Analysis for luswart, 6 March 2006

This is how you described the room:

I awoke one morning in an odd yet familiar room. It's warmth circled me. The rough hewn wood furniture added natural beauty to its rugged usefulness. The pine green window curtains stirred restlessly in the summer breeze. The red cedar walls and floor felt smooth to the touch and added a distinct clean smell to the room.

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 (48.39%). This comfortable room suggests a childhood that was pleasant (92.66%).

You wanted to stay in the room.

The subject did not want to grow up.

This is how you described the forest:

The trees grew close together as though to support each other in their lofty climb to the heavens. The lodgepole pine merged with blue spruce to out number the red cedar trees. The sunlight sought to reach the forest floor leaving shafts of sunlight to show their progress. The bright shafts filtered down to a path that wandered amoungst the tall 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 (99.32%). Average-sized trees imply the normal influence adults have on a child: neither insignificant nor impressive (55.58%).

This is how you described the path:

The path seemed to cling to the sunlight where it filtered through the trees. It broadened in the sunlight areas and narrowed in the dark recesses as thought to quickly get through these dark spots. The path was clearly marked as it wove its tempting magic through the age old forest.

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 (97.86%). Poor visibility of the path tells us the subject was often confused by the changes brought on by adolescence (81.72%). The lack of evidence of fellow travelers suggests strong feelings of isolation at that time (67.90%). That plants are the major source of obstructions tells us that the subject’s problems arose mostly from interactions with adults (95.37%).

This is how you described the water:

The path led to the crystal clear pool of water at the base of the cascading water fall. The creek laughed and gurgled on it's merry way beneath the falls. Fish could be seen darting in and out of the shadows of the boulders.

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%). Fast-moving water indicates a strong, active sex drive (89.92%). The presence of life in or around the water indicates a strong desire for children (95.38%).

When you came to the water, you crossed it.

The subject is open to new sexual experiences.

This is how you described the cup:

A bright metal dipping cup reflected the sunlight off its slightly dented surface. Three rings circled the cup and its wide handle made for easy gripping for dipping into the fresh 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 (99.95%).

You left the cup behind.

The subject is not interested in marriage.

This is how you described the key:

The skeleton key had a cross encircled in a circle on the top. Its long tubal shaft ended in two flat surfaces seperated by a brief gap.

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 (61.70%). Old-fashioned keys suggest that the subject desires a traditional career (97.82%).

You avoided the bear.

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

When you came to the wall, you turned around and walked back along the path.

The wall represents death: by avoiding it altogether, the subject shows complete denial about the possibility of death.
