Keys

The key is the object of which you probably do not think very often, unless you’ve just lost it. Most often it’s used to open locks and padlocks.

The vision of the key can be very important for the dreamer, because it is a symbol of new opportunities, changes, initiation, knowledge or a clue to the solution of a problem. If you dream about a key, you should take bold decisions (for example, invest money or legalize successful relationship). When the key is damaged, broken or lost, the dream warns against trouble.

Detailed meaning of the dream:

• Finding the key is a very good sign, because you’ll manage to solve a problem.
• Losing the key suggests that you are afraid of changes. You should also be wary of disagreements with the loved ones. When you've lost a bunch of keys, it is a clear signal that too many opportunities pass you by. The fantasies can also refer to the intimate aspect - it means a refusal, sexual frigidity or impotence.
• When in a dream you manage to find the lost key, this is a signal that you should have more thoughtful approach to some issues. If the loss is not found, then the dream means that someone will discover your secrets or intentions.
• Opening the door announces changes, making important decisions, or personal development.
• If you can not open the lock with a key, the dream means you’re not ready to make important decisions.
• When in a dream someone’s trying to open the lock on your door, it means that soon you will have some troublesome guests.
• Locking the door is a sign that you leave some matter, secret, or certain stage of life behind.
• Handing someone a bunch of keys shows your trust to that person, or help given.
• A broken key bodes illness or even death in your circle.
• A new key symbolizes the important discovery, new options and opportunities.
• Wearing the keys is a reflection of savings or sometimes even the ungenerous attitude of the dreamer.
• If someone hands you a key, it may be a warning against false people.
• If you happen to dream about giving someone the key to your house, you should be careful, because you are putting your family at risk.
• Peeping through the keyhole bodes trouble.
• Skeleton key seen in a dream is a warning against theft. So you should keep an eye on your material goods, especially on the bus, on vacation or at a disco. If, however, you find a pick, then you’ll manage to stop the thief. Sometimes the dream refers to memories that dreamer has already left behind. Perhaps for some reason they suddenly returned.
• Golden key reflects the high potential of the dreamer, as well as wealth, honor, wisdom, and authority. Gold also represents important life values, so the dream usually spells good events.
• Sigmund Freud believed that the insertion of the key into the lock of the door reflects the sexual act. The key symbolizes the penis, the keyhole - women's genitals.
