Dreaming that you return the key to the person who betrayed you - dream meaning with inherited lore

Korean lore: Traditionally, dreams about returning a key or closing a door have sometimes been interpreted as putting the rights and boundaries of a relationship in order. They can also be seen as leaving old worries behind and creating a new order. (In folk dream interpretations, a key is sometimes read as a symbol of resolving something locked away or having the authority to enter and leave.)
