Provisional Analysis for Silvrfireblkrain, 29 January 2006

This is how you described the room:

the room is cold. but somehow i don't think it has anything to do with the temperature, i think it has to do with the memories connected with the room. there is a bed on a wall close to the door. there are sheets, blankets, pillowcases, and a comforter with brightly coloured flowers on them. nest to the bed is a mauve/beige coloured dresser, three drawers on either side. the dresser is covered in knick knacks of sorts. next to the dresser is a desk, more beige than anything else. on it is a computer. on the wall opposite the bed is a window. there are beige curtains hanging there. the oppostie wall from the desk and dresser is a chest of drawers, four in all. on top of that is a television. right next to the chest of drawers is a closet. finally on the other side of the closet is the door. it's open, and being held open by a ceramic flower doorstopper. all along the top of the walls is a wallpaper border, it has books and flowers on it. the walls are painted purple. there are ridiculous pictures on the wall, as well as decorative plates. the room is meant to be for an 11 year old, but is really for an old lady. this room holds bad memories.

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. This comfortable room suggests a childhood that was pleasant (41.27%). The depth of description tells us that the subject has strong memories of childhood (26.97%).

You wanted to leave the room.

The subject wanted to become an adult.

This is how you described the forest:

there are pine trees, oak trees, a few weeping willows at the very edge of the forrest. there is spanish moss hanging down, and it seems inviting. it seems dark enough to be cool, and inviting.

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 (27.94%). Tall trees imply that the adults had a strong influence on the subject (53.51%).

This is how you described the path:

the path is well marked, there are no obstacles in the way. it has been traveled seldom, but is easy to pick up. it's wide, and seems like a pretty straight shot. there may be a turn up ahead though.

Adolescence is represented by the path through the forest. That the path is free of obstructions indicates that the subject had no problems during adolescence (59.63%). The lack of evidence of fellow travelers suggests strong feelings of isolation at that time (59.07%). The visibility of the path tells us that the subject had a good idea of what to expect from adolescence (52.17%). A narrow path suggests that the subject had limited options for emotional growth at this time (69.06%).

This is how you described the water:

the water is crystal clear, a running stream. it looks as if there are places where it gets to be deeper, but mostly it is only about six inches deep. i can see minnows and small fish, as well as gravel at the bottom. the water itself looks to be fresh and clean, most likely cool, and good to drink. i bet it would taste like diamonds.

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 (88.53%). The movement of the water suggests a normal, average if somewhat playful sex drive (31.18%).

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 dull silver colour, and looks to be tarnished. there seems to be what appears to be a demon, or the devil etched into the silver. when it is turned over, there is an angel on the other side. the cork for the flask is wings and horns mingled, looking peaceful together.

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 (63.74%).

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 big and old fashioned. it only has three prongs, and is red and brown from rust, age, and years of wear. it looks like a skeleton key. it probably opens an old trunk, a dungeon door, or an attic 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). Old-fashioned keys suggest that the subject desires a traditional career (44.90%). Having the key open a house, car, or other commonplace use tells us that the subject has no extraordinary expectations about a career (53.59%).

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.
