Now you have had a break, go back to every question and look at your response. Try and find what you feel that your mind presented the image it did. Explain colours you chose, textures, water, cup, solids, liquids, space, objects, people, anything and everything that you wrote from your projected image, try and find what you feel to why you have that image. Don't look hard at things, instead try and look for the easy answers, as they are often the correct one's. Don't attempt to find something that isn't present, just look at each aspect for its absolute simplicity.

This is not an absolute, but something you must do in order to try and self analyse yourself. This is important. Please answer what you can, and simply define if you cannot find an emotion to a response you gave.


I toom a longer brake between making my image and analysing it in purpose, since I find it helpful to look at your feelings and thoughts in a while after expressing them.
I found, in general, that my image is pretty realistic and related to the previous experiences in my life.

ROAD
The road is grayish-yellow, with some black spots here and there, and with traces of green seen from time to time.
This is an apperance of a sandy road in southern Russia. This is what I first imagine when talking about the road, since I was hiking a lot in that area when was younger. The black and green spots represents small stones, if you pick them an polish then they look beautiful.

It consists of small stones and sand, most of them sharp and with angles, not as stones and sand from the sea shore.
Again, this is all normal road texture. I was thinking of a hiking at the very and of the day, just before stay for the night somewhere in the forest or in the field. Thiis road can make you tired and your feet painful, since some stones are sharp enough to be felt through you boots. I was thinking of that feeling of tiredness, when the soon relief setting a fire, cooking your food, and a night sleep is expected. I was also thinking of being in the place I like to be with people I like to be with.

It is semi-solid, I mean you can go on it easily, but sometimes your feet slip in the sand, and sometimes the sand and small stones reach the end of your boots.
I was imagining the walking on this road: you walk fast, but, since you slip back in the sand, it makes you to spend a lot of energy but to proceed slow, and sometimes to fall. I was thinking about this walking, which makes your all exausted.

RIVER
I simply walk through it
Yes. What is an easier way to go through the water? If it too deep, I can swim.

It is pure, clean, clear, and very cold. You can see straight everything on the bottom.

I am afraid of water, but not of water itself, rather of what is hiding on the bottom. In fact, it is hard to force me to go to the unclear water. I did not have experience with drowing or anything like this, but in fact sometimes have nihmares about the dirty water and dead bodies on the bottom, which appear suddenly. I do not swim in any natural bodies of water, except for if I can see the bottom and if there is someone I trust is next to me. Thus, the only water I can walk throug is clean and clear. This is cold, because I assosiate cold with clean. Example: snow or ice appear clear, and they are cold. I can see everythin on the bottom, because otherwise I will not go to this water.

It is fast, sometimes it is even hard to walk through this river.
I assosiate fast current with cleannes of water. The fast mountain rivers are clean, while marshes are full of standing water. Also, the fast-running water for me does not have too much living organisms, but rather symbolizes the life itself.

There are stones in the bottom, round and mid-size (about the size af a small apple), with some freenish water flora groing on them.
This is a usual appearance of the bottom of such river.
I was thinking of fighting with the current and an attempt to keep you balance while walking on this surface.

The house is dark-brown, with even darker roof, and gray fence.
Socu house just seems to be cozy for me. It is dark-brown because most woody houses are brown, and because I simply love dark-brown color everywhere. It does not symbolyse anything for me, just looks good. I was thinking of coziness of a house in the remote area, with this unforgettable smell of fresh wood. The roof is darker because it is exposed to the wheather the most, and covered by the protective stuff. The fence is gray because it it concrete, which is gray. I also like gray color, just because I like it. Yes, the fence is very tall, to provide adequate protection.
This is the only unrealistic picture from my imagery. Normally, the houses in remote area if Russia have small woody fences.


It is old, but kept in reasonable good condition: you can see that it is being fixed from time to time, so people could live there.
Such house is associated with life inside of it, and with work being done in oorder to keep you house in good conditions. I was thinking of people living in houses of this type, and working on them. I feel a great respect toward them. A lazy person can not survive and keep the house good. This condition indicates hard-workers.

Yes. There is a couple of village people in their early fifties living there.
I suggest that onec I am in the open field in the remote area, and see the house, I will stop there and try to talk to whoever lives there, just to find out the way somewhere and to connect with native people. I found people in their fifties the easiest ones to talk to. They are not those crazy teens, where you do not know what to expect. They are normally traditional, and think much the same way as I do and share the same values. I can not get alone with my peers, but easily find connection with people 15-20 years older.
I was thinking of being invited for a cup of tea or something, as Russians do to strangers, and a nice talk.

It is a white plastic cup.
The plastic cups on the road indicate that someone was here recently. I was feeling alerted when imagined this cup. That means, there are pther people around, and hell knows who they are.

It was used, and is dirty.
Oh, the people who through they trash in the field. Disgusting. Try not to meet with them. However, there is just one cup, so someone could lose it. At any case, be aware that I am not alone here, so pay attention and watch out. Would be nice to have my Bullmastiff with me.

The cup is empty, but contains the reminding of some strong alcoholic beverage.
Not good. Just not good. I will prepare anything I can use as a weapon in a case of attack.
I do not know why I pictured this cup. It just appeared in front of my eyes.

There is a huge pile of old trees and their branches. It is everywhere, and those trees seem to be dead, without any green leave on them, but with plenty of clearly unedible mushrooms, such as those growing on decaying trees. The trees smell like decaying trees smell. The branches go everywhere, they are dark-brown to black, and sharp.
Again, this is a normal obstacle you can meet in the nature.
I was thinking of finding the way of walking around it, or just going over it... well, I will be scratch all over in a latter case ;) The dead trees are pretty smelly, I can not call this smell bad, but it is not a smell of life. The mushroom on these trees also indicate that something died here. Those shrooms do stink. You should be careful to go over all that, since, beside beaing scratch and posisbly breaking you legs, you do not know what is hiding inside. It is scarry and disgusting. I feel lonely and scared. However, this is something I HAVE TO deal with, and something I eventually can overcome.

There is a forest, very rich, with trees of every kind and every size. That looks like no human had been in this forest yet, or only the people from the nearby village go there to hunt and to pick the trees for their fire. The forest does not have any roads, just a pure wild nature.
Here, I just assumed that whatever is behind the obstackle is what you are eventually striving to. In this case, it is a live forest, full of life, and friendly. There are nice edible mushrooms, and herbs, and berries, and everything you may need, even a shelter. I imagine this simple because I grew up in the forest, and love it. My main feeling about that was a peace, the one only a nature can bring into your soul.
