Castle
A castle often points to the longing for safety or grandeur—perhaps a wish to feel protected, elevated, or in command of one's domain. Yet castles can also feel isolating, their stone walls both fortress and prison; what we build to keep danger out may also keep intimacy at bay.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for castle, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
To dream of being in a castle, you will be possessed of sufficient wealth to make life as you wish. You have prospects of being a great traveler, enjoying contact with people of many nations.
To see an old and vine-covered castle, you are likely to become romantic in your tastes, and care should be taken that you do not contract an undesirable marriage or engagement. Business is depressed after this dream.
To dream that you are leaving a castle, you will be robbed of your possessions, or lose your lover or some dear one by death.
