What Does Key Mean in Dream Interpretation?
Dreaming of a key means a solution is within reach. Something that has been closed to you is about to open.
The key opens what is shut. In dreams it marks a problem that has a way through, whether or not you have found it yet.
Its state is the reading: a key in hand means the solution is within reach, a lost key means access you have misplaced.
