Analysis for Minnie Mouse, 19 March 2008

This is how you described the room:

The room has dark navy walls. It is slightly chilly, filled the cool air of a basement. It has one intricate red couch on the right wall, and on the adjacent wall is an old black wood stove. The room is connected to a dark green bathroom on the other side of the stove.

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 (72.71%). This room is neither comfortable nor uncomfortable; this suggests the subject had a bland, uninspiring childhood (69.90%).

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 dark, with shafts of light beaming through the leaves. It is peaceful, and quiet. There are giant pine trees everywhere, tall, but thin.

The forest is growing up, and the trees are those adults with whom the subject interacted at that time. Average lighting tells us that the subject received enough attention from the adults to be guided but not oppressed (49.31%). Tall trees imply that the adults had a strong influence on the subject (98.86%).

This is how you described the path:

The path is narrow and lighter than the forest around it. The beams of light seem to shine on it a lot. Even though the path is visible, it seems to have never been traveled down before.

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 (99.57%). Poor visibility of the path tells us the subject was often confused by the changes brought on by adolescence (79.53%). The lack of evidence of fellow travelers suggests strong feelings of isolation at that time (84.14%). That the path is free of obstructions indicates that the subject had no problems during adolescence (97.95%).

This is how you described the water:

The water is a raging river, filled with wild life. It ends in a waterfall some ways off. The water is relatively clear, with the exception of near the waterfall, where it becomes frothy white.

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 (93.13%). Rushing, violent water indicates a powerful, vigorous, and quite possibly compulsive sex drive (98.76%).

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:

There is a goblet laying in the grass, it is silver, and plainly made.

The vessel, or specifically the practicality of the vessel, is how the subject approaches marriage or bonding. A decorative container indicates that the subject views marriage as a romantic adventure (76.89%).

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 ornate and silver, much like the cup. I have the feeling it might unlock something in my mysterious room.

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 (44.55%). Decorative keys suggest that the subject wants an attention-grabbing, one-of-a-kind career (89.56%).

You confronted the bear.

In a crisis, the subject prefers the direct, no-nonsense 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.
