Castle
Ambition, defense, achievement
Death (Own)
Transformation, ending of a phase, rebirth
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.
Death (Own)
Dreaming of your own death is rarely a premonition — it almost always symbolizes the end of something in your waking life: a relationship, career phase, belief system, or identity. These dreams are actually among the most positive symbols in dream analysis, representing major transformation and the possibility of rebirth into a new phase of life.
