Getting lost is the occurrence of a person or animal losing spatial reference.[1] This situation consists of two elements: the feeling of disorientation and a spatial component.[2] While getting lost, being lost or totally lost, etc. are popular expressions for someone in a desperate situation (perhaps not literally lost), getting lost is also a positive term for a goal some travellers have in exploring without a plan.[3][4][5] Getting lost can also occur in metaphorical senses, such as being unable to follow a conversation.
