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.
Sun
The sun is the supreme symbol of consciousness, vitality, and life force. A bright sun represents clarity, optimism, and success. A rising sun symbolizes new beginnings, while a setting sun represents completion and the transition to rest. An eclipse suggests temporary blockage of vitality or consciousness. In Jungian analysis, the sun represents the conscious ego and the illuminating power of awareness.
