In general:

Desert often indicates that you live too sober, factual and reasonable, also the emotional needs are neglected, you feel unhappy. Finally, the desert also indicates deep existential fear and uncertainty. The individual meaning should be obtained from the concrete circumstances of life. If it is a dream, where the dreamer is alone in the desert, so this may be an indication of lack of emotional fulfillment, loneliness, or perhaps isolation. If the dreamer is with a different man in the desert, then this may show, that this relationship is useless and leads nowhere. Another aspect of the desert can be explained by the fact that desert played a major role for many founders of religions: Moses, Jesus. Desert was the place, in which they withdrew to hold direct dialogue with God. So, becaus of that dreaming of a desert could mean also that you will go far away from everything in everyday life. You want to find solitude and contemplation in your inner determination and your own way to God.
