Provisional Analysis for Anonymous, 11 March 2008

This is how you described the room:

I wake up and the yellow vibrant walls echo with familiarity. The warmth of the soft carpet on my feet makes me feel at home. The red couch across from me has beautiful elegant pillows with the morning sunlight flashing off of the designs, and heating the room

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 (41.14%). The depth of description tells us that the subject has strong memories of childhood (27.31%).

You wanted to leave the room.

The subject wanted to become an adult.

This is how you described the forest:

The forest is deep and full. The tall redwood trees remain intact and over one hundred feet tall. The dpth of the forest makes it seem intimidating from a distance. However with the rays of light peeking between the monstrous trees the forest has a feeling of joy and life.

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 (28.24%). Tall trees imply that the adults had a strong influence on the subject (52.71%).

This is how you described the path:

The path has no stones. The wild field of grass leading to the forest has blades six feet tall. The walls of grass surround you on each side. There is no difficulty continuing along the path even though there are small sticks and fallen blades of grass trampled down by the constant flow of traffic

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 (60.14%). The lack of evidence of fellow travelers suggests strong feelings of isolation at that time (58.15%). The visibility of the path tells us that the subject had a good idea of what to expect from adolescence (53.12%). A narrow path suggests that the subject had limited options for emotional growth at this time (67.80%).

This is how you described the water:

The river moves quickly and gains depth. The The river is filled with downed tree branches as the forest grew further and further decrepid along the journey. The beautiful blue water looks good enough to bend over and take a drink

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 (89.53%). The movement of the water suggests a normal, average if somewhat playful sex drive (32.64%).

When you came to the water, you crossed it.

The subject is open to new sexual experiences.

This is how you described the cup:

The metal flask laying next to the river looks new and in mint condition. The sleek smooth flask has the aroma of whiskey coming from the top. The dark metallic shine looks like a jaguar in the sunlight

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 (62.72%).

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 a long skinny golden skeleton key. The rust is beginning to engulf the handle. The key looks as though it would open a treasure chest with spanish gold filling it to the brim.

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 (46.00%). Having the key open a house, car, or other commonplace use tells us that the subject has no extraordinary expectations about a career (53.98%).

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.
