Baby
Babies in dreams often represent new beginnings, innocence, and vulnerable aspects of yourself that need nurturing. They can also symbolize new projects, ideas, or relationships in their infancy. Caring for a baby may reflect your nurturing nature, while neglecting a dream baby may indicate you're neglecting something important in waking life.
Key
Keys represent access, solutions to problems, and the power to open locked aspects of life or self. Finding a key suggests discovering a solution or gaining access to something previously closed off. A golden key represents important or spiritual access. Losing keys reflects anxiety about losing access to important areas of your life — security, identity, home. A key that doesn't fit suggests trying the wrong approach.
