Provisional Analysis for umber, 27 March 2008

This is how you described the room:

It is warm. Walls are colored light blue with yellow flowers and green bed. the floor is made of glass. there is a transparent computer and a very cool table for that. the curtains are red. my computer table has two horses on it and are of black color. there is a horse painting on the top of my bed and right now it is staring at me. i feel scared and nervous because the horse might eat me. oh sorry i forgot i am not grass. Last but not the least, i can see three fishes lying on my bed. one of them just snored. hehe:)

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 (40.98%). The depth of description tells us that the subject has strong memories of childhood (27.07%).

You wanted to stay in the room.

The subject did not want to grow up.

This is how you described the forest:

i saw a painting yesterday, so right now it is coming in my mind. it has a path in the middle and i am walking on it. there are green trees around and right now it is nighttime. i feel sleepy. bye! and there is yellow grass around me so i feel like puking.

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 (28.19%). Tall trees imply that the adults had a strong influence on the subject (54.45%).

This is how you described the path:

Its clearly marked. Its abandoned and its wide. also its easily navigated. Byee!

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 (59.12%). The lack of evidence of fellow travelers suggests strong feelings of isolation at that time (59.02%). The visibility of the path tells us that the subject had a good idea of what to expect from adolescence (51.60%). A narrow path suggests that the subject had limited options for emotional growth at this time (69.11%).

This is how you described the water:

it is rushing. i feel great. i feel like a am peeing. it is cold and i just touched it, whereas, it is a little greenish. i think there are trees growing in it.

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 (89.52%). The movement of the water suggests a normal, average if somewhat playful sex drive (32.09%).

When you came to the water, you crossed it.

The subject is open to new sexual experiences.

This is how you described the cup:

i am going to drink the liquid in this cup. i feel it's a hot cup of hot chocolate. it is red colored with two horses on it. one resembles to my older sister. and one i think is just like me. don't u think so?

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 (63.01%).

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 a key with a horse toy hanging. it's gold key. i think it unlocks the door to my future.

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 (46.32%). Having the key open a house, car, or other commonplace use tells us that the subject has no extraordinary expectations about a career (54.30%).

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.
