Analysis for Patrycja, 23 April 2007

This is how you described the room:

The room is gray, cold and spacious. It has barely any furnishings, no decorations. The light is very very bright, coming from a big window.

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. Few, simple furnishings tells us that the subject has few memories of that time (92.44%). An uncomfortable room suggests a childhood that was devoid of happiness (95.60%).

You wanted to leave the room.

The subject wanted to become an adult.

This is how you described the forest:

The forest is very dark, the trees are extremely tall, there's no daylight coming through the leaves.

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 (51.61%). Tall trees imply that the adults had a strong influence on the subject (95.33%).

This is how you described the path:

The path is barely visible, it's verry narrow and scarry. There are no human beings nor animals.

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 (99.54%). Poor visibility of the path tells us the subject was often confused by the changes brought on by adolescence (98.91%). The lack of evidence of fellow travelers suggests strong feelings of isolation at that time (98.10%). That the path is free of obstructions indicates that the subject had no problems during adolescence (57.29%).

This is how you described the water:

Cold, mystic river this is. It's rather narrow but wide somehow. It seems it's impossible to get to the other shore.

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 (99.32%). The movement of the water suggests a normal, average if somewhat playful sex drive (55.26%).

When you came to the water, you crossed it.

The subject is open to new sexual experiences.

This is how you described the cup:

It's a gray aluminium mug. Cold and dirty.

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 (77.60%).

You left the cup behind.

The subject is not interested in marriage.

This is how you described the key:

it's an old big key. It might unlock a large old gate.

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 (99.27%). Old-fashioned keys suggest that the subject desires a traditional career (99.44%).

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.
