What does it mean 

A castle in a dream often represents a parental complex. A man and a woman – a king and a queen live in the castle, and the symbolism of the castle is also inaccessibility or impermeability, solidity, which is characteristic of the archetype of parenthood.

The parental complex works in us all our lives and is somehow inaccessible, it acts as something invincible, at least during the period of growing up, and often also many years lateron.

Even when we grow up, the parental complex determines our actions to a large extent, because sometimes despite the many choices we have in life, we end up doing exactly what our parents would have done. But we can tend to do something the way it should be - that is, “the way we've always done it at home”, which is just the other face of the parental complex.
