A dream that you find something that you had lost often means that you are becoming aware of an aspect of your personality that you did not know existed, or an aspect of your personality that you have been repressing.
Your dream may be telling you that you have the opportunity to develop new skills and talents, or that you must learn to integrate the different aspects of your personality in order to be a happy, well-rounded person.
Finding something unexpectedly in a dream can be a message that you have the ability to find a solution to a difficult problem.
A dream that you help someone else find something can mean that you are more valuable to others than you realize.
If you find something in a dream and then lose it again, your dream could be warning you that you are taking someone in your life for granted.
If you have lost an object in real life, you might discover its location in a dream.
