Doodles are signs which you draw unconsciously (无意中) when you are holding a pen in your hand and
just happen to start writing aimlessly. However, there is more to these"diagrams (图形) of the unconscious"
than what you see. Free from the restriction (限制, 约束) of the conscious mind, they can be useful in finding
your character and personality, and many of your secret hopes, ambitions, fears, and dreams.
Faces are a sign of sociability or lack of it. If you doodle happy, smiling faces, you have a friendly,
out-going disposition which people respond to, and you enjoy an active social life. If your faces are bad, this
may mean hating others. Faces looking to the right are sign of outgoing personality and confident expectation
about the future while to the left, a sign of shyness and self-control.
Bare or narrow trees show a lack of warmth. You've probably been disappointed in life or could even be
suffering from a minor illness that needs attention.
If you build a house in layer(层), each layer separate, you could be too proud, too eager to make your loved
ones follow your order and jump to attention. A little untidiness in a house makes the people feel comfortable,
safe and happy.
If your doodle looks like a web, you are making a cry for help in solving a problem. You feel trapped, and
are seeking a way out; perhaps you even want to travel, try out new ideas and realize your ambitions. But you
lack confidence to step out into the World on your own because of the web you've created around you.
