Analysis for Cin, 11 January 2006

This is how you described the room:

The room is a turret. It is an octogon shape. Only one wall is a wall. The rest are windows and look out over an urban landscape with an ocean in the distant. It is rather high up and warm as it faces east and the sun is rising filling the room with a rosy glow. There is a large comfortable bed, and window seats for storage. The floor is bare, covered with terracotta tiles.

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. The significant detail in the description of the room tells us that the subject has rich, lasting memories of childhood (58.70%). This comfortable room suggests a childhood that was pleasant (99.16%).

You wanted to stay in the room.

The subject did not want to grow up.

This is how you described the forest:

It is a decidious forest and the season is Autumn. It is mid-day and light shines through the red, yellow and orange trees.

The forest is growing up, and the trees are those adults with whom the subject interacted at that time. Average lighting tells us that the subject received enough attention from the adults to be guided but not oppressed (54.98%). Average-sized trees imply the normal influence adults have on a child: neither insignificant nor impressive (97.84%).

This is how you described the path:

The path is fairly wide but there are graduations in levels, and stumps and small boulders to climb over. It appears to be travelled rarely.

Adolescence is represented by the path through the forest. A wide path indicates that the subject had numerous options for emotional growth at this time (60.63%). The visibility of the path tells us that the subject had a good idea of what to expect from adolescence (77.63%). The lack of evidence of fellow travelers suggests strong feelings of isolation at that time (78.16%). That the path is free of obstructions indicates that the subject had no problems during adolescence (62.42%).

This is how you described the water:

It is a rushing stream. Through the blue clear water I can see the rock bottom. The rocks are about the size of eggs, fairly uniform and green and blue in color. The water is cold.

The water is the subject’s sexuality. What interests us here is the clarity of the water (representing attitude) and its movement (representing libido). Clear water tells us that the subject has no issues regarding sex (100.00%). The movement of the water suggests a normal, average if somewhat playful sex drive (63.60%).

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 metal chalice, and looks very old. The metal is rough, as though it was hammered into shape, and copper colored. Inset into the chalice are small glass beads of ruby, topaz, and emerald. On the base I see the initials of my name are carved.

The vessel, or specifically the practicality of the vessel, is how the subject approaches marriage or bonding. A container that is both decorative and practical indicates that the subject considers both romantic and pragmatic aspects of marriage (71.48%).

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:

A large mahogany chest covered in carvings.

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). Keys that allow access to treasure or other valuable things indicate that the subject is fixated on gaining wealth through a career (45.99%). Decorative keys suggest that the subject wants an attention-grabbing, one-of-a-kind career (59.09%).

You confronted the bear.

In a crisis, the subject prefers the direct, no-nonsense approach.

When you came to the wall, you jumped over it.

The wall represents death: by jumping over it, the subject not only acknowledges death but has come to accept its finality.
