I'm reading this book called Diary by Chuck Palahniuk and there was this one diary entry chapter where the protagonist's then-boyfriend starts asking the protagonist questions as part of a psychoanalysis to determine aspects of your subconscious, as developed by Carl Jung. "Archetypes. The vast common subconscious of all humanity." I haven't heard of this test until today but apparently a quick online search for it says it's a common ice-breaker game? The questions are:

-Name a color, any color. Describe three adjectives about that color.
-Name an animal, any animal. Describe three adjectives about that animal.
-Name a body of water (ex: a lake, a pond, an ocean). Describe three adjectives about that body of water.
-Now imagine that you are in a room with white walls. It has no doors and no windows. In three words, describe how that room would make you feel if you were in it.

I think most of the fun comes from not knowing what the questions are supposed to represent. I've been getting pretty interesting answers from the three people I asked so far! Two of them being my parents. I had to omit the body of water question though because it'd be extremely awkward if they knew what the question represented.

Also, I had a dream this morning that I cheated on my boyfriend with another guy while studying abroad in Korea. Didn't feel guilty at all in the dream, but it bothered me in real life so I called him up and told him about it. Good thing he trusts me to never actually cheat but lately he's been craving pizza a lot so he basically retaliated by saying he's going to cheat on me with pizza. xD

I wonder what my answers to those questions say about my subconscious

I looked it up. Seems pretty silly to me! The body of water one seems like a pretty obvious attempt to match adjectives...I used the Dead Sea so it didn't really work for me haha

I remember being asked these before. My answers were not in line with my personality as far as I'm aware. XD
