Please, don't anyone get trapped into thinking that metaphores are the realm of the concious mind. The unconcious mind is where all the interesting shit happens, and this is why everyone can have a metaphore for life but not realise it.
The best way to tell is by the language that someone uses, or by the actions that they make. For example, my dads metaphore for women is fishing. Ie wait for them to catch the bait, reel em in and then throw em back! Once you start looking for this shit then it is apparent that is all around you. And maybe even inside.
Warning:
You delve to deep, and slashdot will become news for hippies stuff that matters!
