Ever since I saw Coraline, I wanted a Skeleton Key necklace. Having a skeleton key (master key) means I can open any lock, any door and is a confident reminder for myself.

The key is an object symbolic of opening and closing powers. It represents knowledge, mystery, initiation, and curiosity. Traditionally, a silver key refers to temporal power. (relating to earthly life) and gold keys represent spiritual power. I am eyeing the silver oval Tiffany one. Here are some of my favorites.

According to Dream-Land, this is what it means when you dream of keys:
“The key represents your ability to open and close doors. This dream usually is a message saying that with the logic, intelligence and reasoning you can solve any problems. Looking at a key in the dream means that you will be told a secret or you will find a solution to a puzzle. If you are unlocking something, be careful, you might get involved into a risky adventure. If you are losing a key in the dream, because of your carelessness you might lose good opportunities. Finding a key in the dream foretells good chances in work and love. If you find a key which belongs to somebody else, you will soon find out a secret.”
