Castle
Ambition, defense, achievement
Hiding
Avoidance, protection, shame
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.
Hiding
Hiding in dreams represents avoidance, the desire for protection, or shame about something in your life. What you're hiding from reveals what you're avoiding in waking life. Successfully hiding may indicate relief from pressure, while being found despite hiding suggests that avoidance isn't working. Hiding someone else may represent protecting someone or concealing a secret.
