Provisional Analysis for Anonymous, 21 May 2007

This is how you described the room:

The walls are made of dry wall, they are a very light blue. There is one large window opposite the door. It has no noticable temperature.

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 (41.18%). The depth of description tells us that the subject has strong memories of childhood (27.25%).

You wanted to leave the room.

The subject wanted to become an adult.

This is how you described the forest:

It is moderately bright. A mixture of ferns and gums and various species. There are no visible animals but they have presence.

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 (28.39%). Tall trees imply that the adults had a strong influence on the subject (54.80%).

This is how you described the path:

The path is thin and almost hidden. It crosses others that are more used, twisting and turning. It has steep parts and rocky parts.

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 (60.69%). The lack of evidence of fellow travelers suggests strong feelings of isolation at that time (58.23%). The visibility of the path tells us that the subject had a good idea of what to expect from adolescence (53.49%). A narrow path suggests that the subject had limited options for emotional growth at this time (67.52%).

This is how you described the water:

It's a calm, clear and moderately wide river. There are fish and rocks at the bottom.

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 (89.07%). The movement of the water suggests a normal, average if somewhat playful sex drive (31.97%).

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:

It's an old tin cup with a handle. Does not hold a large amount of water and is relatively clean

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 (62.66%).

You took the cup but left it empty.

The subject is interested in marriage, but sex won’t be a significant part of that relationship.

This is how you described the key:

It's an old key, with a single tooth at the end, used in old doors. It probably opens a door or an old padlock or chest. It was once important to someone.

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 (45.77%). Having the key open a house, car, or other commonplace use tells us that the subject has no extraordinary expectations about a career (54.55%).

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.
