Analysis for metallicfrog84, 22 January 2006

This is how you described the room:

It is a large room with purple walls, a black floor and a white ceiling. The room is a comfortable temperature. There are 3 large windows and a circular door with a square knob. From the windows are hung large, thick, black curtains. Hanging on the walls are large glowing dragons.

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 depth of description tells us that the subject has strong memories of childhood (74.27%). This comfortable room suggests a childhood that was pleasant (97.85%).

You wanted to stay in the room.

The subject did not want to grow up.

This is how you described the forest:

The forest is pitch black... I can barely see two feet in front of my face. I have no idea what kind of trees these are........

The forest is growing up, and the trees are those adults with whom the subject interacted at that time. A very dark forest tells us that the subject felt considerably oppressed by the attentions of the adults (94.79%). Small trees imply that the adults had a weak influence on the subject (62.34%).

This is how you described the path:

The path I am on is barely noticable because it is so dark. There are many large rocks on my way and I constantly search them out with my feet. It appears that nobody has been on this trail for many years.

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 (98.64%). Poor visibility of the path tells us the subject was often confused by the changes brought on by adolescence (99.90%). The lack of evidence of fellow travelers suggests strong feelings of isolation at that time (99.73%). That plants are the major source of obstructions tells us that the subject’s problems arose mostly from interactions with adults (98.76%).

This is how you described the water:

The water looks like a plate of solid black glass. There is not a ripple in the river until I gently slide my feet into it. The water is refreshingly cool and I immediately relax my entire body as I enjoy its coolness.

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 (99.89%). Slow, gently moving water suggests a passive, restrained, calm sex drive (49.36%).

When you came to the water, you crossed it.

The subject is open to new sexual experiences.

This is how you described the cup:

There is a small shine in the grass and I see someone has left behind a small silver flask. It is engraved with symbols which I cannot decode. I put it in my pocket in case I find farther use for it later... I open it to find it half full with a potent smelling liquor.

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 (99.31%).

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:

The key I find on the path is a small gold and silver key. The top of the key is a set of double hearts: one silver and one gold. One can only image the value of this key. I bet it would open the lock which is restraining my true love...

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 (90.96%). An ordinary-looking key suggests that the subject desires a nondescript career (87.40%).

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.
