Losing the Keys Dream

Last night, I dreamed I lost my car keys. I had locked the car—and I think I left it running. So the keys must've been in the car. But I couldn't find a key to get back in. And for some reason my car was really one of those giant pick-up trucks, which I  wouldn't drive. But this is a dream so . . . Anyway, I searched everywhere I could think of, but no luck. So I decided to go about my business—and worry about the keys when I needed them. And that surely happened.

Then some old boyfriend showed up. At first I thought about getting back into a relationship with him, but he didn't want to. Then I realized that I didn't want it either. It just seemed like a way to get home. Then I checked a key ring in my purse, but the keys weren't there. Then I poured all of the contents out of my purse and thought for moment I had found them. But again no. The illusive keys disappeared before I can get them in my hand.

Then, a revelation hit me. I had given spare keys to a number of people.  In fact, at least five people had keys. I could remember who had them—all I had to do was ask. Why hadn't I remembered that before? Why did I always forget that these people had keys? If I could remember that, I wouldn't have to go through this all the time.

Anyway, I think I know what this means in my life. I keep going through the same problem over and over, and I forget that I know where the keys are to solve it.

Have you ever dreamed that you lost your keys?
