I agree wholeheartedly with Alexandra in the thread about fairy tales that symbols are very much to do with the person who experiences them.
One of my symbols is a black animal. It is so perfectly a symbol of my bete noire, my constant adversary, the side of myself I struggle with, the dark side. I dream of this beast often, sometimes it's a bear, sometimes a dog, sometimes a mouse, even once was a bat - and I always feel its size is in proportion to to my struggle at that moment.
Another is a hospital or school. I think this symbolizes being out of control, either wanting or feeling forced to give over control.
What are other people's symbols? And what do they mean to you?
