Dreaming of losing a duplicate key - dream meaning with inherited lore

You can’t remember where you put the spare key you had made. You search drawers or bags, but it doesn’t turn up, and you grow anxious.

Korean lore: Traditionally, losing a key is sometimes interpreted as worrying about losing a lead that could resolve a problem, or an opportunity you had prepared for. If you couldn’t find the spare key either, it may reflect wondering whether you’re prepared enough. (This interpretation draws on folk dream traditions that view a key as a solution or an opportunity.)

Through the mind: You may be in a period when you’ve made a backup plan but still can’t feel sure about the outcome. Rather than meaning you’ll actually lose something, the dream may reflect the pressure of preparing and staying in control.
