Analysis for Carol Miller, 20 January 2006

This is how you described the room:

Floor to ceiling windows allow light to flood in onto the wood floor. Beautiful wooded mountains draw the eye. The bed is in muted colors, the sheets rumpled. The ceiling is high, and the furniture is uncluttered.

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 (48.49%). This comfortable room suggests a childhood that was pleasant (62.63%).

You wanted to stay in the room.

The subject did not want to grow up.

This is how you described the forest:

Tall trees with gorgeous trunks create a thick canopy overhead that keep undergrowth to a minimum. Ferns and moss give a soft, green glow, and the air is clean and cool.

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 (72.87%). Average-sized trees imply the normal influence adults have on a child: neither insignificant nor impressive (68.23%).

This is how you described the path:

The trail is clear, yet winds a lot, and disappears up and down hills and cliffs.

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 (94.53%). The visibility of the path tells us that the subject had a good idea of what to expect from adolescence (86.63%). 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 (90.30%). That the path is free of obstructions indicates that the subject had no problems during adolescence (69.33%).

This is how you described the water:

The water has an almost irredescent quality, and flows over smooth rocks, creating gentle waterfalls. Plants thrive on the river's edge.

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 (99.22%). Fast-moving water indicates a strong, active sex drive (54.03%).

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 water bottle is unopened and fresh. No one is about, or within ear shot. After waiting a while, I take it and enjoy the clean water.

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 (97.75%).

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's ornate, an old fashioned one that looks like it goes to a huge wooden door. Probably an old estate with ivy growing on it. Or perhaps a secret garden.

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 (100.00%). Old-fashioned keys suggest that the subject desires a traditional career (99.99%).

You avoided the bear.

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