Have you ever been lost?

I am direction clueless. I get lost so often that we made it a fun game when the kids were little. Most of my dreams are about being lost. I’ll dream I’m in a hospital I used to work in, or a shopping mall, and I can’t find my way to the other side. Or I’ll be in a city I know so well, walking, and I get all confused. End up in dark alleys and less stellar parts of town, begging for someone to help.

I have a terrible sense of direction as well, and remember a friend and I getting lost in Burnaby, BC, back in the late 70's while on a walking shopping trip.
 
I was lost once looking for mushrooms close to town. I could hear traffic but I couldn't determine the direction it was coming from.

The area I was in was covered in swamps.

I climbed a hill to get my bearings. Now I have a compass and I know how to use it.
 

I’m terrible at directions ,hubby was the driver and map controller,
But now.......I drive , but hubby is useless at directions since his stroke.....
I will ask him .......do I turn left or right at this junction, and he will say
Emmmmmmm , and by the time he’s answered , it’s too late ..😂 bless him....

At least he is not yelling at you! After his first stroke, with Ruby at the wheel and hands clenched on the wheel, my husband 'yelled' and drove me insane...while I bit my lips and kept my mouth closed. One time, I slowed down to a stop at the side of the road, and asked him very politely to get out...with the sound of yelling all the way. He said why and I once more very calmly told him so he could take the bus home for the rest of the way. Seeing, he hated buses with a passion, he shut up for the rest of the way home. And that was the first stroke with medical emergencies to follow. It is a wonder I am still sane!
 
One of my earliest memories of childhood was getting separated from my mother in Macy's in downtown NYC.

As for dreams, I seem to not be able to find my car most of the time.

Not lost but maybe a little misplaced at times.

I've always had a good sense of direction. When I traveled, I kept a good map for insurance. It was in the days when GPS was in its infancy.

I lived with a map and paper and pencil in the car always!
