Losing Keys in Dreams

Keys are important objects in one’s life, for they have the ability to unlock things and divulge treasures hidden away from us. In dreams, keys may be representative of your self-identity or soul. Thus, to see yourself losing keys in a dream, it suggests that you feel like you are losing a part of yourself. What once used to be unique and individualize you from others is now lost. You fear that you are losing your current status and position in the world.

Losing Keys in Dreams

This may also be symbolic of you losing the shield that sheltered you from others since the keys to unlock this barrier are no longer in your possession. As a result, you feel vulnerable and are scared that people will take advantage of you. Losing keys in your dream may rival your feelings of losing connection with loved ones and your social network is slowly dimming down.

  1. I dreamt that a group of us had to hang our keys on hooks before some sort of meeting and after the meeting my keys were missing. The meeting did not occur in the dream I just knew there was one.
    This is the second time in five years I have had this same dream.

    • Let’s find out what your keys represent in your life. The most common meanings of a lost key in a dream are that you are feeling insecure and vulnerable, as if someone else can come into your safe space and ruin it. It may also be representative of a lack of control in one’s life, or that one feels they are not in charge anymore.

  2. I dream’t of losing my keys, I asked my wife and she said she has not seen them, she actually called me careless. I was troubled because those keys are for my office and the house, and the next day I have to report to work early in the morning. Just before I went to bed, I remembered I had put them in the inside pocket of the bag, I opened the zip, saw them smiled on myself and got into bed. Then I here the alarm ringing. It’s time to wake up. (Kindly not, 1 day before, I actually left my keys in the house and I had to operate in someone else office)

  3. I had this dream in a hotel room of a guy who’s really helped me open my mind (but that same night after the dream hurt my heart saying he had another woman he’s in an open relationship with after a good sober night dancing at the bar) in the morning a couple days ago. The first dream happened while he was sleeping next to me. That dream there was a very tall blonde man (I can’t remember if he was clothed or not, but did have underwear on if he wasn’t) just walking around the room, looking at me. I didn’t try to freak out or fight like I normally do when I feel uncomfortable in dreams. Then woke up next to the guy I liked and just stayed awake for awhile feeling a little uneasy. Then after he left to work In the second dream I was on vacation in Mexico (it could have been a cruise ship or house boat just by the way the room was laid out) and I can only remember my sister being there, but there were other people with us. I think my cousin and aunt were there aswell and some other girls close me either me or my sister’s age(21 and 16). I remember being in a bed in a really confined room (kind of like the top bunk of a camper) that was my sister’s room and just staying in the bed super concerned because I couldn’t find my own room key. The room was nice and did have a kitchen area you could stand in. I felt so anxious that I couldn’t find my room keys. Woke up in the hotel I was in and realized I wasn’t in vacation and didn’t have to worry about the keys cause they were there. Anyone have any insight on what to do with this information? Im trying to stop communicating with the guy I like because he seems to just underestimate my brain. He’s more of a night time lazy person, and I always wanted him to see and appreciate the beauty of the day and nature.

  5. Hello,

    I actually didn’t dream myself of me losing my keys. An extended family member did and in the dream we were at a park with my whole family and he said in the dream, all the people in the entire park was helping me look!
    What could that mean?? Does the general analysis still apply even though it wasn’t my dream?

  6. Hi. I dreamt I was on some kind of raft, on a beach near where I spent a few late teen years and my Mum still lives now.
    I had a large set of keys- identical to the ones I carry now- with 15 or so keys. A girlfriend somehow dropped them as I threw them to her and she only managed to catch 2, while we watched the others slip into a deep depth. The seas were grey and choppy by now, and I remember being quite upset and trying in desperation to locate them in the murky depths when I woke in a slight sweat.
    Whilst I can understand some elements of this dream, I’d be very interested and humbled to hear all of your interpretations 🙌

    • Did you ever figure out what the significance of dropping your keys in the toilet was?
      I had the same dream. Strangely, the poop was on the back end of the water, and it wasnt muddied by the poop. The keys dripped in the front end. I was amazed that I could grab them up without them being covered in crap.

  9. I dreamt of myself going to an event to help out a friend with his event. When I got there I met Eunice and Mmaki( she is late in real life) and I just know them from my village. and we started talking. In the dream again I left a my boyfriend’scar at some place because I was driving it. And we were going to fetch the keys so that I could bring it back to my boyfriend. Eunice took the keys away from me and ran. I told her not to drive the car because I am coming. I was with Mamaki. When I got to that place Eunice was not there and I started looking for her. When I called her on the phone she told me that she is at the place where we left the car.

    When I go there I met few of the ladies from my home place and they told me that Eunice is not where she is saying she is. I started to be anxious and when I try to call her again her phone was off. I was shouting calling out her name and I woke up.

  10. In my dream, I lost the key to my car. I never sound it, it was still somehow able to drive the car. Then somewhere along the road I realized I didn’t have the key so I had to stop (I mean the engine just stopped) and I was without the key. It would disappear. at some point I found myself at an apartment complex with my neighbors who were home birthing a new kid. The whole time I was looking after the other kids the couple had already had, but I was constantly thinking about finding my key. The new kid was born and I went back to my apartment to find my key.

    When I got there, my aunt and mom and cousins were there and nobody would help me find the key. For some reason my mother was very caring and helpful and full of wisdom (very rare thing) and I resented my aunt. I eventually just left (we were in the middle of making tacos for dinner) to go find my key.

    Then I woke up.

  11. My cousin killed herself over a year ago. She visited me in my dream last night. I was on vacation and I ran into her sister and her friend at a concert or something. Whoever the celebrity was, in my dream we were related. We were leaving and I was really excited. I was skipping and dancing and flailing my arms in the air. I had a drink in my hand and it was spilling all over me and I didn’t care. We got to where they were staying which looked like a huge lake house and they got into a hot tub. I was all sticky so I wanted to get in too but as soon as I put my foot in I jumped right out. It was WAY too hot. It seemed to be almost boiling. Then my cousin (the one that’s no longer with us) showed up and started talking to me. She led me up some stairs to a window. It was a big window and it was high. Up to my shoulders high. I could see the tv was on inside. She pushed the window open and told me she was locked out. I asked her if she wanted me to boost her in the window and she told me no. I peeked into the window and the room was so cluttered and messy. Even the window sill was full of thick dust and small items. I saw two keys on a key ring and I picked them up. I told her she should try the keys on the door and then I dropped them through the deck and they landed under the house. My heart dropped and she assured me they wouldn’t have worked anyway. We walked back down the stairs and I shared something I remembered from when we were in high school and she smiled and laughed and then I woke up.
