Physical Physical
You are looking at your own authority, leadership ability, or questioning your role in society.
Emotional Emotional
You feel you’re being swallowed up by other people’s ideas and emotions. Or, you need greater anonymity and privacy.
Spiritual Spiritual
A crowd indicates that you are participating in a group mind or collective consciousness.
SYMBOLISM SYMBOLISM
The idea of the ‘crowd’ is symbolically superior to that of ‘multiplicity’, since it implies a new concept of the numerous as a totality, or of Oneness as a fragmented whole. Thus, Jung’s interpretation of the multitude or crowd is well judged; he asserts that, especially when moving or restless, it corresponds to an analogous movement in the unconscious.

Homer has a well-known simile in which he likens a crowd of warriors in the agora (or in battle) to the ocean swell (constituting another symbol of the unconscious).
