Analysis for aj, 4 March 2008

This is how you described the room:

A room in a cabin. old furnishings, one window where I can look out and see a mountain. Beautiful day sunny and warm.

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 significant detail in the description of the room tells us that the subject has rich, lasting memories of childhood (49.50%). This comfortable room suggests a childhood that was pleasant (96.56%).

You wanted to stay in the room.

The subject did not want to grow up.

This is how you described the forest:

Bright morning refreshing. pine trees and quacking aspen. shadows and sun shine.

The forest is growing up, and the trees are those adults with whom the subject interacted at that time. That the forest is very bright tells us that the subject had extensive freedom while growing up (85.57%). Tall trees imply that the adults had a strong influence on the subject (50.38%).

This is how you described the path:

well worn trail. deer tracks in the trail, winds through the trees easy to follow

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 (97.43%). The visibility of the path tells us that the subject had a good idea of what to expect from adolescence (67.97%). 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 (69.77%). That the path is free of obstructions indicates that the subject had no problems during adolescence (98.76%).

This is how you described the water:

Small clear stream. I find a cup, clean it and drink from the stream.

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 (99.89%). The movement of the water suggests a normal, average if somewhat playful sex drive (69.40%).

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 metal cup with a handle. nice and sturdy looks new

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 (88.21%).

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:

skeleton key old, a treasure chest. Or a cabin door.

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). Keys that allow access to treasure or other valuable things indicate that the subject is fixated on gaining wealth through a career (56.42%). Old-fashioned keys suggest that the subject desires a traditional career (99.29%).

You avoided the bear.

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