Provisional Analysis for Alison, 5 May 2005

These results are a rough estimate of a proper analysis. The AI used to generate this report can make very stupid mistakes. Numbers in parentheses represent the confidence the AI has in the preceding statement.

This is how you described the room:

the room is bright from sunlight. it is a comfortable temperature..it is scarcely furnished, just the bed i am in, a comfortable-looking chair and a dresser with 5 drawers with a vase of pretty flowers on top. there is a old fashioned alarm clock on the table next to the bed. on the wall there is a painting.

The initial room is the subject’s childhood. What interests us here is the general atmosphere of the room, in addition to the level of furnishings described by the subject. This comfortable room suggests a childhood that was pleasant (99.97%). The significant detail in the description of the room tells us that the subject has rich, lasting memories of childhood (96.31%).

You wanted to leave the room.

The subject wanted to become an adult.

This is how you described the forest:

there are many tall trees as well as some evergreens. it is not too dense...it is not that dark.

The forest is growing up, and the trees are those adults with whom the subject interacted at that time. A semi-dark forest tells us that the subject felt somewhat oppressed by the attention the adults gave (57.93%). Tall trees imply that the adults had a strong influence on the subject (99.82%).

This is how you described the path:

it is a clearly defined dirt path that looks well-travelled.. there are some sticks and rocks on it, but not too much in the way. the path is clear..i can see pretty far down it.

Adolescence is represented by the path through the forest. Lots of obstructions on the path indicate many problems during adolescence (37.74%). The strong evidence of fellow travelers tells us that the subject received a lot of support from friends and family during that potentially troubling time (59.06%). Poor visibility of the path tells us the subject was often confused by the changes brought on by adolescence (52.85%). A wide path indicates that the subject had numerous options for emotional growth at this time (68.04%).

This is how you described the water:

it is a large, very clear pond.. the water is gently flowing. i can see down into it and it looks shallow at the end but deep in the middle

The water is the subject’s sexuality. What interests us here is the clarity of the water (representing attitude) and its movement (representing libido). Murky, dirty, or otherwise unclear water suggests that the subject has significant issues regarding sex (88.95%). The presence of life in or around the water indicates a strong desire for children (83.54%). The movement of the water suggests a normal, average if somewhat playful sex drive (99.83%).

When you came to the water, you crossed it.

The subject is open to new sexual experiences.

This is how you described the cup:

it is a very shiny tin cup with a handle. it is the size of a coffee cup. it is empty.

The vessel, or specifically the practicality of the vessel, is how the subject approaches marriage or bonding. That the container is refuse or damaged suggests a cynicism about the institution (54.47%).

You took the cup and filled it.

The subject is interested in marriage, and sex will be a significant part of that relationship.

This is how you described the key:

it is a brass, old-fashioned looking key. it is about 6 inches long and kind of heavy since it is solid brass.

The key is the ideal career for the subject. What interests us here is how the key appears (representing how others view the career) and what it may open (representing the subject’s goals for the career). Decorative keys suggest that the subject wants an attention-grabbing, one-of-a-kind career (46.44%). Note that the subject is confused about the purpose of the key: the subject has no discernible goals when it comes to a career (37.25%).

You avoided the bear.

In a crisis, the subject prefers the indirect, non-confrontational approach.

When you came to the wall, you tried to go around it.

The wall represents death: by trying to walk around it, the subject shows an acknowledgment of death, but also a need for an alternative to its finality, such as an afterlife or reincarnation.
