  • 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.
