What is the spiritual significant of keys in your dream?
Over the years of analyzing my dreams and others I noticed “keys” appearing during specific times in peoples lives. This powerful symbol not only reflects a major changes that is undergoing in ones life, but insight to your future.
Throughout history keys are often depicted as a symbol representing knowledge, mystery, advancement and powers – a symbol that is closely tied with dreaming.
Due to the complex nature keys are often disguised as a new door that is opened in ones life, however this is usually unconscious to the dreamer. Think of our advancement with cars, house keys, digital locks and online passwords. Keys have become far more significant than we would have thought.
If the key is known to open a ‘metaphoric’ door in you life, what doors could your dream be suggesting? The location and objects in your dream become clues to help piece the puzzle together.
Alternatively, if you lost your keys it will alter looking outward to inward. If the key has been broken it wants you to explore what’s hindering you from your progress.

- Personal advancement (career or job)
- Unconscious communication
- Unlocking the past
- Gaining access (gateway, portals, mysteries)
- New opportunities
