I had gone to Dallas with some friends, some of whom were famous people, like Jennifer Aniston, who aren’t friends in real life. But they were sweet friends in the dream. We were in this neat mall. There was a little 2 year old girl with us. As we were coming out of a store, we lost her. Three of us split from the group to go find her. Then I said for each of us 3 to go searching in different places she may be. I went into the Disney themed place. It was so neat. But I was panicked. I couldn’t find. Someone there said try this other store for children. I left to do that. There wasn’t really an exit from that Disney themed place, but I got out going through a roped off area. I was searching for the children’s store when I realized I was now lost too and I didn’t have my phone. I ran into two guys I sort of knew and they said the little girl wouldn’t be at the children’s store. There was dancing there. I said let me look anyway. But I couldn’t get directions from them. Then I realized I was no longer at the mall. I asked an older couple how to get back, they said it was a couple of blocks down a freeway, then to go off this ramp. I said I should probably not walk on a freeway. They agreed. I sat down with the 2 guys. I asked them to please not leave me. Then I had an old flip phone from 20 years ago. For some reason my friends numbers should be on it, but I couldn’t figure out how to work. The guys weren’t much help trying to figure it out either. I said I was surprised it still worked. There was two places to find my contact list on the phone, but it was two different contact list. One guy found one contact list, but it wasn’t the one with my friends. I kept tinkering with the phone, trying to use the search button, and go to different screens. Every time I felt I was almost to the right screen it would go to another one. Then I woke up.

Losing her in the dream may suggest feelings of inadequacy or fear of losing control in a particular situation.
The setting of a mall can symbolize choices, opportunities, and potential distractions in your life. Feeling panicked and unable to find the girl may reflect anxieties or fears about not being able to fulfill your responsibilities or protect those who are vulnerable.
The Disney-themed place may represent a desire for fantasy, imagination, or escapism. The inability to find an exit from this area could suggest feeling trapped or stuck in a particular mindset or situation.
Encountering the two guys you sort of knew may signify feelings of uncertainty or lack of support from acquaintances in your life. Their inability to provide helpful directions or assistance may point to a sense of being adrift or lacking guidance.
The old flip phone and the struggle to find your friends' contact information on it may symbolize difficulties in connecting with others or feeling out of touch with your social circle.
