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.
