I wondered the same thing too! Like it was a foreign concept. I didn’t even know what to do with the latter. So I just had it laying on the ground next to me after I examined it. Wood, Antique looking, about 8 steps. I like wood, it’s natural, I liked that it was antique looking. It was sturdy despite its age. Light weight and easy to carry and use around inside your house. Antiques remind me of simpler times. That’s why I like them. Still, the idea that the latter could exist in the same world as my cube was foreign. My cube was almost like a hologram, futuristic. Like an object that could be summoned into the palm of your hand. Reminded me of a video game. Just floating there, no bigger then a Rubiks cube, was a neon lighted framed cube. Nothing in it as it was just a frame. Kinda neat and futuristic. 😆 I wonder what it means about life goals? And how how I view my mind? Do I have goal any goals or that I don’t need them? Or are they only useful from time time? Like they are there to fall back on if you need them. Like my Antique latter. Natural, well used, reliable. Use as needed Good to look back on and remember. Futuristic, yellow neon glowing, famed cube. Simple, neat, nothing to hide. Definitely comes from the future. Brain hear the word latter…latter appears floating in front of me. 404 file not found. Object from a different time period….does not compute, Incompatible. Doesn’t know what to do with latter. Sets down next to me. 😂🤣😂

[@edna8170]

My dad was really into that test when I was young. It was more like a fun game to us. I remember my dad asking my mother about the horse and she said "No it's not a single horse, it's a whole herd of them! Can't even tell how many there are. They are strong, wild and untamed." 😂 I also remember a friend telling me that his cube was made of cheese. 😆

Question: How does the way you were taught about the concept of a desert influence your answers? Like what if you didn't imagine a lot of flowers because it is a desert and as far as I know, not much grows in a desert?

[@neginosan]

Good point 😂

[@the_mystic_man]

Exactly. A lot of these blind associations are only as metaphorically accurate to these descriptions as the person's experience with those things. I've never seen a wild horse in my life. Most of my vague memories thinking about horses are from western movies when I try to think of it. Western movies typically have a cowboy riding a horse. -That does *not* mean I want a partner I can "control". It's simply that I never really seen much horses in my life except in western movies. In contrast, all I've ever known have been independent women who are wild.

[@Lord_of_Snels]

Australian deserts are full of spinifex and life and once every decade or so there are giant flower blooms that turn the whole desert a flush of colour

[@Hallands.]

Yeah, I felt that »desert« and »cube« introduced some limitations - or external bias even - on my associative process. Maybe »landscape« and »building« would be more neutral. I needed to introduce a wadi to have a place for the flowers… The more I think about it, the less appropriate I find »desert«. For instance there’s almost only one kind of storm in a desert, a sandstorm, and it has very few parameters of significance, duration and location. So I just placed my storm far to the left, moving away from the interesting, black, metallic cube…

[@Acoustic-Rabbit-Hole]

I grew up near the White Sands national monument in New Mexico, so when I began this exercise, my imagination had to make a distinction between a orange-sand desert and the pure white sand desert here.

[@trish.x]

I saw the storm in the distance coming my way, but I knew it would bring water that the desert desperately needed and cooler temperatures. So it gave me a sense of relief, peace and gratitude 😅 did anyone else feel this way?

[@kaszandrajames653]

@Magnetar StarHeart Cosmic Co-op similarly to mine. But the cube was made of light 🤷🏼‍♀️. The horse was close and kinda caddy corner to me and the cube. Red bridal, no saddle and the horse was the same color as the desert. The horse looked pleasant. The desert had a lizard and shrub near me. My cube was approximately 22 feet away from me. The storm was above the cube but the cube was in the eye of the storm. I was in the cube storm didn’t affect me. I was in the cube and the cube was in the eye. as I walked into the cube the space got larger kinda like Dr Who Tardis 😂. My flowers were fragile but with firm dense leaves. They were white and purple with yellow pollen. The ladder was against the cube and it was a simple but well built ladder (fresh wood) that leaned on the cube 2/3 up the cube. Had to write this out to try and remember it. Lol

[@darwinlp9860]

@@kaszandrajames653 I'll write my whole thing so that I don't forget. My desert was pink and filled to the brim with fossilized sea shells (I love sea shells). Plus cactus shrubs here and there. My cube was maybe 1.5ft wide and light in my hands. It was made of glittering, smooth obsidian that was see-through for halfway (and you could see stars inside), then the core was dense and black. My ladder was rickety old splintery wood. It was on the floor and I propped it up myself. The horse was auburn and sleek, aloof in the distance. It had a saddle but was unrestrained. As soon as flowers were mentioned, there were flowers EVERYWHERE, all the way to the distant corners of the desert (so I guess it was no longer a desert lol). They were all red-pink in hue and there were quite a few growing at the base of the ladder that I had propped up. The storm was deep, dark and terrifying, but it stood far away in the distance behind me. (Past traumas/struggles. I'm in a much better place now.)

I imagined my cube similarly..... like it was made of jello but a magical material I didn't understand and it contained infinity. I had the urge to go inside of it. It absorbed the horse, the ladder, and flowers.

[@Daniel.Simmonds]

I like these. Mine was magical in nature too. More like a 4D cube that was a portal, it was big enough for me to walk into. It contained a tropical forest with a brilliant blue pond. I used some water on the desert outside and it started growing the same grassy plants but just in one patch. The ladder was wooden and leaning against the cube. I climbed it to see the top of the cube contained another dimension into a cave, it also had a pond but with a blue bioluminecense like glowing mushrooms were present. I dove in and realised i was stuck but the ladder appeared again to help me climb back out to see a horse eating the plant life that I'd grown. A single white daffodil with pink stripes was in the middle the horse sniffed it and left it be. The storm was large and distant at first but kept erratically changing direction. It stayed over me for a while and I disliked it. But it helped the flower grow so I accepted the feeling knowing that it was helping the plants and the horse that relied on it. The horse had a bridle but I didn't like that it couldn't eat so I took it off. It was saddled and I rode around on it, both of us were content. I got off and it kept eating. Now to decode my mind I guess. :D

[@Daniel.Simmonds]

Apologies for the long reply. I got slightly carried away :D

[@incrediblee3688]

Fellow magic cuber here. I needed badly to touch the cube (big and small at the same time, the opposite of what I am currently thinking at any given moment, as soon as I say its big...its small... and vice versa) and absorb its powers to be able to progress with some sort of magical energy needed, then snatch up the 3 flowers (i have 3 kids) that told me they would be ok even if I just left them there because the approaching storm wouldn't hurt them but they would like to see what's on the other side of the mountain ridge. Then hop on the my saddle less horse that had reigns dragging the ground just wandering in the distance waiting for me, the reigns were there but when looking at the horse in the eye I knew we could trust each other to go where we needed to go. The horse was like come on hurry up, figure yourself out, and get on, this 6ft ladder is small and somehow reaches the top of a 100 foot mountain ridge. So lets go explore the rest of the world will riding off on the edge of the storm for relief from the heat and to see its beauty but not so close that it hurts us or we get lost. My wife also saw 3 flowers on a bridle less horse with 3 flowers tucked in the saddle, she just wanted to hop on the horse and go to the storm for relief from the heat.

[@ninie6156]

hmmm... mine was also "magical"... it had the form of a cube, a ladder standing on it and ending in the middle of one of its face, however the surface of the cube were transparent, and the content of the cube was a "magical", sort of oily, alive, mostly black with faint traces of purple and distant white stars in it. the surface were solid to the ladder, but I could go inside it as if there were no surface, I could also pick the substance inside in my hand to analyze it outside the cube.... I felt drawn to plunge in it and... transcend.

[@hydraelectricblue]

My desert had a carnival in it. My cube was levitating transparent glass. The ladder led to the cube hovering 9 feet above the ground. I get on cube and levitate to heaven?

When she asks how large the cube is, my mind instantly thinks in practical terms. Like, if this is a vast desolate desert, a tiny little toy cube wont be easily found, and thus is irrelevant, so my mind instantly made it about the size of a smallish shack/house. And when asked to describe what the cube looked like and such, it had a painted metal feel, like a car, but when she asked how close I was to it, my mind instantly backs away and sees it afar. Like a scene from a film where I'm approaching something over a horizon. To get out of the sun and maybe access water or help. And the flowers make sense next to the cube since they'd be lined on the side and planted by someone, whoever lived in the cube or built it. Flowers in a random spot in the desert are good as dead. I know I'm supposed to let go and 'free' the mind to see whatever, nomatter how silly or random, but its very hard.

[@CosmicSpectrumArt]

but that's SO interesting!! The fact that your mind is inclined to think in practical terms is super significant O: I found that my mind was kind of trying to be practical at first but then surrendered to whatever first imagery pops in without trying to rationalize or make sense of it.. which is probably also very telling haha.

[@er6730]

Yes, I don't know much about the desert, so I just had "big yellow hot thing with sand" for that, and I was touching the sand and found the cube in there and put it in my pocket. The horse was next to the adobe building with the ladder on it, and the plant grew near the door of the building in the shade. It was one of those desert flowers with the hardy stems and delicate pink flowers. The storm was a sand storm on the horizon, coming fast, and I was wondering how to get the horse to safety. Is the building a barn or a house? Can I get the horse through the door? And so on. I also wondered if I could prop up a board to save the flowers, but decided that it wasn't a priority and I'd better get the horse to safety. It was all quite a realistic scene at the end of it.

[@exloster9624]

I thought practically too, but in stead of big I went small. A cube small enough that it fit in my palm, which is where it was, in my hands.

bruh same but mine's kinda inconsistent with the realism. like i couldnt picture a real looking horse. a glowing cube was just in the middle of nowhere. and i kept thinking how weird it is for flowers to be in sand but my mind still went along with it

[@madisenn9424]

The desert seemed endless and made me feel isolated. There was a lot of cactus and some had pink flowers on them. Other than that all the life was hidden. My cube was the size of a small room and it was about 15-20 ft in front of me. It was made of really dark green scales… and there was a doorway but the inside was pitch black. The vibe it gave off was repelling and I did not want to know what was inside the dark, scaly cube. The ladder was made of aged bamboo and it was built onto the cube. It went all the way up to the roof, though I had the strange feeling that if I climbed up onto the roof it might fall through and into the cube. I had no intention of entering that damn thing. The storm was coming and it was going to be POWERFUL and wild. The horse was a gelding. He didn’t spook at the storm. He just stood next to me, calmly. I felt support and peace from him. He was grayish white and was bridled and saddled, ready to carry me away from the storm lol. I felt alone in the desert and intimidated by the cube and whatever was inside of it. The raging storm that was headed straight for me made me restless and uneasy but, the horse brought peace and I felt like I would be ok because he was there and saddled and I wasn’t completely alone. Very strange scenario that my brain just created.

Though you may never see my face or travel across the vastness of the seas know that my love for you. The strength and the love of so many are with you.

I'm an artist. I'm actually working on a cube I made out of clay. Each side is painted in polarity of the other. The first side I painted was the desert. The other is of tall cliff islands. I painted each side in different painting styles. Hollow . A sculpture of a flat Cowboy Sheriff Cat sits on top of the cube like a bale of hay of about 2 inches in each dimension. I live in the desert 🏜. The ladder is hand made and super old wood leaning on the opposite side of the house where the cube is. A spotted horse around the bend. It is our neighbors. Beautiful horse. Say he's mine. A storm is coming. Snow. I love snow. The flowers are solar flowers. 3. This is insightful. Spot on . Thank you

I did this test when I was a teenager, about 15 years ago, my friend "tested" me with a simplified version of it. I love how my pictures/answers are almost exactly the same as before. The only partial difference is in the cube (it's not completely different, but a tiny bit) Also, the answers are pretty great and optimistic (with realism). After a hard time, I really needed this

[@Adriana.Gabriela]

Since a lot of people are writing their answers here, here are mine: The desert was both big and small (it was vast, but the focus was on the part where I am), it was a classical sandy desert, like the Sahara, but it wasn't hot, it was nice and warm in a way that you don't even notice the temperature. The cube was kind of influenced by the video's thimbnail but it didn't differ a lot from my old one - the new one is transparent with rainbow edges, it is made of a non-defined material, but the material is very strong - the old cube was metal and there was a patch of rainbow travelling all over the cube. The ladder are leaning on the cube, and end just at the edge, so I can climb up. They are made of wood, but good quality sturdy wood. I am right in front of the sube and ladder, close to it. Flowers are all over the desert, not defined which flowers, but they are of various colors. But there's a bit of space around me, with one flower the closest to me, and I think the first time I did the test there were 3 floer the closest to me. The horse is a black stallion, wild, but tame, as in there are no rein or a saddle, the horse is free, but is calm and gentle. He is right next to the cube and me, and is approaching me and letting me pet him. (Btw, this is almost the perfect description of my ex, who is definitely the right person for me). The storm is very close to me and almost above me, but is barely managing to do anything. It's a small patch that tries to become a storm, but it can't (that would mostly mean that I'm not letting it, so instead it's sunny. All in all, pretty accurate, and al the answers are the same, except for the partial difference in the cube, and the tiny difference in the number of the closest flowers

[@SchnippSchnappShnappi]

At my 17 the ladder was soo high up in the sky, at my 38 it is just to the top of the cube, this is how life cuts enthusiasm)))

[@Adriana.Gabriela]

@@SchnippSchnappShnappi makes sense. That's basically why I was always a realist 😂 *a real realist, not what people usually confuse for realism, but is actually kind of pessimistic. Maybe it should be called realistic optimism? I guess your new ladder would fall under that as well

It's really cool! I can't wait until my child can take this test. ☺️ Going to have my husband take it . 😁 You say your cube is a bit different than your previous session!

My desert was a huge vast desert with nothin living in it but me. Just sand. My cube was made of rubber and it was small and blue. I was holding it. My ladder was very tall and was sticking up towards the sky. It was very stable, and was about ten feet away from me and the cube. The horse was far away, but running in the same direction as my ladder. The horse only had a saddle. There was a huge storm. It was far away, but I could tell it was slowly coming my way. The storm had lots of wind and lightning and rain. All of the flowers were underneath it. There were not many, but there were not few. They were pink. I was very small compared to this world.

[@maebla]

My cube was an irridescent purple yellow and made out of something ethereal or primordial like plasma and when I ran my fingers through it, it felt otherworldy. The whole damn place was like an acid dream. Still, I recently heard you say 'It's no measure of success to be a healthy individual in a profoundly sick society' and it has recently become my personal mantra. And this too shall pass :)

[@PinkElfHSP]

My cube was magically glowing with yellow, pink, and green swirls. Also, I've struggled with depression for several years, and I could feel my brain fighting between making the desert vivid and full of life, and making it a place you could explore for miles and not find much of interest. I could tell my outlook on life was influencing it, which is pretty interesting.

[@cassandrajorg9806]

My cube was iridescent as well like an aura crystal. It is beautiful to look at. I can put my hands through it like liquid but just on the left side. It was clear in the front and solid glasslike, my ladder was leaning on it and you could easily climb up and climb in. Inside it was a safe place.

[@kristinadroz6210]

"The ladder represents the path towards you goals." My cube was my size, transparent, from unbreakable glass and my goal was to get inside of it and explore it, not getting on top of it. And I did get inside of it. No ladder. So, it depends of the goals :) And the desert is supposed to be a desert, which means a lot of send with some bushes here and there, and maybe a snake somewhere. No abundance of flora and fauna. This is an educational, realistic perception of a desert and has nothing to do with being optimistic or pisimistic. Flowers can be better arranged in rows or other simetrical patterns. It just means that this person is organized.

[@DreDredel3]

My cube was within arms length, then picked it up, the size of a baseball. Corners are very sharp (almost enough to cut my fingers), dark navy blue, smooth like glass, made of obsidian. Ladder made of bamboo, long but not infinitely long laying near the cube. Desert, vast like the sahara all around & warm not hot. Chaotic storm in the far distance but not moving from the horizon & still dry & sunny where I stand. Flowers like Baby's Breath but pale pink all in my hand. The horse is a young wild red stallion, no bridle no saddle & looks like ready to gallop off but seems to be waiting about 10ft away from the cube. The ladder about 3ft away from the cube laying on the sandy ground. This was very fascinating 😁👍

[@ShasaKawaII]

I was on a dessert. Sunny day with vast sand and dunes in front of me, yet, it was not to vast that it made me feel overwhelmed but vast enough to make me feel the view was beautiful. My cube was on my hand... As big as my palm. It was a solid, black iron. My ladder was in front of me, wood, brown coloured, lying on the ground, 2 meters away. The horse was running wild in front of me, not away but crossing over the desert as it passsed my eyes. The storm was in distance, the sky was adorned with lightning. Not to big, just 1/3 of the distant sky. And I was feelings unperturbed towards it. Or maybe it should be that I am feeling indifferent towards it. There was only one white flower at my feet. Though it look fragile, I got a strong feeling coming from its existence in the dessert. This exercise is really good in trying to understand yourself.

[@radiclelife]

- the desert seemed vast as I couldn’t see any new environment around me, but I knew it didn’t go on forever. It was dry and hot, like I didn’t want to breathe or else moisture would escape. But the breeze was nice. There are some plants, rocks, boulders, insects and reptiles about where they decide to inhabit. - the cube is hand-held sized. It is sitting in the sand in front of my feet. Made of glass/crystal. It’s semi-transparent, like you can almost make out what’s on the other side but when you look through, the image of what’s beyond bounces around. It is smooth on the outside, but has signs of friction that caused its smoothness and you can feel some grooves. It’s not heavy nor light. Almost has a holographic glare in the sunlight - the ladder is laying in the sand about 12 or more paces in front of me. It is made of wood, quite normal looking. It’s not extremely tall, but is taller than me (5ft1). It’s pretty sturdy although it is older but seems to have been made well. It’s in a parallel direction from me to an oasis - the horse is at the small oasis. Lovely trees, fresh water with a small spring, reeds, and birds. The horse is black and brown. There is a bridle and it is tied in a knot from one end to the other aka it isn’t tied to anything but itself. The bridle is of sturdy, but somewhat worn leather and the knot allows me to have a good grip. There is also a saddle too, but it is also a bit worn. It is brown with small details of swirls. The horse is just standing there at the water’s edge, waiting for me and looking at me. I don’t feel hostility, but more of a wise-ness, calmness, and a tiny bit of intimidation but more due to it wanting respect. It’s mane and tail is long and black. Eyes are dark, hooves are dark - the flowers are in clumps and are around the banks of the water’s edge. They are blue and white when fully bloomed but are green when young. Their leaves and stems are thick and durable. There isn’t much smell to them - the storm is in the distance. It takes up a good portion of a part of the sky. The thunder is loud with just a bit of lightning. It is dark: black, purple, grey, and navy blue. But I am not scared of the storm: I welcome it due to the additional humidity I feel in the air. I know it is bringing water, life

When i imagined my cube, it was the same one as the thumbnail- im that easily influenced 😂

[@freewilllifestyle428]

Couldn't resist sharing what I wrote down! So funny... the desert part is a bit dramatic. 😂 normally i'm quite optimistic. DESERT: vast, hot, dry, no plants, struggling to survive. CUBE: large icecube that never melts, it comforts, cools and hydrates, makes me happy. I'm hugging it and feel strongly bound to it. It's transparent when I rub away a thin outer layer of fog. LADDER: sturdy wood, beautiful but old, lays next to cube & is same height as cube. If I use it to climb on top, something magical will happen (transformation/enlightenment?) HORSE: dark brown, distant, galloping quickly towards me, without saddle or reins. It could be my way out of the desert. I feel I need to make a choice: climb on top of the cube or wait for the horse and ride out of the desert. STORM: far off in the distance, stationary, very dark & rumbling, thunder and lightning, scary, mysterious. Part of me is drawn to it, but I prefer to stay safe next to my cube. FLOWER: 1 small fragile white daisy, growing directly next to cube (getting water supply from it). I have a strong need to protect/nurture it. It represents a small glimmer of hope. It looks up to me, I'm it's hero/protector. It depends on/is attached to me in the same way I feel towards my cube.

I feel very misunderstood by most, so I guess this makes sense. My ladder was leaning on the cube, and it was inviting me to climb. But, the ladder was made of old wood, I do often feel alone in life and in my goals. The horse was beside me, not tied up, no saddle, completely free, but he choose to spend his time with me. This is interesting, as my ex husband was a cheater who felt like he was tied to me and couldn't leave (until I pushed him out). The storm was great, but in the distance. It filled me with awe, but was happy it was far from me. My flowers were in the corner of the cube, 4 of them, all yellow. I loved them and they loved me. They can't see into the cube, they may misunderstand me at times, but they will always be there.

[@simplyspice7916]

My cube had bright light bars making up each of the sides, it was transparent. My ladder was made of wood and it was sturdy but it was going through my cube... Like inside it. It kept going up for maybe 15 rungs. My horse was brown and white with leather and metal bridle and saddle but not tied up looking at me blinking. My flowers were white and purple with little yellow spots by the stamen and pistol. My storm was black and threatening with lightning and thunder visible and audible off in the distance. My desert was barren with rocks off to one side and mountains in the distance, kind of a sepia color. Dried cracked ground with one stick tree off to my left. Its a lot to try to dissect because my mind put in soooo many details- lol

[@adriennemiller.music.]

well, im pretty screwed, cause my dessert is only sand, i’m a 3 m3 empty glass cube with a wooden ladder leaning on its side, which i originally observed from 50m, but i got closer and closer to it, and didn’t have the patience for the horse part 😅😂

[@picklesnoutpenobscott3165]

That was entertaining! My Desert was vast, sand, cliffs in the distance, mesas, hills. It burgeoned with insect life, lizards, and small things, but all unseen. There was scrub dotting the place. My cube was 30 feet high, and metal. A very interesting forged finish, pleasant to touch and intricate to the eye, cool or hot depending where the sun hit it. Ladder was an 8 foot aluminum jobbie, lying in the dust. Sturdy and light, but not really needed. Appropriate, as I am retired! My horse was a palamino, wind flowing in a wild mane as it ran around.my flowers were fields in bloom, desert wildflowers with black centers, purple, orange and rimmed with yellow.

[@picklesnoutpenobscott3165]

Oh! The storm was on the horizon, deep grey and lightening shot, but far off. The rains would be life bringing, not life threatening.

That was fun, and I found it to fit my situation. I saw a typical Arizona desert with little in the way of life, only shrubs, cacti, reptiles, and small animals. The cube was about the size of my house and was empty with the one wall open, it was mirrored, I was both almost close enough to touch it and somehow far enough away to see the entire cube. The ladder was made of wood, and leaning on the cube near the opening. My horse was white without a bridal, saddle or any kind of fettering, he was facing the cube and about 50 feet away. I felt like the cube was the horse's home. The storm was very far away and was just an electrical storm between two mountains. I appeared to just be a one shard of lightning that wasn't moving. The flowers were typical yellow cacti flowers and they were scattered all over the desert. Beside the fact that the cube was mirrored I felt that this was a natural scene, but, it bothers me that the cube is mirrored. Mirrors can break and I wouldn't want the horse to get hurt. I imagined that the ladder was there for me to clean the roof of the cube. Thanks Teal.

[@gurmehar9546]

The cube being mirrored cud reflect u being very closed up or private kind of person. Not opening ur true feelings/self 2 others, but rather reflecting back n reciprocating whatever they project/throw at u. Making mutual n calculative equal transactions with others. Or mayb just giving them their desired reflections. U know, adapting n people pleasing flexible behaviors. I don't mean any offence. M just trying 2 interpret as per my understanding n perspective. My cube was a shinning sparkling crystal carved one like Swaroski miniatures or something, n was d size of Rubik's cube. Completely reflecting d outside environment.

[@zelinamarks5397]

I feel like maybe my test was biased because of how much I just pictured Arizona…

[@laurabarber6697]

Mirror is also reflective- shows the object itself. Like a good zen teacher🎁💝

[@darthfiende1]

This was fascinating. My desert was expansive and felt good to be in, but the living things were small and incidental. I was more impressed by the mountains in the distance. My cube was about 1 cubic foot of solid stone like shungite or obsidian, black with a silver sheen. It felt otherworldly, like an alien dropped it there. The ladder was tall and made of sturdy wood. I initially pictured it leaning against the cube, but the cube was smaller than the space between the rungs, so I put it down in the ground a few feet from the cube. The horse was brown and pretty and tied up several yards from the cube. It felt like someone else was coming back to claim it and neither of us really knew what to do with each other. The storm was passing in the distance. I had three yellow flowers with short seasons. Two were several yards away from the cube and the ladder, one was right next to the cube and I didn't understand why it just popped up there.

[@sarahohara4022]

Okay so my desert felt as big as the universe and was barren but beautiful and peaceful. The sand was warm and dynamic and the wind was cool and refreshing. The sky felt like the ocean. My cube was a large (rich dark blue, strong and smooth) house-sized structure that I immediately walked into. My ladder was leaning against one pillar of the cube and it only reached half way up the edge. My ladder was wooden and I felt like I had made it. It was strong and something I brought with me. My horse was on top of a nearby dune, about as high as the top of cube. It was white and standing calmly with the wind in its face. The storm was looming huge in the far distance but I felt excited about it coming. Storms always excite me though. The flowers were light pink/white and bloomed all around the grounded four corners of the cube and I felt love towards them. They were small and delicate. I don’t know if this a good representation of my subconscious but it’s good to reflect :)

[@milatonova5341]

I got so triggered that my cube is small, empty and transparent. 😂

[@somerandomvertebrate9262]

So is mine. And made of plastic. Out of place in the desert. I dislike deserts.

[@realglutenfree]

Its not so bad that your cube is small, as long as you are near the cube :) Mine is also transparent and out of glass, but that can just mean that you are an open and sincere person.

[@somerandomvertebrate9262]

@@realglutenfree Yeah, so I guess, lol. In my case it was less than 10 meters away with a diameter of about 1½ decimeters, stuck in the sand. Actually, I am a pretty sincere guy. Thank you. :)

If you do a google image search for desert, you'll learn that the search engine itself is a pessimist.

[@CurbHopper111]

I'm surprised by how accurate this was for me. I was in a very large and bare south west desert (where I live) with just a few cacti, rocks, and some animal skeletons and skulls. The cube was glass with pink metal edges, about the size of my palm and next to a nearby cactus. The ladder was further out, red, rusted metal, falling apart, laying on the ground, and about average size. The horse was very far out, wild, black, and just trotting around randomly. Single white desert flower, I forgot what they're called, kinda near. Thunder and lightning storm was there but no rain.

[@kimlee205]

This exercise was very interesting and I enjoyed doing it. The results were so bang on - thank you Teal Swan for this knowledge.

[@AkRenee]

My cube test was extremely accurate. I did something similar years ago by drawing a house, snake, river & a tree. I believe that one had to do with the relationship between you and your parents. It's fascinating how telling these subconscious, quizzes are!

[@raymitchell9736]

Well the problem I had with this test was that I was asked to imagine a dessert and so I did... by definition it is a vast wilderness... Then imagine a cube, because I grew up when that word triggers a strong relationship with the "Rubik's Cube" so there was one those... The ladders, well I have them around my house, so just I imagined one that I already had. Flowers: was the Hibiscus because I just ordered the tea from Amazon, and it came from Egypt they had pretty pictures of them... Anyway, the images were just ready-made things in my day-to-day life... does this make it a valid test? I'm not sure, because now that I understand what the *interpretation* of the *interpretation* was intended to reveal... maybe it reveals more about the psychologist's world view and (his/her) assumptions about people's world view... as I think about that, suddenly I see a reflection of a reflection... How fascinating.

[@queziacristiane]

I had the same problem with the Rubik's cube and the desert ( and I don't feel anything about the colors of the cube of the plastic). My desert was just sand, than she keeps adding living things like horses and flowers. And even the ladder was made of sand, because of in my Logic in desert there's only sand! I don't think it works

[@raymitchell9736]

@@queziacristiane, well... I can see where the logic was heading with this, but this test seems too directed and prompted with specifics. Instead of "imagine a desert" ask "imagine you are in nature, wherever you want to be... where are you?" Or instead of a horse, ask "Imagine an animal comes over to you, what animal did you imagine?" It might be harder to write a decoder for such an open-ended line of questions, but at least you're drawing from your own imagination and unprompted... The problem is now I can only imagine a Rubik's cube... I hope I'm not asked to do this again... LOL

[@veramolova2846]

It means that you take life literally. You can't go out of the box. A tree can be more than a tree if you use your imagination. That's the whole point:)

[@raymitchell9736]

@@veramolova2846 I agree, both are valid points of view... My issue was more about the design of the test than what it revealed, if I were to do this again I'd tap into my creative side than trying to logically construct something consistent... I'm an engineer by training so I do think literally... and that can also be a blindness, I know there's more than this physicality, I've been blessed with numerous experiences, so I appreciate what you are saying... and Agree 100%.

[@jimascreama]

reading the comments, I had really similar images on a lot of them but one thing that was much different was the cube itself. my cube was small and I held it in my hand, it was made of a sort of silicone material and it was white with a slight bluish glow. I also think it's cool how accurate most of this stuff was lol (I'm a fan of personality analysis type stuff)

Bro my cube just just above me and it wasn't big, it was made out of glass, but for some reason had blue and pink rims. As I heard her explain what most of it mean't it was indeed quite accurate. 😎

same for me, a small cube same color as yours with grey too. I'm a fan of personality test too. ;-)

My cube was different as well. Mine was also in my hand. It was made of like a metal that was very like reflective and was like a silver/black color as it was moved around.

That was really cool, grab a pen and a couple of sheets of paper and fully visualize this whole thing, write down what you see and feel to get the most out of this.

[@indiareiss434]

Really interesting excersize! I dont usually do these things but I tried it and was surprised by my answers. My dessert was absolutely massive, and was made of dried mud that had cracked. Not a single living thing, no rocks, no plants, no sticks. My cube was a tall beautiful glass box almost like a walk in shower. It was see through but also full of white and blue light shining out. I was drawn to it and wanted to go inside. The ladder was normal sized, well made antique wood, heavily used but strong. Laying on the ground not far from the cube. The horse was a wild horse running across the dessert far away from me, and I wanted to let it be. It was, multi color like those beautiful horses the Indians had. The storm was a massive, dark rumbling thunderstorm just starting up but far in the distance. I wasnt afraid because I knew the rain was needed, but felt I should take shelter and that it would pass quickly. The flowers were far away, only a sparse few, deeply rooted and hearty. Bright red.

[@Kaleidescope66]

Okay mine was exactly the same! Except I had one sunflower at my feet. I thought of going in the cube as the storm rolled in. Sorry, my horse was just brown, but a desert wild horse.

[@marisamartin3664]

Funny my vision was almost identical to yours! But cube semi-transparent and as I got closer was something you could live in. Thought I saw a small pool. Wish she would speak through a little slower!

My cube had light shining out too!! It was like a glass elevator that shined, only mine had metal framing.
