Analysis for Anonymous, 8 April 2007

This is how you described the room:

its very warm and cozy with lots of pictures and blue decorations and a huge bed

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 items in the room are average, which tells us that the subject has the normal memories of childhood (59.19%). This comfortable room suggests a childhood that was pleasant (93.09%).

You wanted to leave the room.

The subject wanted to become an adult.

This is how you described the forest:

the forest is full of trees, i am totally surrounded by them, they are very very tall, if i look up i can barely see the sky because the trees cover everything, it is very dark. The tree trunks have various shades of browns, very rough, no flowers, only grass and trees.

The forest is growing up, and the trees are those adults with whom the subject interacted at that time. A semi-dark forest tells us that the subject felt somewhat oppressed by the attention the adults gave (96.90%). Tall trees imply that the adults had a strong influence on the subject (98.57%).

This is how you described the path:

the path is very narrow and i can barely walk becouse of all of the branches and leaves. There are too many trees around so it is very complicated to decide where the path goes, very abandoned

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 (99.99%). Poor visibility of the path tells us the subject was often confused by the changes brought on by adolescence (99.98%). The lack of evidence of fellow travelers suggests strong feelings of isolation at that time (99.90%). That the path is free of obstructions indicates that the subject had no problems during adolescence (69.36%).

This is how you described the water:

it is a large pond, the water is clear, it seems to be quite shallow but as i get in i find out that it keeps on becoming deeper and deeper, to a point that i cant touch the floor.

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 (99.91%). The movement of the water suggests a normal, average if somewhat playful sex drive (69.84%).

When you came to the water, you crossed it.

The subject is open to new sexual experiences.

This is how you described the cup:

I can not find a vessel

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 (44.56%).

You took the cup but left it empty.

The subject is interested in marriage, but sex won’t be a significant part of that relationship.

This is how you described the key:

the key is golden but it is full of dirt, very big and heavy, it probably opens some old chest

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 (94.18%). Old-fashioned keys suggest that the subject desires a traditional career (95.63%).

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.
