The Complete Dream Book

by Gillian Holloway
To dream that you lose your keys signifies anger.

To dream you have a bunch of keys, and that you give them to those that desire them of you, shows great good to poor captives, for it implies that shortly they shall gain their liberty, A key seen in a dream.

To him who would marry signifieth a good and handsome wife, and a good housekeeper.

It is cross to a traveler, for it signifieth he shall be put back and hindered and not received.

It is good for such as would take in hand other men’s business.

The Mystic Dream Book

by Stephen Girard
To dream of keys is favorable to a person in trade; and, to a sailor, they denote some gift, and that the dreamer will become rich. To dream of finding a key, denotes an addition to your estate; if you are married, it foretells the birth of a child. If you give another a key, you will be speedily married; in love, keys betoken faithfulness, and a good-tempered sweetheart.

To dream your kevs are gone or lost,

Denotes that you'fi be vexed or crossed.

The Fabric of Dream

by Katherine Taylor Craig
A dream of coldness and hindrances to travelers. Fortunate for managers of other people’s affairs; to dream of giving a key augurs marriage; to receive one, honor and confidence; many keys denote wealth; to lose keys denotes anger and misfortune (Gypsy). A talisman of power, sagacity and foresight. Christ speaks of the key of knowledge (Luke xi, 52). Chinese symbol of prudence.
