Death (Others)
Dreaming of someone else dying typically doesn't predict their death. Instead, it may represent changes in your relationship with that person, qualities of theirs that you're losing touch with, or your fears about losing them. If the person is a stranger, they may represent aspects of yourself that are 'dying' or transforming.
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.
