Dreaming that one lost key multiplies into many - dream meaning with inherited lore
It can reflect the pressure of feeling that the choices and responsibilities you need to handle have multiplied while solving just one problem.
You are searching for a key you know was originally just one, but the keys in your hand keep multiplying. They look similar, and you stare at them for a long time, unable to tell which one is right.
Korean lore: Traditionally, seeing several keys has been interpreted as having more choices or taking on more responsibilities. Along with broader opportunities, it can mean needing to decide what to choose first. (This interpretation comes from folk dream traditions that connect the number of keys with the number of choices and paths available to you.)
Through the mind: You may have several decisions to make at once involving work, a job change, housing, or relationships. Even though having many options is good, the exhaustion of not feeling sure about any one of them may have appeared in your dream.
