Anyone who wishes, answer these questions in as much detail as you would like to. Once everyone who wants to has done so, I'll explain what your answers mean...muahahahah!
This is just some psychological thing I learned in lab today, so it's just for fun. Answer what first comes to your mind when reading the question...do not overthink this, or it won't be any fun.
Question 1: It is in the afternoon. You go far outside the local urban area, and you encounter a collection of trees. Describe them and how you feel about them.
Question 2: Continuing, you see a path or a road or a byway of some kind. Describe it and what you do about it, if anything.
Question 3: Next, in front of you, you see a vessel that can hold liquid. Describe it and what you do with it, if anything.
Question 4: Later in the day, you see a structure that houses living things. Describe the structure. What is your opinion of the living things inside, if there are any?
Question 5: Walking along a few minutes later, you see a body of water. Describe it and what you do about it, if anything.
Question 6: Finally, you encounter a barrier. Describe it and describe what you do about it, if anything.

Q1 Answer: The trees I see are multi-colored, tinged with orange, yellow, green, red and purple due to the changing of the season, mostly maple trees. I love the colors, its my favorite part of fall, however it also forces me to acknowledge that summer is over and winter is upon us, so I'm torn, part of me finding it absolutely beautiful, and part of me dreading seeing them.
Q2 Answer: I see a dirt path, trailing through the forest. All around me is nature, the smell of dirt, wind hitting my face, along with little patches of sun shining through the trees. It makes me calm and happy.
Q3 Answer: The vessel is a huge wooden barrel, like the kind wine is stored in. (lol I'm not an alcoholic I swear XD) Because I wonder why its there, I would take a look at it and see if I can find out who it belongs to and maybe why its there, as well as try to open it and see whats inside.
Q4 Answer: I see a house made of all different colors. Perhaps created by Dr. Seuss, and inside it are all sorts of strange creatures. Some red, some blue, some one, som-...<< *cough* Green eggs and ham anyone?
Q5 Answer: The body of water is so clear, you can see the bottom from any place you stand, be it deep or shallow. It takes forever to get deep, but in the middle is a sharp dropoff, where the water suddenly gets extremely dark. I find it mesmerizing and beautiful, and keep walking out further and further until I reach the drop off. When I reach the dropoff, I continue on, swimming.
Q6 Answer: The barrier I reach is a ravine, overgrown with vegetation, the bridge that used to span from side to side is long gone. Though I wish the bridge was there, I Epic Nathan Drake style beat, thrash, climb around to get to the other side look around for another way to get there.
So...>> How crazy am I?

Question 1: It is in the afternoon. You go far outside the local urban area, and you encounter a collection of trees. Describe them and how you feel about them.
It, at first, just seems like a normal forest. The trees are tall, the leaves are green, simple. But, I notice more than that. The way the branches shape themselves, the way the trunks are either curved slightly and just sturdy and strong. This forest has a mystical feel, like that in a fantasy story. It feels like there is always something waiting on the horizon and I go to it without a second thought. When I pass the trees and look at them, I see pictures worth painting and drawing. I see beauty all around.
Question 2: Continuing, you see a path or a road or a byway of some kind. Describe it and what you do about it, if anything.
I come up to a dirt path, like the kind seen on hiking trails. They have wooden blocks to show where the steps are, and sticks and leaves litter the path as I walk down it. The path twists and turns and takes me farther into the forest, and I follow it without a second thought. It's better than walking aimlessly.
Question 3: Next, in front of you, you see a vessel that can hold liquid. Describe it and what you do with it, if anything.
I come up to a barrel. A simple barrel, with no top on it. Going up to it, I peer in and I see clear, drinking water. Staring at for a moment, I look around me to see if it is anyone's, and get slightly curious and worried as to why it is here. I leave it untouched.
Question 4: Later in the day, you see a structure that houses living things. Describe the structure. What is your opinion of the living things inside, if there are any?
From the path, I come up to see a simple wooden cabin, with smoke streaming from the chimney. I peer in through the windows, and can see a fire burning in the fireplace. There is a bed, a table with two chairs, and a small kitchen. A simple one-room cabin. Like with the barrel, I look around for anyone, which is kind of redundant, and move on once more, without touching anything except the exterior of the house.
Question 5: Walking along a few minutes later, you see a body of water. Describe it and what you do about it, if anything.
Coming out of a clearing, I see the most beautiful and pristine lake my eyes have ever set upon. The water is as smooth as silk, with slight ripples from the wind. Woods circle around it, and off in the distance I can see what looks to be a mountain range. Beauty encompasses all around me, and all I can do is stare in awe at it all, exclaiming my bewilderment, before my legs finally start to move and I continue on.
Question 6: Finally, you encounter a barrier. Describe it and describe what you do about it, if anything.
I come up to a dam-like sort of wall, but unlike other dams, there is no water being filtered and/or being used as a means of gaining energy. I stare at the immense size of the wall in front of me, before turning left and right to see that it goes as far as the eye can see. Seeing as how I cannot go any farther, I turn back around, and return to the forest to climb in the trees and to enjoy the mystical beauty once more.

(Not sure how much I was supposed to write for each question or whatever) Q1 - The collection of trees are very green, but with some turning towards golden-brown. It's late summer, one of those still afternoons where there's barely any breeze in the trees and they are barely moving. There's little insects dancing along the surface of the river. That river's done an embankment, quite steep but easy enough to climb, but mostly I stick to the path higher up. It's warm, but cool enough for the air to be pleasant. It's thick in amongst the trees, but out in the open there is more of a wind and the long grass in the surrounding fields moves easily. I feel... peaceful. And since it's sunny I'd be quite happy since I'm always happy when the sun's out. I'm easily pleased like that >.> On the other hand, I'd probably be having more fun if my friend was there since we always go walks together. ^__^ Q2 - hmm, I was already on a path. Well okay, I come to a road lol. Sort of a country road, busy enough to be paved, but not like a highway or anything. There'd probably be like 1 or 2 cars passing along it the whole time I was walking it or something. I like walking lonely roads, but I miss the trees, dirt tracks are best. (Why do I have a preference of roads? I don't know. I should make a list.) The road doesn't make much difference to my mood, long as it doesn't disrupt the landscape. I continue on my way on the path back into the trees, rather than turning up the road. Q3 - ...Like an abandoned jug or something? ... I'd leave it. It probably has moss growing it or something. I'm imagining like a plastic kitchen jug that someone chucked away. I don't need extra flavourings in my water. (Though mmm that tasty tasty moss...) I guess if it was junk or something I'd be annoyed that someone had just chucked it away in the middle of nature. Otherwise I'd be really curious as to why it was there, especially if it was new or unique or pretty or something, because that'd be really weird. Q4 - Hmm, some kind of barn, there's always a bunch of farms around there. Probably got chickens inside or maybe pigs, some kind of farm animals. Okay, engaging poor descriptive skills - a small barn, smaller than the house beside it, painted sort of a faded red-brown although it's old and the paint is fading and peeling. Part of the wall is broken down and badly patched with wire mesh, plenty of clean hay/straw inside, loads of chickens scattered around that have escaped the holes in the mesh, but held in by a surrounding fence. Looks nice, even if it's rundown. I quite like rundown things, they're more home-y that way xD it looks really pretty actually. Chickens are kinda cute. There are horses out in the field behind, so I'd probably spent half an hour patting them and feeding them grass. Again... easily amused... Q5 - Well there was a river, maybe I turn the corner... And whoa, a big loch (hmm, lake for you Americans) is there! Where'd that come from? It's beautiful I was in farm country, but now it's more mountainous (only a bit, i'm not suddenly in the alps here) and the sky is more stormy. Water is totally calm though, few ripples, reflecting the mountains and the sky. I'm gonna need a boat... Or I could walk around. I kinda wanna go swimming, but it's a bit big to swim across and it's cold. Q6 - I set walking around and come to a wooden fence, painted brown wood (which is kinda weird when you think about it. Who paints a fence out in the middle of nowhere?) It's just slated wood, perfect to climbing over, only about waist-height. Psh, no obstacle, jump over it and keep walking. No problem Hope I did that okay.

Question 1: They are isolated pine trees and makes me feel peace.
Question 2: It looks rocky, made of dirt and some stones. I follow it.
Question 3: looks like a metal jar and will fill it with water from the nearest pond.
Question 4: An old bulding, rusty, broken windows and made out of bricks. It houses tons of stranded cats.
Question 5: Looks greenish, full of lilypads and some dragonflies hovering on it. I put water from it in the jar from before and also wash my hands in it.
Question 6: Looks like digitalized, made of neon orange bricks surrounded by metals. Looking weak still impregnable. Try to touch it, get burned, try to go around it.
