Analysis for Chica X, 11 January 2006

This is how you described the room:

The room is breezy, the window was left open, It brought a bit of a chill. I am in my own bed but everything around me is diferent, there is a beautiful cherry wood dresser and vanity, and fresh flowers everywhere. Over the makeshift firplace there is a beautiful painting of the ocean at sunrise. The floor is a hardwood pine floor with a clear stain. My bed is covered in pillows, and my favorite blanket. The sun has just rose, yet there are still dark shadows in the corners, making my eye's see things that aren't there. All my knick knack's are everwhere but seem out of place.

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 (72.30%). This comfortable room suggests a childhood that was pleasant (99.82%).

You wanted to stay in the room.

The subject did not want to grow up.

This is how you described the forest:

The forest smells of pine and wood, I hear a creek nearby but cannot see it through the mass of redwood tree's and flowers. It is dark with hints of light coming down through the tops of the tree.

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 (95.76%). Tall trees imply that the adults had a strong influence on the subject (95.98%).

This is how you described the path:

The path doesn't really look like a path but for some reason I am walking along this imaginary path, I feel as if I am going in the right way, but i am not sure, I keep moving branches out of my way and step over tree's that have fallen down, probably due to age or disease. It is a narrow path indeed, it has been traveled before, but not too many times.

Adolescence is represented by the path through the forest. A narrow path suggests that the subject had limited options for emotional growth at this time (100.00%). Poor visibility of the path tells us the subject was often confused by the changes brought on by adolescence (100.00%). The lack of evidence of fellow travelers suggests strong feelings of isolation at that time (100.00%). That plants are the major source of obstructions tells us that the subject’s problems arose mostly from interactions with adults (99.82%).

This is how you described the water:

This river is a deep and scary one, It is moving so fast I don't think to cross it, I bend down to feel it, to my surprise it was warm. I then I take a closer look and see it's beauty and power, it is made of different colors of blue and green

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 (99.98%). Slow, gently moving water suggests a passive, restrained, calm sex drive (97.73%).

When you came to the water, you crossed it.

The subject is open to new sexual experiences.

This is how you described the cup:

The flask looks as if it is old, and belonged to someone, I wipe away the dirt and find the name Annie on it. It is a pretty pink cup with a few chips on it.

The vessel, or specifically the practicality of the vessel, is how the subject approaches marriage or bonding. A practical container indicates that the subject is pragmatic when it comes to questions of marriage (96.50%).

You took the cup but left it empty.

The subject is interested in marriage, but sex won’t be a significant part of that relationship.

This is how you described the key:

I find a key which looks like a skeleton key for an old haunted house, In my dreams I wish it would unlock my love's heart, but in reality, it probably open's a cabin somewhere around the area.

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). Having the key open a house, car, or other commonplace use tells us that the subject has no extraordinary expectations about a career (71.97%). Old-fashioned keys suggest that the subject desires a traditional career (99.93%).

You confronted the bear.

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