i read on that loosing things in dreams means that i work for others, to loose then find means something good, and searching for lost things means that i must not let others to cheat me

in this particular point of my life, i broke up friendship with my best friend cause of him and his habits, and yesterday i decided to move out of condo where we live and search someone else.

what is the meaning and is it connected with this going on in me ?

Mayby you're uncertain if you have decided well to break up the friendship. Loosing things might signify loosing (in reality) the good moments with your friend that you'll never have in the future because of your choice. Just the FEAR from having made a bad decision.

Well, forget those silly Dream Interpretation books. They try to tell you what dreams mean. But dreams are not about MEANING. Dreams are about responses and choices we make while we are dreaming. If we make the CORRECT choices, then we move on to bigger and better things. But if we get it wrong, then the dreams repeat.... we have reoccurring dreams.

So, what you are having is a reoccurring Dream or a reoccurring Dream Motif. the reason this dream reoccurrs is because you are getting some choice wrong. The Dream reoccurs in order to give you second and third chances to get it right.

Well, besides the 'naked in public' dream motif, one of the most common Dream Motifs is the 'Losing Something But Can't Find It' dream motif. This is what I think you landed yourself into.

the Answer here is to not go for the bait. heck with the stupid cell phone. But you panic and get excited! yes, I know that in real life you can't let all your possessions just wander off, and they won't. But your Dreaming Persona doesn't need to care so much, does it? Your Dream Persona does not need to be held back by so many Waking Anxieties. So as many times a day as you can, remind yourself that in your dreams you should NEVER look for anything lost, or even find your way if you are lost yourself. Now, you don't have to become Lucid for your Dream Persona to remember this advice during a Dream, though the realization that your Dream Persona is taking advice from the Waking Persona may well stir the Lucid Impulse. Just be aware that long before they knew about Lucid Dreaming, people had been doing very pointed and constructive Dream Work.

What happens in a dream when you quit the looking for things lost is that you will either immediately find them... usually a DreamCharacter will step forward with the object, or with directions. Or you find that you simply don't need the darn thing anymore.

I think it is. I think the phone especially just symbolizes communication. Almost as if you are "losing touch" with that person. As far as the wallet that could mean you feel like you are losing either money or maybe identity - since that's where you keep you id.

Pay attention to your feelings. Did you feel panicked about it? or maybe you just felt tired?

Sometimes I have reoccuring dreams where I actually feel tired from something chasing me, it's just my subconsious telling me I am sick of dealing with it and need to work it out already.
