Dreaming of holding a key - dream meaning with inherited lore

A key lies in your palm, and you look over the doors to decide which one to open. It may appear gleaming, or as you choose one from several keys.

Korean lore: Traditionally, keys have sometimes been interpreted as clues to solving a problem or opportunities to open a new door. Holding one in your hand may also be seen as a scene of having the power to choose for yourself. (In folk dream interpretations, a key is seen as a tool for opening what is locked, and a key held in your hand is read as an image of a solution and authority.)

Through the mind: It may reflect looking for a way to move into the next stage, such as changing jobs, moving house, or experiencing a shift in a relationship. You may feel you have gained a possibility, even though you have not opened the door yet.
