Castle
Ambition, defense, achievement
Clothing
Identity, persona, social role
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.
Clothing
Clothing represents the social persona — the face you present to the world. The type of clothing reflects your self-image and social role: formal wear suggests professionalism, casual clothes represent authenticity, costumes indicate playing a role. Changing clothes suggests changing identity or social role. Wearing inappropriate clothing reflects feeling out of place. In Jungian terms, clothing is the persona — the mask between self and society.
