Short Freudian Test: What’s on Your Subconscious Mind?

Psych2Go invites you to take a look deep into the secrets of your subconscious mind. Grab a pen and a piece of paper, turn the logic off, turn the imagination on, and let’s go!

  1. You’re peering into the sea. What do you feel?
  2. You’re walking in the forest and looking down at the ground. What do you see? Now write down the feeling you had.
  3. You watch seagulls flying above your head. How does this make you feel?
  4. You’re looking at running horses. What emotions did you get?
  5. You’re in the desert, and there’s a wall in front of you. You can’t see the end of it. There’s a little hole in the wall. You see an oasis through it. What are you going to do?
  6. While wandering around the desert, you suddenly find a jug full of water. What are your actions?
  7. You are lost in the forest in the night. Suddenly you find a house with lights on. Think of what you’re going to do.
  8. You’re in the fog, and you can’t see anything. What’s the first thing you want to do?

What do your answers mean?

  1. This is your attitude to life, your emotions, and wants.
  2. This is the way you feel about your family.
  3. Your attitude to women.
  4. Your attitude to men.
  5. This is your strategy for solving problems.
  6. This is how you choose your sexual partner.
  7. Your readiness for marriage and starting a family.
  8. Your attitude to death.

  1. your comment here….

    1). the air on my body and feeling of urine exiting my body/penis
    2). leaves, dirt, twigs, rocks, bugs, birds – the processes at work and my part in it all
    3). no different
    4). no different
    5). depends on the circumstances. Am I thirsty? (I presume you assume I am) I would look through the hole and circumstantially, I might look for a way to expand the hole (if it’s necessary … the size of the hole is not mentioned)
    6). verify it is actually water. consider if it is safe to drink. possibly test it…depending on the circumstances
    7). depends, do I have any camping equipment with me? Can I see anyone inside?
    8). get my bearings

    1. Wow our answers are almost completely the same. Only I thought differently about number 1.

  2. Most interesting: Can’t see anything in fog…
    My answer: Enjoy the feeling of being invisible. Then dance.
    My attitude towards death. Bang on!

    1. My answer was to just sit down and enjoy the feeling of being alone.
      My attitude towards death is apparently: Wait for it and enjoy it.

  3. Wow! Awesome……
    Gave me an indepth understanding of myself….

  4. The fog question gives me the creeps (because i’ve had a dream about that.) My response was to get on hands and knees and feel my way along the ground to determine where I am.

    Question #6 “This is how you choose your sexual partner” :
    This corresponds to the finding of a jug of water in the desert.
    My answer was, “First sniff..then taste.” LOL!

  5. My answers…
    1) lightness, freedom, small, peace, quiet
    2)leaves on a wet ground. Excited
    3)anxious
    4)interested/ curious
    5)try to make the hole bigger
    6)drink
    7)sleep outside not too far from the house but far enough where they won’t find me
    8)turn the high beams on

    My questions…
    *What does seeing seeing wet leaves on the ground in a forest & being excited mean as far as how I feel about my family? *answer 2

    * How does me drinking the water relate to how I choose my sexual partner? *answer 6

    *Does answer 7 mean that I see and am aware of the possibility of marriage and children but am not yet ready to make it apart of my life?

    1. I can imagine that the answer to your question about #6 is that, because you are in the hot desert, water is probably something you want. It’s now given to you, then there is your reaction to that possibility, how you cope with the situation and in the end it is up to you if you will drink it or not. Your sexual partner is someone you want to be with, as you want the water I believe. So your reactions to this kind of situation are probably similar. I am no expert so you cannot be entirely sure that what I said is 100% correct or accurate, but I hope my opinion helped even a little. 🙂

  6. Nr 1: freedom
    Nr 2: lonely
    Nr 3: fear of droppings
    Nr 4: bored, sleepy
    Nr 5: jump over the wall
    Nr 6: try small zip , if clean big zip, if dirty , soak hair and face
    Nr 7: quietly sneak past it
    Nr 8: look for a clearing

  7. 1) calm and cool
    2) chinar (oriental tree) leaves, mud and roots. i will feel excited.
    3) seagulls means; there is definitely water somewhere near so cool.
    4) I will feel happy as i love horses.
    5) if the wall is as tall as my height, I’ll use the hole to climb the wall.
    6) a jug of water in desert…suspicious. but I guess if I’m wandering, I’d be thirsty. i would feel ecstatic and gulp it down desperately( after examining)
    7) I will go to the house as I’m lost yet still be cautious because cabin in the woods…maybe hag!
    8) I would want a powerful torch, probably LED.

  8. For #5 “Your strategy for solving your problems.”

    My answer was literally, cry and try to find a way to it LOL

  9. Just wondering, how does this really reveal the subconscious mind? How do the answers relate to the meaning?

  10. No. 1) full of wonder and curiousity
    No. 2) grounded, down to earth
    No. 3) scared they’re gonna shit on me
    No. 4) majestic, powerful, strong, beautiful
    No. 5) climb over the wall using whatever means necessary, make it over the wall, period. No thought of failure
    No. 6) check to make sure it’s not someone else’s, then drink it
    No. 7) scout the house carefully and if find it to be ok, approach and ask for help
    No. 8) get flat on the ground and wait for it to lift

  11. 1. reminiscent, nostalgic, yearning

    2. mud, pleased

    3. pleased, weirded out

    4. amazed, cool

    5. not really go inside, scared, suspicious

    6. smell it, dip my finger and see if it’s real water

    7. throw a rock, who is inside, then maybe run

    8. wait for it clear out

  12. My answers..
    1. Longing to keep going further
    2. Looking at leaves and roots. I feel frustrated I keep looking down rather than enjoying the scenery around me. (Which is actually a problem that i have always looking at the ground to see where im walking rather than looking around me)
    3. Apathetic towards them
    4. Yearn to be with thm
    5. Just climb over
    6 Drink it without hesitation
    7 Rehearse what I’m going to say.. Prepare to run away if it turns bad
    8 Look and see what im standing on. Proceed with caution.
    This is really interesting to me when i saw the one about men and women. I’ve been toying with the idea of being a trans man, and this raises more suspicions about it. do i really want to be with them?

  13. 1. I can’t read it oops
    2. The dirt and mulch, insecure
    3. Happy, bc it means I’m near the beach
    4. Excitement, fear
    5. Break down the wall w/ fists
    6. Pour out the water and make it into a lake for myself
    7. Stalk the windows to see who’s inside, maybe mess with them
    8. Yell out to see if anyone else is lost too

  14. This was surprisingly insightful!
    1. I feel awe at the depth but I’m scared of what I can’t see (so true how I see life in general. I’m curious, but I dear it at tge same time)
    2. I feel at peace in the forest (same with my family)
    3. I feel small when I see how high the seagulls fly (women have made me feel insecure many times in my life)
    4. I feel freedom when I watch horses running (I’ve always felt more comfortable around men than women, I feel lile I can be myself without being judged as much)
    5. I would climb over the wall (I try to find the simplest way to solve problems, but I tend to think outside the box)
    6. I would “dive right in” and drink the water. If it’s good water, great, if its bad I was going to die anyway in the desert (I jump right into relationships and accept the outcome, hoping for the best)
    7. I would cautiously try to spy on the people in the house to see if they are dangerous before I consider asking for help (I guess I’m more cautious and untrusting of getting married, but I don’t want children so I’m not sure how accurate this can be)
    8. If caught in a fog where I couldn’t see anything, my 1st reaction would be to cry out for help. Trying to find someone, to find comfort in a companion (well this is easy, I’m scared to die and scared to be all alone)

    Very interesting!!

  15. 1) Peace and hope.
    2) I do this for real a lot xD I like to check the leaves and the insects, so I guess I feel curiousity?
    3) I like them but if there’s a lot of them I get anxious.
    4) Freedom
    6) I try to climb the wall or make the hole bigger. If it doesn’t work, I keep walking along the wall until I find the entrance.
    7) I drink a little bit and keep the rest for later (wtf)
    8) Find a comfortable place to sit and chill until the fog dissipates.

    I’m worried.

  26. wow this is actually pretty awesome, it’s pretty accurate. my answer:

    7. Knock
    8. Lights and waving my hands for the fog to go away

  27. My response to #6 was look at is suspiciously then walk past it. And #8 was look/feel for anything that seems safe.

  28. my answers to 1,2,3, and 4 were the same. a feeling of tranquility, freedom and happiness. omfortable security. what does it mean? and when in fog i’d wanna keep walking .. not scared or anything but just to finalluy come oout of the other end. which probably means i believe in reincarnation, which i do.

  29. 1. Light. Clear. Clean.
    2. Leaves, twigs, and rocks. Calm.
    3. Irritated.
    4. Bored.
    5. Climb over it. If it’s too high get innovative about vaulting it maybe. Or atleast die with a pretty view.
    6. Ration it strictly during the day then chug at night ;). Pfft all logic though during the day you Sweat out the toxins and shite. But during the night is when things get restored and renewed. Pfft romance is the dessert I’m dieing in HA. AND THE WATER IS LOGIC HAHAHAHA. I’ll probably die alone lol.
    7. Skirt the perimeters in the dark till the situation is in better view. Is it a axe murderer? Lil old lady pushing things into her old dirty oven? Or owner of a certain motel?
    8. Try to figure if I can see better under it or if there’s somewhere to get over the bulk. Wait for it to burn off. ╮(╯3╰)╭

  30. 1. Coolness of water embracing my body, awakening my soul

    2. Dried leaves and pathway, I feel mindful

    4. Enthralled, I want to ride it

    5. Go drink at the oasis, get out of the hole, continue my journey

    6. Suspiscious, so I search for clues but I take the jug with me in case I get thirsty again (since i already drank at the oasis) searching for clues lol

    7. Find a tree near that house, climb it and stay there as I observe the house

    8. Confirm if i cant really use my senses to see my way through. If so, ill take the risk to walk in one direction til i hit a spot or something.

    Answer:
    A little bit scared, confused, and curious. 😂😂 WTF .. I know I’m still confused about my gender but this just blown my mind.
