Way

Losing your way often touches a warning to give up lucky speculations, since your enterprises threaten failure unless you manage them painstakingly. The dream may ask where you've lost your bearings, and whether the disorientation is the signal to stop trusting to luck and tend your affairs with the attention that keeps them from failing.

Miller 1901

Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
