Dreaming of being unable to find the exit in a department store - dream meaning with inherited lore

Korean lore: There doesn’t seem to be an established traditional interpretation specifically for being unable to find an exit in a department store. Traditional readings of getting lost often consider both the place and the dream’s final scene.
