Analysis for Rizi Hinomegami, 3 May 2006

This is how you described the room:

The walls are pink, the carpet blue. The bed is strewn with stuffed animals and a large television is directly opposite the bed, remote contol just in reach. The closet door is closed. The occasional piece of clothing is on the floor and a vanity is covered in makeup items. Videogame systems are near the television.

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 (89.79%). This comfortable room suggests a childhood that was pleasant (59.64%).

You wanted to stay in the room.

The subject did not want to grow up.

This is how you described the forest:

Light shines brightly through the branches, which are just within my reach. The trees are healthy and vibrant, full of life, and the grass is warm and inviting. Everything smells of rain.

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 (73.83%). Tall trees imply that the adults had a strong influence on the subject (93.06%).

This is how you described the path:

The path is made of brown gravel and is so odd that it could nearly be natural if not for its composition. It is extremely wide, nearly undone by traveling feet, but still neat and easy to follow.

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 (98.95%). The visibility of the path tells us that the subject had a good idea of what to expect from adolescence (97.84%). 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 (69.40%). That the path is free of obstructions indicates that the subject had no problems during adolescence (99.80%).

This is how you described the water:

The water is a small creek, similar to one that used to flow behind my childhood home. The water is calm, clear, and shallow, bottomed with dark, smooth rocks. The current is only visible in the shallowest spots and there are some larger rocks that act as stepping stones.

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 (97.50%).

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 wine glass, crystal clear with some purple liquid still in the bottom. The lip is chipped in one area where the vessel was dropped ontothe banks.

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 (53.01%).

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 is a skeleton key on a ring, but its companions are gone. It is made of cold grey metal and is extremely clean, probably left by the owner of the glass. It probably unlocks the door to a basement or attic of a well-kept home.

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 (99.97%). Old-fashioned keys suggest that the subject desires a traditional career (93.99%).

You avoided the bear.

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