The psychic thread had me thinking. An idea struck me. New thread for this or as part of the psychic thread? New thread, methinks.

I am offering to read you, here on Gaire, free of charge. I have only met a few of you, for a very short time. In reality I don't know you. (I have a fair idea about one or two, but the rest of you I don't know at all.) No, there's no need to meet.

For the sceptics among you, it is only a pop psychology game using cold reading, I freely admit. For the others, I have psychic abilities and willing to share with all and sundry. In a week's time, I am going to explain how this works. (Or shall I keep it a secret? )

In order for this game to work, I want you to be honest about what you visualise and type it down and post it here. (or privately, if you want your analysis to be private)
The more detail the better, and be HONEST. If you make up a spoof answer, you'll get a spoof answer that does not accurately reflect you.

Ok. here goes.

1. You are going for a walk. where are you walking? are you walking alone or with others? What is the weather like? The terrain? time of day?

2. As you walk along, you come across a cup. Describe it.

3. Would you take it or leave it?

4. Having made your decision, you continue along when you see a mug this time. Describe it.

5. Would you take it or leave it?

6. You continue along with your walk, when you come across a bridge. Describe it. How do you cross the bridge? Going across not looking left or right? Or stopping to looking at the water? If you look at the water, did you see fish? anything else you visualised?

7. While on the bridge, you are accosted by a wolf, who calmly looks at you. How do you react?

8. Later on, when the wolf is gone, to your relief, you continue on. Only to be faced by a wall. It is a old stone wall, similar to the West of Ireland stone walls. Just above your head in height. Very easy to climb over, plenty of footholds. It is impossible to walk around the wall so there are three options open to you. Which option would you go for? a. turn back. b. climb up and look to see what's on the other side, then turn back. c. climb over and continue?

Thank you.

Hiya Freakybecks!

Thanks for that. I will start typing up my analysis this evening. (to set your mind at ease, you have nothing to worry about.)

OK I'm Ursa Minor interested! Here are my answers.

1) I'm walking through the city, there are lots of people. shopping, taking in the sights. It is just after midday, I am walking with a gorgeous lady, she has her arm around my waist holding me close. It is a beautiful sunny day.
2)It is a empty Burger Kink cup.
3)Leave it.
4)It is old and dirty, like the ones you used to have whan camping.
5)Leave it.
6)The bridge is a footbridge, I see the sun shining on the water looking like diamonds. It looks so beautiful, we walk slowly across the bridge stopping half way to embrace and kiss passionately.
7) I look clamly back at the wolf and step in front of my lady to protect her. I shout at it and wave my arms, he runs away.
8)I climb the wall, then help my lady up. We continue on our journey, seeing it as an inconvience.

Thankyou, will be interesting to see what that means!

Ive done this one before!!

You're in a desert, walking along in the sand, when all of a sudden you look down...
You look down and see a tortoise. It's crawling toward you...
You reach down and you flip the tortoise over on its back, Leon.
The tortoise lays on its back, its belly baking in the hot sun, beating its legs trying to turn itself over, but it can't. Not without your help. But you're not helping.
Why is that?

1. You are going for a walk. where are you walking? are you walking alone or with others? What is the weather like? The terrain? time of day?
I'm walking along the surface of the ocean. I'm wearing Jesus sandals. There are hundreds of dolphins swimming underneath my feet. It's midnight. I'm totally naked except for the Jesus sandals and a carnation flower which I am holding tightly between my buttocks

2. As you walk along, you come across a cup. Describe it.
The cup is very large and contains diet 7-up. When I look into the cup I see myself walking on the ocean in my Jesus sandals with all the tiny dolphins under my feet. Suddenly I am overcome with the urge to urinate

3. Would you take it or leave it?
Take what? Oh right, the cup. Yes of course. I look into the cup again and I see mini-me looking into the cup she is holding, now she is carefully squatting down for a piss trying not to drop the carnation

4. Having made your decision, you continue along when you see a mug this time. Describe it.
The mug is so beautiful I could cry. In fact I do cry.

5. Would you take it or leave it?
I realise my tears taste like Diet 7-up and that I am filling the ocean

6. You continue along with your walk, when you come across a bridge. Describe it. How do you cross the bridge? Going across not looking left or right? Or stopping to looking at the water? If you look at the water, did you see fish? anything else you visualised?
The bridge is made from empty Diet 7-up bottles. I am worried that they will not support my weight as I cross it. I decide to cross the bridge in the style of a Morris Dancer, I'm so sorry I forgot to bring my bells now. The carnation is starting to chafe

7. While on the bridge, you are accosted by a wolf, who calmly looks at you. How do you react?
The wolf decides to join in the Morris dancing, luckily he has remembered to bring his bells.

8. Later on, when the wolf is gone, to your relief, you continue on. Only to be faced by a wall. It is a old stone wall, similar to the West of Ireland stone walls. Just above your head in height. Very easy to climb over, plenty of footholds. It is impossible to walk around the wall so there are three options open to you. Which option would you go for? a. turn back. b. climb up and look to see what's on the other side, then turn back. c. climb over and continue?
I'm not relieved that the wolf is gone. I really liked him. He was called Eduardo and we had a lot in common what with the morris dancing and everything. We said we'd keep in touch and exchanged email addresses. So anyway I climb over the wall and as I reach the top I am transformed into a beautiful dolphin. I dive into the Diet 7-up ocean on the other side of the wall

Let me know what you make of this please?

1. Im walking along the beach, it's noon, and it's very windy out, the waves are crashing along the shore, the water foaming at the edge.
2. The cup is an old china cup, the handle is brroken off, when i look into the bottom of the cup I can see a womans face, it's similar to a tea service my parents had.
3. I leave the cup where i found and walk on, I look back to see the tide carry the cup out.
4.The mug is an old enameled mug, white with blue rim and handle, it has lots of chips out of it.
5. I leave it where I found it.
6. The bridge is an old steel bridge, as I cross I stop to look in the water, lots of fish, plus an otter swimming on it's back eating one of the fish.
7. As I start wakling I see the wolf on the bridge, I stop, frightened, but dont move, I slowly sink down to my hunkers in a form of submission, the wolf bears it's teeth and growls. Then turns and runs away.
8. I walk on and come to the wall, my only choice is to climb, and I do so. When I reach the top of the wall I notice a small child running in the field on the other side of the wall, he runs up to me and asks "Who are you?", I tell him my name, he say hello and runs away, I notice a road on the far side of the field and walk towards it. When I reach it I realise it's the road I lived on as a child.

It's long and detailed but I'd love to know what you make of it.

1. i'm walking along a forest road near my house
2.the cup is plain white polystyrene cup
3. i leave it
4. the mug is big with pink pictures of a love heart and a woman on it

7. i look calmly back at him
8. climb over and continue

i'm really curious to see what you come up with!
thanks!!!!!!

1. You are going for a walk. where are you walking? are you walking alone or with others? What is the weather like? The terrain? time of day?
I am walking along the beach it is morning, it is sunny, the seas are calm and the beach itself is tranquil

2. As you walk along, you come across a cup. Describe it.
It is a big white cup loads of writing on it like those huge starbucks ones. they are like buckets

3. Would you take it or leave it?
Take it

4. Having made your decision, you continue along when you see a mug this time. Describe it.
It is blue eye catching, and it is nice and pretty.

5. Would you take it or leave it?
Might as well take it

6. You continue along with your walk, when you come across a bridge. Describe it. How do you cross the bridge? Going across not looking left or right? Or stopping to looking at the water? If you look at the water, did you see fish? anything else you visualised?
Well because I am on a beach it is a little bridge and it is a small wooden one. I walk over it no problem

7. While on the bridge, you are accosted by a wolf, who calmly looks at you. How do you react?
I look it straight in the eye and remain calm. I want to show it I am not afraid of it.

8. Later on, when the wolf is gone, to your relief, you continue on. Only to be faced by a wall. It is a old stone wall, similar to the West of Ireland stone walls. Just above your head in height. Very easy to climb over, plenty of footholds. It is impossible to walk around the wall so there are three options open to you. Which option would you go for? a. turn back. b. climb up and look to see what's on the other side, then turn back. c. climb over and continue?
I climb over the wall and continue on my journey.

The bridge is made of grey stone. I walk across, looking down at the water. I see no fish. Although the water is powerful and is slamming fiercely against the cracked, grey slabs.

I freeze, don't make eye contact and continue across.
