The Big Dictionary of Dreams

by Martha Clarke
Dreaming that you have not taken care of or have lost something can be interpreted in two ways. On one hand, it can be a warning that you are really not taking care of something important; but it can also be a sign of excessive concern that you feel for a particular object, work, or person. By making a detailed analysis of the dream and certain circumstances in the dreamer’s life, she will know how to interpret the message from her unconscious.
