Castle
Ambition, defense, achievement
Tiger
Raw power, unpredictability, courage
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.
Tiger
Tigers represent raw, untamed power and primal instinct. Unlike lions which often symbolize social authority, tigers are solitary and represent individual power and fierce independence. In Chinese culture, the tiger is king of all beasts and represents courage and protection. A tiger appearing in your dream may signal that you need to harness your personal power or face a situation with courage.
