Dreams are often viewed as a subconscious exercise to try to figure out what is bothering your conscious self.
If you dream about being "lost," it could mean several different things. One source states:
To
dream that you are lost suggests that you have lost your direction in
life or that you have lost sight of your goals. You may be feeling
worried and insecure about the path you are taking in life. If you try
to call for help, then it means that you are trying to reach out for
support. You are looking for someone to lean on. Alternatively, being
lost means that you are still adjusting to a new situation in which the
rules and conditions are ever changing.
To dream that
someone else is lost represents some unresolved issues or feelings
pertaining to the person that is lost. Consider what aspect of that
person you may have lost within your own self. Perhaps you need to
recapture and re-acknowledge those aspects.
In both instances, the main characters in LOST could have been in a dream state interpretation. Individually, they had lost their direction in their life either personally or professionally. They may have pieced together a collective imagination of strangers with similar problems in order to cope with their own issues. The main characters struggle is trying to acknowledge and accept various aspects of their life, their character and their fate.
