Analysis for k.cabrera, 11 May 2007

This is how you described the room:

It is a warm room because the sun is shining through all of the windows in the room. All of the windows are open and everything in the room is white-the bedding (which is what I am laying in) is white and it is a really big, high bed. The floor is hard wood and the walls are a comforting color-like a beige. There are a couple of peices of art hanging on the walls.

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 (90.66%). This comfortable room suggests a childhood that was pleasant (99.98%).

You wanted to stay in the room.

The subject did not want to grow up.

This is how you described the forest:

The forest is bright. The trees are really tall and there are alot of them. The foliage on the trees does not start until very high up, so I can see through the tree trunks all the way through the forest.

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 (58.59%). Tall trees imply that the adults had a strong influence on the subject (99.38%).

This is how you described the path:

The path is very clear. There are not many obstructions. The path is not to wide and it is not to narrow, just a normal sized path. It seems as if the path is well travelled but I am one of the only people on the path at the exact time that I am there.

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 (99.61%). Poor visibility of the path tells us the subject was often confused by the changes brought on by adolescence (92.05%). The lack of evidence of fellow travelers suggests strong feelings of isolation at that time (99.28%). 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:

The water is a rushing river. It is very wide and it is flowing very fast. There are rocks in it, but I cannot see them except for the way the water flows through and over the rocks. The water is the "white wash" of the rushing river.

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 (98.82%).

When you came to the water, you crossed it.

The subject is open to new sexual experiences.

This is how you described the cup:

The cup is a metal camping cup. It is silver and it is a thin material where the liquid in it could get really hot with the sun light or really cool in the shade.

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 (99.01%).

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:

The key is a small little silver key with a black square at the end of the key. It looks exactly like the key to my bike and I think that it might unlock someone elses bike. It is two toned as if it has been widely used or maybe slightly rusted.

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 (100.00%). An ordinary-looking key suggests that the subject desires a nondescript career (96.19%).

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.
