Flying
Flying dreams are among the most exhilarating and common dream experiences. They typically represent a desire for freedom, liberation from constraints, or rising above problems. Lucid dreamers often seek out the flying experience as a symbol of control over one's dream life. The ease of flying matters: effortless flight suggests confidence and control, while struggling to fly may indicate obstacles to your ambitions.
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.
