School

Garden
Gardens represent the cultivated aspects of your psyche — the parts you've consciously nurtured and grown. A beautiful garden suggests inner peace, creativity, and personal growth. A neglected garden may indicate aspects of yourself you've been ignoring. Planting seeds represents new intentions, while harvesting represents reaping the rewards of your efforts.
School
Schools represent learning situations, self-evaluation, and the social dynamics of your current life. Returning to school as an adult often reflects feeling unprepared or tested in a real-life situation. Being lost in school suggests confusion about your role. Taking a class you didn't know about represents unexpected challenges. The specific school — elementary, high school, university — indicates which life stage is being referenced.
