This is my favourite song so far this year, and has got me back into Oasis, who continue to go strong even now (except when someone other than Noel writes the music - see awful previous single 'I'm Outta Time').
It's about feeling distant from your surroundings (both "lost and found") when you realise that your life (simply a "dying dream") is fleeting and unimportant in the grand universe.
The line "if you won't save me, please don't waste my time" is especially poignant, because Gallagher has stated in the press that he is an athiest, indicating that talking with God can help stave off the feeling of one's life inevitably ending, but in the end this made-up person just wastes time on this earth.
Then again, this is Oasis so it probably means very little. Doesnt matter, it's amazing.
Some Noel Gallagher songs may mean nothing (see: 1998-2003), but there's no doubt this one along with many on Dig Out Your Soul do. And you're right, this song is definitely Noel talking to a God he doesn't believe exists.

P.S. - I'm Outta Time is a brilliant, brilliant song.
