Is parsleys point not that those statements will apply to most people most of the time. ( apologies if ive misread your intent) Who doesnt have a difficult relationship, some uncertainty about the future and choices to make in their life. Also most people have a dog somewhere in their life : their own, an annoying dog belonging to a neighbour, childhood pet etc. Read up on Barnum statements, makes me angry that people in real life con money out of vulnerable people for this stuff. Re the ring try proven memory techniques for where it is : think when you last had it, what could you see and smell, smell is a powerful memory trigger so try to remember whilst smelling the same aroma and picture what you did with it rather than use words to remember.
