Supernatural things cannot be used as an answer as it is not a universally believed. Love... Hm, getting close but not quite. Think of a concrete object.

[Kaezion]

piano
it has white keys and black keys, but they don't unlock physical locks
however, the music they make is expressive of the pianist's soul.

[Pendragon205]

ohh, i would have never thought of that

[Bashae]

[Kaezion]

in the land of dreams do dreams reside,
that nonsense reveal,
and reality hide.

[Bashae]

Not quite for either of you. Here's a hint: "...where does it lie?"

That line is important for the answer.

Riddle #50 - BONUS HALF-CENTURY RIDDLE!
This riddle is worth 5 points.

A beggar's brother went out to sea and drowned.
But the man who drowned had no brother.
What was the relationship between the man who drowned and the beggar?

[Pendragon205]

there are two possibilities i see:
1) they were brothers in spirit, or 2) the man who drowned was mad and rejected the beggar as his brother

[Kaezion]

is this man literally a man, or can he represent something?
if the man is a metaphor, then i'd say that the man was poverty, as poverty is a beggar's constant companion (a 'brother'). a beggar went out to sea, presumably to start a trading business, and it was there his poverty 'drowned' - in other words, the beggar became wealthy.

Pendragon: Your first answer is very close.

Kaezion: The man is literally a man.
