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.
Teeth Falling Out
