To dream of a lock means perplexity, even confusion.

If the lock is on a trunk or a door, the dreamer wishes to look beyond the lock so it is necessary to learn what the trunk door represents.

If things are locked up and we don’t have the key, then it is impossible for us to get to it. Consider the details in your dream and try to decipher the message. Are you the one that is locked up inside, or are opportunities closed to you? Locks in your dreams may represent those things that are currently inaccessible to you. Other interpretations suggest that locks are symbols of security and, at times, may have sexual connotations.
