Castle
Ambition, defense, achievement
Floating
Detachment, peace, transition
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.
Floating
Floating dreams exist between flying and falling — they represent a state of suspension, neither rising nor descending. This can symbolize a transitional period in life, emotional detachment, or a state of peace and acceptance. Floating on water specifically relates to emotional buoyancy and trust in the flow of life.
