I don't know why, but I had a very weird dream a couple of nights ago that I can still recall.
Part of it involved me getting hopelessly lost and trying to find my way back to my parked car.
That got me thinking about times when I got lost either when walking, driving or on public transport.
Let us know your experiences, because the POTD is;
Getting lost.
I'm pleased to say I've never been lost - not physically ha ha. Speaking of dreams . . . .
I remembered a dream a couple of days ago that had to do with the shiny new wheel of a car. Here's some words from Dreamhawk for your dream.
Being lost: This links with feelings of confusion, lack of direction or conflict, of not understanding what is involved in the present situation you are in. The dream environment you are lost in will define what the confusion or conflict connects with. Sometimes this lost feeling arises because there are issues or changes in your life you have not acknowledged or do not want to acknowledge.
Car: Cars are such an enormously important and frequent part of modern life they represent all manner of things. But they particularly depict ability and opportunity. That is, ability to move around freely, and the opportunities this allows you. Through them you have the ability to get to work that might otherwise be out of reach; to enjoy leisure times; to meet and spend time with people; to carry things that would otherwise be impossible; to live a lifestyle that without the car would be out of the question. So a car allows choices, independence and freedom that would be missing without it.

Back in the early 70's, on a solo trip to Europe, I decided to be adventuresome one night in Venice and go off the main drag. All I kept doing is coming to dead ends at the water. And I couldn't speak a word of Italian. Finally I ran into a younger man who knew some English and steered me back to the main drag.
On a driving trip thru Greece, back in the 90's, I got lost a few times because the Greek road signs were totally foreign to me and now I know when they say: It's Greek to me!
Getting lost in dreams is frustrating. Getting lost in real life is exasperating. I rarely get lost, but I do miss my turn on the freeway once in a while. Especially when we are traveling in another state. You never know which side the off ramp is going to be... that's my story and I am sticking to it.
I never get lost - people always tell me where to go
Seriously though, GPS in cars in quite helpful (although NOT perfect).
Roads are constantly changing and if the GPS is not updated on a regular basis, it's easy to find that you're soon lost. We've got one of those cars that when we bought it, the GPS was already outdated but we didn't know that right away. Then when we were trying to get it updated, found out that we would need another
package for it and it would cost about $200.00. Ugh.
I've gotten lost many times (pre GPS days), but I never worried unless I wound up in a bad area. I always told my mom (who fears getting lost) that you're not gonna fall off the face of the earth.
I always know that if I can find a highway I can get home. Lucky for me, my aunt and my dad took me so many places involving highways when I was growing up, that I have no fear of them.
My husband tells me "You get lost going to the mailbox". It's true. I don't know what I did before GPS. I have a horrible sense of direction, and I have to take a route many times before I commit it to memory.
