It can be used in the sense of “stand tall,” meaning confidence in abilities and recognition for achievements, or “stand your ground,” “top of the heap,” “king of the hill,” or “top-level.” A skyscraper can symbolize your body. It can symbolize an aspect of your mind, or your psyche. See: Buildings A skyscraper can symbolize a center of power, in your outer life or inner life.
