Analysis for K-Pro, 23 May 2007

This is how you described the room:

The room is cold because there is nothing like the feeling of waking up in a cold room under warm blankets. Having the room cold also keeps the pillows nice and cool and that is the optimum temperature for a pillow. In the room is a queen-sized bed, two end-tables and a dresser. Above the dresser is a large mirror in which I can see myself reflected. There is a window and the vertical blinds are gently swaying with the breeze because it is open. There is a picture of Optimus Prime on one wall, and a second picture on the othe rwall is of a Lamborghini Mucilago

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 (98.41%). This comfortable room suggests a childhood that was pleasant (99.03%).

You wanted to stay in the room.

The subject did not want to grow up.

This is how you described the forest:

I am in a large, old-growth forest. The trees are extremely tall, reaching up into the sky and blocking out the sun save for in the very center of the trail. Because the trees are so big and tall, smaller plants are scarce. The ground is littered with branches that have fallen from the trees over the course of years of storms and windy days. Animal sounds come from everywhere around me, though i cannot see any at the moment. I hear a stream trickling somewhere in the distance, but can't tell what direction it is coming from.

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 (99.40%). Tall trees imply that the adults had a strong influence on the subject (99.96%).

This is how you described the path:

The path through this forest is clearly marked, though there is some doubt as to how often it has been travlled of late. Here and there branches obstruct the path which i either need to step over or around, or in some cases move aside. The path is wide enough to navigate comfortably and I can stretch my arms out on both sides as I do so. The ground on the path is compressed as though it was used a lot at some point in th epast while the ground to either side is springier.

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 (59.01%). The visibility of the path tells us that the subject had a good idea of what to expect from adolescence (72.89%). The lack of evidence of fellow travelers suggests strong feelings of isolation at that time (99.88%). That plants are the major source of obstructions tells us that the subject’s problems arose mostly from interactions with adults (99.96%).

This is how you described the water:

The path leads directly up to a rushing river. The water is moving swiftly and is doptted with rocks sticking up through the rushing surface and creating static waves and ripples. The sided of the river are high and washed away, as though this river has swollen to much higher levels in the recent past. As I watch, small trees and branches are wached down and sometimes washed to either side of the river where they stay.

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 (99.96%). Fast-moving water indicates a strong, active sex drive (80.18%).

When you came to the water, you went around it.

The subject is not interested in new sexual experiences.

This is how you described the cup:

Someone has left a large golden cup on the side of the river. The cup is not really gold, but is painted ceramic made to look like a mug of old. The cup has what are clearly fake ornamental stones glued to the outside as if to make it appear to be a piece of ancient treasure. To my eye it appears to be something tha tone would make in a High School arts class and appears very out of place beside the river.

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 (79.58%).

You left the cup behind.

The subject is not interested in marriage.

This is how you described the key:

The Key is small and silver in color. At the top of the key is a well worn hole, leading me to believe the key was carried around on a keychain for many a year. The teeth of the key are well worn and look like they have opened the lock that they go with many times over the course of many years. I somehow have the feeling that this key will open some sort of a padlock on a gate or 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 (100.00%). An ordinary-looking key suggests that the subject desires a nondescript career (57.48%).

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.
