Analysis for D, 31 March 2008

This is how you described the room:

It is a small room, with a view overlooking the harbour. It seems to be an attic. It is fairly chilly, but the sun shine is slowly warming it up. there is a wooden bed, a wooden closet and a desk, the rest is bare.

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 (95.62%). An uncomfortable room suggests a childhood that was devoid of happiness (83.80%).

You wanted to leave the room.

The subject wanted to become an adult.

This is how you described the forest:

The forest is bright and airy. There is lots of space between the trees. They are mainly old oaks, covered in moss. the ground is fairly clear, and there is a great smell in the air. However, there are parts of the forest that are dark and gloomy, mainly filled with pine trees, with a heavy gloomy atmosphere.

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 (88.37%). Tall trees imply that the adults had a strong influence on the subject (99.58%).

This is how you described the path:

The path is easily navigated, however, it is almost abandoned. It is barely visible, and very narrow.

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 (98.55%). Poor visibility of the path tells us the subject was often confused by the changes brought on by adolescence (92.11%). The lack of evidence of fellow travelers suggests strong feelings of isolation at that time (99.46%). That the path is free of obstructions indicates that the subject had no problems during adolescence (87.14%).

This is how you described the water:

It arrives at a brook. There are trees either side, with rocks strewn around the water. the water is clear and pure. The water is moving at a sedate pace. There is a moss covered tree taht has fallen across the brook some time ago.

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%). The movement of the water suggests a normal, average if somewhat playful sex drive (94.59%).

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 is a metal goblet, encrusted with saffires and rubys.

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 (93.23%).

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:

It is an old fashioned metal key, large and heavy. It unlocks a padlock.

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 (97.24%). Old-fashioned keys suggest that the subject desires a traditional career (98.38%).

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.
