The Story

(The interpretation)

Section 01

You are traveling on a boat. There is a terrible storm and the boat starts sinking. You are thrown into thewater and lose consciousness. When you next open your eyes, you’re lying on the beach of a small island.

the island = where in the world you would ideally like to live. Did you see palm trees and tropicalvegetation? Was it hot? If so, you’d probably like to live in a warm, tropical climate, etc.

Section 02

You get up and discover that you aren’t injured. Describe what you are wearing

the clothes = how you feel about style. The more elaborate the clothes you describe, the more important outward appearances are to you.

Section 03

What do you decide to do first?

• Look for other possible survivors? • Look for food or water? • Make a shelter or fire?

actions = the action you do first shows what your priorities are in life, e.g., if you decide to look for other survivors, this probably means that you’re a caringperson who tends to think of other people. If you choose to look for food or water first, this could mean that you’re someone who is quite independent. If you decide to make a shelter or fire, it may mean that you’re a practical person who tries to solve problems in a logical way.

Section 04

You walk up a nearby hill and you can see that there is a clearing in the middle of the island and what looks like water. You decide to try and find the clearing, but to get there, you need to walk through a forest.

the forest = the way you see life. If the forest is easy to get through and there’s a clear path, then this could mean that your life is well-planned andorganized. You know exactly what you want to do and how to achieve it. If there’s no path marked and you have to cut your way through the vegetation to make one, this could indicate that you are a person who sees life as a mystery and you live each day as it unfolds. The darker the forest is, the more negative you feel about the way your life is going.

Section 05

You reach the middle of the island and you see a house. You look through the windows

the house = what you expect from life. If you describe a very simple, basic house, this could mean that your needs in life are equally simple. If you describe a big, luxurious house, this probably means that you would like to have a more extravagant life style

Section 06

You continue walking until you come to a lake. Describe the lake and what you do, and why.

the lake = your attitude to love and relationships. If you walk around the lake but don’t go into the water this could mean that you are not ready to commit yourself in a relationship. If you go into the lake, this could show the way you deal with new relationships.Do you jump in head first (you’re a risk taker) or do you walk into the lake very slowly and carefully?
