The Dream Book of Self-Knowledge
- besieging or conquering a castle: might not be as helpful as it may seem at first glance; sometimes it is better to surround the castle, to let this isolated part "starve" itself, so that it voluntarily abandons the castle with a feeling of unfulfillment.
- being in a besieged castle: symbolizes the defense against the influences of the outside world, though such a defense results in isolation that brings that unpleasant and often depressive feeling that we have postponed something and that we did not complete something; a person is besieged in dreams mainly as a result of a bad conscience and moral mistakes.
