What does it mean to dream about loss of meaning?

A sense of losing understanding of the purpose or significance of what is happening in a dream, often evoking deep disorientation and emptiness.

Loss of meaning archetypally symbolizes a critical moment when a previous system of values or life purpose no longer works, while a new one has not yet formed. This is a painful, yet often necessary stage on the way to a more mature, personally forged meaning rather than one inherited from outside.
