I find this pattern spotting in my art process, especially when I paint largely intuitively. The recurring symbols & colors generally speak to something within me. Sometimes it takes me a while to figure out the meaning, but that’s just part of the process I think!

Great to read about Rorschach’s test. I’ve found that working with recurring patterns of reaction helps me hone in on the underlying mechanisms that might be at work. It’s a fascinating process.

Yes, use of narratives, and the often hidden themes within them, is a fundamental approach in psychotherapy.

It is part of the process indeed. I suspect it’s instinctual & consciousness of it could hinder the wonderful creative process. We need time to integrate all of the information & put it together for ourselves.
