Provisional Analysis for Anonymous, 17 April 2009

This is how you described the room:

The room is a hotel room. It is a little bit warm. There is red carpet, and the barest of furniture, a bed and a chair, maybe a table or a desk. There is also a mirror. The walls are white.

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 (40.83%). The depth of description tells us that the subject has strong memories of childhood (27.48%).

You wanted to leave the room.

The subject wanted to become an adult.

This is how you described the forest:

The forest is rather thick and dark. It seems a little bit menacing, but there is no immediate danger to be seen. It lacks animals. It is quiet, in an unnatural kind of way. The green is a deep green. You can't see between the trees.

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 (28.00%). Tall trees imply that the adults had a strong influence on the subject (53.93%).

This is how you described the path:

The path is a plain dirt path. There are a couple of pebbles but nothing much. It leads straight through the forest. It isn't hard to follow, and it is wide enough to walk on, though it couldn't be called wide. It seems like a few people use it for walks, but it doesn't see heavy traffic. There are no markings, but it is so distinguished from the trees that it is very distinct.

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 (59.47%). The lack of evidence of fellow travelers suggests strong feelings of isolation at that time (58.74%). The visibility of the path tells us that the subject had a good idea of what to expect from adolescence (52.49%). A narrow path suggests that the subject had limited options for emotional growth at this time (70.29%).

This is how you described the water:

It is a very clear rushing stream. There are lots of rocks, and it runs very clear and very fast. It seems dangerous even though it isn't too deep, and it seems like a good place for fish.

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 (88.61%). The movement of the water suggests a normal, average if somewhat playful sex drive (31.65%).

When you came to the water, you crossed it.

The subject is open to new sexual experiences.

This is how you described the cup:

There is a flask on the ground. It is cold metal, and there is warm water inside it. It has a strap to carry it with and a lid on the top. It looks like something you'd carry for hiking or in the army.

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 (62.12%).

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 heavy and it shows signs of tarnishing. It looks like it might be some kind of copper compound. It unlocks a box somewhere that someone doesn't want opened, but they forgot about the key because the box hadn't needed to be thought about in a very long time. It hangs on a dark red-purple ribbon. The edges of the top are smooth.

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 (46.09%). Having the key open a house, car, or other commonplace use tells us that the subject has no extraordinary expectations about a career (54.88%).

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.
