Castle
Ambition, defense, achievement
Flying
Freedom, ambition, transcendence
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.
Flying
Flying dreams are among the most exhilarating and common dream experiences. They typically represent a desire for freedom, liberation from constraints, or rising above problems. Lucid dreamers often seek out the flying experience as a symbol of control over one's dream life. The ease of flying matters: effortless flight suggests confidence and control, while struggling to fly may indicate obstacles to your ambitions.
