Dreaming of a lock means that you are probably preventing situations in your life from developing the way they should, except if the lock is open; for the meaning would be the opposite.

A dream presents several details, but we usually remember specifically the most important ones for a correct interpretation. If the sizes of the padlock in the dream – small, large and giant – were the facts that most aroused your curiosity, there is certainly a specific call for meanings arising from that.

Dreaming of a small padlock means that you are unconsciously blocking something or someone that would be interesting to have in your life, to better develop yourself spiritually.

The dream brings this alert, so that you can assess whether it would not be more useful to realize what you may be avoiding and give this small change a chance to make a positive difference – immediately or not – in your life.

■

When in the dream the padlock is big it means that you are preventing situations that lead to big changes in your life. These scenarios are necessary for your personal advancement, and you need to alert yourself as soon as possible so that you do not continue to prevent you from living this necessary experience.

So, give a chance to someone who wants to participate in your life or allow different situations to flow. If a new proposal appears in your work, for example, don’t be afraid to accept it.

■

Dreaming of a giant padlock is a warning that you are blocking the development of situations that are essential for your life, which are even the mainstay of your survival.

In that sense, be sure to take care of your health or do not allow yourself to continue in abusive relationships, stuck to the idea that this is the only way to go.

The dream speaks of your resistance to accepting painful situations – because it takes you out of your comfort zone; but essential for breaking imprisoning cycles.

In dreams with locks they are usually closed. When people wake up from dreams like this, they tend to assume this unconsciously: there was a closed padlock in my dream.

But such an assumption is not always necessary. The memory of the dream often focuses on exactly that, on the certainty, not the assumption, of the lock’s condition.

After all, if it’s closed, if it’s open, if it’s new, if it’s broken, if it’s golden or rusty; whatever detail it is, the meaning of the dream undergoes changes that are necessary for knowledge. Keep reading to understand better.

The certainty that the lock was closed in the dream is evidence that you are a person (or are in a phase) reclusive of connections to the world and personal relationships.

There are moments in life that call for a limitation regarding our contact with the external world, or even with ourselves. However, dreaming of a closed padlock is a warning that the phase you are in is not conducive to blocking new experiences. Evaluate at what points you might be doing this, and change.

Thus, it is important to reinforce that sometimes this look is not outward, but inward. After all, if you are depriving yourself of connecting with yourself, any real connection with the outside will be almost impossible.

■

Dreaming of an open lock means that you are in a favorable phase to relate to something new. Therefore, the “new” can be expressed in multiple ways: in friendship, family, work, love, among other aspects.

In that sense, take advantage of this phase susceptible to permissiveness and ease, to embrace what is coming or what is already present. Only then will it be possible to experience something innovative and very profitable for its existence.

Spirituality sent you a message through the dream of a new lock, because dreaming about it means that you need to enter a process of limitation in some area of your life.

Therefore, something is not going very well on your path, something or someone is an unnecessary presence in your life. It is likely that you are relating to people who suck your energy, or you are in an unfavorable context for your development.

In this sense, dreaming of a new lock asks you to analyze the situation you are in – if necessary, even write about it – discovering which situation or person is harming you, thus developing protective barriers for your life. That is, if you noticed that an acquaintance speaks toxically about you and your actions, it is recommended that you no longer resort to that person’s opinion, for example.

■

Dreaming of a broken lock is a warning that you have lost your ability to limit negative relationships and stressful contexts in your life. Thus, it is necessary to recover the critical sense so that you do not get involved in harmful situations for yourself.

One way of perceiving the context that is found is through questioning: “Is this really good for me?”; “Is this person actually being my friend?” Question yourself and with each answer you get, even if in a deductive way, you will exercise a more attentive look at the situations that surround you, developing your ability to impose the necessary limits when the time comes.

The golden padlock carries the symbolic message that someone, or yourself, may end up blocked from an opportunity that will bring you money.

When it comes to yourself, it may be that the rejection of a proposal will bring you economic losses or prevent you from making a financial profit. This gain is not always immediate, it is worth mentioning, sometimes the opportunity now will open the doors so that only in the future you will have this return. So, pay attention to what comes to you, avoid refusing as much as possible.

There is also the possibility that a third party is preventing you from receiving something that will be profitable for you. It is likely that someone has their eyes on a promotion they are about to receive and creates obstacles to it. So, pay attention to those around you, the advice is to try to find out who could be causing this, and treat the person very well, to the point that they feel bad about trying to harm you.

You probably believe that you are open to new experiences, but you are not as susceptible as you believe, if you dreamed of a rusty lock. Thus, this dream means that you are not opening up as you could in situations and relationships.

Ho’oponopono meditation is a suggestion on what to do about it. Such meditation consists of a Hawaiian mantra that reproduces the following phrases: “I am sorry”, “forgive me”, I love you” and “I am grateful”. Set aside a time every day for nine days and do it: gradually you will notice the change.

Do you know when you have a dream and what calls the most attention, in addition to the main object, is the situation in which it finds itself?

This happens because the way the object is in completely changes the meaning of the dream. Therefore, dreaming of a padlock means, in general, a lock.

But if you are seeing the padlock; trying to unlock it; opening one; with his keys; among other situations, the meaning of the dream can change completely. Come check!

To dream that you are seeing a padlock is an omen that something will block your creativity and ability to relate. However, there is a possibility to prevent this from happening.

Dreams like this usually warn of demotivating situations. So, if you are a person who has already been diagnosed with depression, it might be good to make an appointment with a psychiatrist or look for alternatives for emotional strengthening.

Also, this type of dream is a guideline for prevention. Do your best to stay strong in these times, so you can get around this situation with ease.

Dreaming that you are trying to open a lock means that you are trying to make a connection with a person full of barriers in life and you will have difficulty developing this possible emotional bond.

There is also the possibility that it is the other way around: someone is approaching you, trying to build a relationship, be it friendship or romantic, and you are putting up barriers for that to develop.

Thus, in both cases it is necessary to detect what possible relationship this is. In addition to assessing whether or not it is worth giving the chance: whether to persist in creating the relationship, or to give in for it to occur.

■

When you dream that you are opening a lock, your unconscious wants to convey the message that the attitudes you have been taking are directing you to new possibilities. Thus, it would be interesting to realize what it has been doing differently, to reinforce this action and speed up the innovation process.

This dream also has another meaning, but only for those who haven’t been in a romantic relationship for a long time: someone may be coming to undo their ties, offering them a new possibility of experiencing love.

■

To dream that you are finding the keys to a padlock means that if you are in a relationship with someone difficult, or you are in a life situation full of obstacles, you will soon find the answer to deal with it.

There is a way to speed up the process of finding the solution and getting what you want: meditate on it. So, set aside time, a silent space, disposition and take a few deep breaths trying to empty your mind of thoughts. Afterwards, when you feel your head clearer and lighter, reflect on the alternatives to deal with what you want. You have all the answers within you.
