Key

Quick Answer

Victory, power, knowledge, and the unlocking of closed doors.

Classical Interpretation (Ibn Sirin)

Holding a key in a dream is highly auspicious. It symbolizes gaining authority, wealth, and the answering of prayers. Keys unlock that which is closed, meaning a key can represent a solution to a difficult problem, relief from anxiety, or obtaining beneficial knowledge. Losing a key means losing an opportunity or a failure to achieve a goal.

Quranic Context
"And with Him are the keys of the unseen; none knows them except Him. (Quran 6:59)"

Note: According to the Sunnah, a good dream is from Allah and should only be shared with those you love. A bad dream is from Shaytan; seek refuge in Allah from it, spit drily to your left three times, and do not mention it to anyone. Dreams are subjective and should not be used to make definitive religious rulings.
