The Symbolism of a KEY in Dreams

“The Key to your Heart”

May well be hidden in your dreams…

To dream of a key is to dream of unlocking Pandora’s box of secrets. Opening to the sacred realms of secrets, death and rebirth and transformation. What is the secret code to unveil the psyche? It is the handing over of the keys. Dreaming of keys could be the very opening to a deeper understanding of yourself.

If you have dreamed of a key it is likely you have been touched by a guide who has initiated you into accessing the deeper realms of your memories, your conditioning and what lies beneath the door of your subconscious.

The Goddess Hecate is the protector of the keys at the threshold of graveyards. And she is often seen in dreams handing these keys over to the initiate at the turning points of the seasons. As Persephone returns to the upperworld in Spring and descends back to Hades in the Autumn and Winter. And so opening the dimensions between worlds. What doorway will you step into?

Is the key in you dream opening and releasing or is it bolting and locking? There is a tension between seeking and withholding when we speak of keys. Is it best to keep your psyche defended? Or pursue the hidden knowledge and treasures of your subconscious mind.

Are you closing a chapter in your life and burying the memories.

Or opening a new chapter?

What is locked away in your subconscious?

Dreaming of dropping keys may symbolise a house move.

Handed a bunch of keys? Knowing which key to choose, often requires the trying of many…
