Analysis for Monique from Montana, 27 March 2006

This is how you described the room:

The Room is cozy with a warm fireplace and nicely lit candles. As well as some beautiful tapestrys and picture windows with flowing curtains(more for decaration and art than cover. The room has blue walls and a white celling with comfortable grayish blue carpet and brick around the fireplace. the air is scented with insence and the smell of warm rain freshly meeting the outside ground. Its a lovely room that has a few pieces of art and sculptures. As well it has a table and a bookshelf with books and games on it. their is a rug in front of the firelace to cozy up to a good book.. there are pictures of family and friends as well and a couch. not over crouded.

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 (54.51%). This comfortable room suggests a childhood that was pleasant (100.00%).

You wanted to leave the room.

The subject wanted to become an adult.

This is how you described the forest:

It is a beautiful forest with lots of fresh smells and large trees the air is clean and new. The trees are weeping willows, Oak, pines, cotton wood, and lots of other kinds. They are not dark they are mild and provide shade from the hot sun. Its a beautiful place to go.

The forest is growing up, and the trees are those adults with whom the subject interacted at that time. A well-lit forest tells us that the subject had considerable freedom at this time (57.68%). Average-sized trees imply the normal influence adults have on a child: neither insignificant nor impressive (75.88%).

This is how you described the path:

There is a large path that say 4 people could walk side by side down. Its a pretty straight path without much ups or downs. There is a stream ahead I think. The trees are a canopy that shades me from the sun as I walk down towards the stream. It is a grassy path that hasnd been overly used and has been kept clean from litter and other unnatural objects.

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 (97.88%). The visibility of the path tells us that the subject had a good idea of what to expect from adolescence (100.00%). The lack of evidence of fellow travelers suggests strong feelings of isolation at that time (93.02%). That the path is free of obstructions indicates that the subject had no problems during adolescence (99.99%).

This is how you described the water:

I would call the water a creek, an awesomely live creek, fresh from the mountians sides, with green moss and little fish swimming in the holes. It has stones creating little waterfalls and hiding places for animals. The water is cool and refreshing to the touch it is clean water for sure. clean enough to drink i would say.

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 (99.67%). The presence of life in or around the water indicates a strong desire for children (93.32%).

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 wooden gourd made from an unknown kind of wood. Its beautiful and has been handcrafted by an artist of great vision.

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 (95.60%).

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:

Its a skeleton key like the ones that open old doors and chests.

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 (86.25%). Old-fashioned keys suggest that the subject desires a traditional career (98.33%).

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.
