Airplane
Ambition, journey, rising above
Castle
Ambition, defense, achievement
Airplane
Airplanes represent lofty ambitions, major life journeys, and the desire to rise above earthly concerns. Flying in a plane differs from personal flying: it represents collective journeys and reliance on systems larger than yourself. A plane taking off symbolizes launching a major project or life phase. A crashing plane represents fear of ambitious plans failing. Turbulence reflects anxiety about the journey.
Castle
Castles represent grand ambitions, defense mechanisms, and the fortified self. A magnificent castle may symbolize aspirations for greatness, while a castle under siege reflects feeling attacked or defensive. Exploring a castle suggests discovering the many rooms of your psyche. A castle on a hill represents elevated goals and the effort required to reach them. A crumbling castle suggests that defenses are no longer serving you.
