If you are frantically searching for the child, it is a sign that you want to regain your spontaneity and purity of perception. If you find the child, expect a happy turn in a situation that you considered hopeless. This plot often reflects anxiety related to parenthood in the real world, but more frequently, it serves as a metaphor for lost contact with your authentic self.
