Clothing
Identity, persona, social role
Hospital
Healing, vulnerability, need for care
Clothing
Clothing represents the social persona — the face you present to the world. The type of clothing reflects your self-image and social role: formal wear suggests professionalism, casual clothes represent authenticity, costumes indicate playing a role. Changing clothes suggests changing identity or social role. Wearing inappropriate clothing reflects feeling out of place. In Jungian terms, clothing is the persona — the mask between self and society.
Hospital
Hospitals represent the need for healing — physical, emotional, or psychological. Being a patient suggests vulnerability and a need to allow others to help. Working in a hospital may indicate a healing role in others' lives. An emergency room visit reflects urgent emotional needs. A hospital can also represent fear of illness or mortality.
