1. The traditional interpretation

A dream about a locket often hints at secrets, memories, or aspects of your identity that you keep close to your heart. That's the simplest answer.
It may be a representation of something or someone you cherish deeply. If you're giving a locket in a dream, it suggests you're ready to share a hidden part of yourself or a cherished memory with someone else. Receiving a locket, by contrast, indicates that someone is entrusting you with their secrets or memories. It's a sign of trust and intimacy.
A locket is a very complex dream concept to to give you a single interpretation of. To really know without any doubts, I would need to understand the dreamer's past and current mindset.
2. The psychoanalyst's interpretation

In the Freudian perspective, a locket in a dream may symbolize the unconscious desire to safeguard one's ego from the intrusion of repressed emotions or traumatic memories.
Dream concepts like a locket can be multilayered, however. If you've dreamed of giving a locket, it could signify your subconscious attempt to transfer or project these repressed elements onto another person. Conversely, receiving a locket may indicate your unconscious acceptance of another's projected emotions or memories. This dream scenario may be thought of as a manifestation of the psychoanalytic concept of transference and countertransference, where the dreamer either displaces their emotional responses onto another or absorbs the emotional responses of others.0
3. The spiritualist's interpretation

Dreaming about a locket or exchanging one is a spiritual symbol of the heart's sacred chamber, where divine love and wisdom are stored. If you've dreamt of a locket, it signifies your soul's journey to unlock these divine aspects within you. Giving a locket in a dream represents your readiness to share your spiritual wisdom or love, suggesting a deep connection with the recipient. Receiving a locket, conversely, signifies that you are being entrusted with someone's spiritual wisdom or love, a divine gift that should be cherished. This dream scenario is a spiritual reminder of the interconnectedness of all souls and the divine love and wisdom that binds us all.
