On your walk, you run into a forest creature.
Describe the animal you envision. What species is it? How big is it? How dangerous is it?
As you approach the animal, what does it do?
After your encounter with the animal, you continue on your way.
You arrive at a clearing in the forest. In the clearing is a house.
Describe the house and it's setting.
You go up to the door and you find the door ajar.
Through the door, you can see a table. Describe what you see on the table.
On the table, there's a cup.
Describe the cup. What kind of cup is it? How hefty is it? What is it made out of?
After you leave the yard, you find yourself at the edge of a body of water.
What kind of a body is it? A stream? A lake? Describe the body of water.
There is no way to continue on your journey without crossing the water.
How wet do you get?
Now let's go through your answers and infer some potential meaning:
- The person with you is the most important person in your life. If you are alone, you are probably a loner.
- The size and ferocity of the animal casts light on how big you feel your personal problems are.
- How you interact with it says something about your demeanor, about how aggressive you are or how peaceful.
- A big house may indicate ambition. A fence around the house can indicate a more closed, defensive personality. An open yard can indicate a more open personality.
- If the table had food, people or flowers, you are probably a happy person.
- The description of the cup may cast light on your relationship to the person with you. The more durable the material, the more solid the relationship.
- The body of water cast light on your sex drive.
- How wet you get is a euphemism for how important sex is to you.
