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.
Train
Trains follow fixed tracks and represent destiny, life's predetermined path, and collective journeys shared with others. A train on schedule suggests life is progressing as planned. Missing a train represents missed opportunities on your life path. A derailed train indicates life going off course. Trains carry the symbolism of industrial progress and the momentum of large-scale change.
