This is how you described the room:
The walls are padded, off white canvas, I think. It's chilly, and there's an institutional smell in the air. There's light coming in under the door, but no handle on this side. I can't see a window, but there's a slight draft coming in from somewhere.
The initial room is the subject’s childhood. What interests us here is the general atmosphere of the room, in addition to the level of furnishings described by the subject. An uncomfortable room suggests a childhood that was devoid of happiness. No furnishings at all tells of either a complete absence of memories from that time or active suppression of said memories.
You wanted to leave the room.
The subject wanted to become an adult.
This is how you described the forest:
It's dark. I can't see too far ahead of me, but I can make out the trees close to me. They're mostly willows, with a few oaks amongst them. They all seem to be dead, or dying. A thick carpet of leaves covers the ground.
The forest is growing up, and the trees are those adults with whom the subject interacted at that time. A very dark forest tells us that the subject felt considerably oppressed by the attentions of the adults. Stunted, damaged, or absent trees imply a dearth of adult interaction with the subject.
This is how you described the path:
The path is just a slightly worn trail on the dead humus. It's not very wide, and not very well-traveled. It doesn't look like anyone's been through here in quite some time.
Adolescence is represented by the path through the forest. The lack of evidence of fellow travelers suggests strong feelings of isolation at that time. Poor visibility of the path tells us the subject was often confused by the changes brought on by adolescence. A narrow path suggests that the subject had limited options for emotional growth at this time.
This is how you described the water:
It's a stream, murky and clouded. Looks like it's runoff from some larger river, maybe. It's only ankle deep at most.
The water is the subject’s sexuality. What interests us here is the clarity of the water (representing attitude) and its movement (representing libido). Murky, dirty, or otherwise unclear water suggests that the subject has significant issues regarding sex. Slow, gently moving water suggests a passive, restrained, calm sex drive.
When you came to the water, you crossed it.
The subject is open to new sexual experiences.
This is how you described the cup:
It's a battered old tin cup, with the handle broken loose on the bottom. I can't tell if there's anything in it.
The vessel, or specifically the practicality of the vessel, is how the subject approaches marriage or bonding. A practical container indicates that the subject is pragmatic when it comes to questions of marriage.
You took the cup but left it empty.
The subject is interested in marriage, but sex won’t be a significant part of that relationship.
This is how you described the key:
It's a rusty, iron key. Looks like it'd open a dungeon in an old Hammer film. I can't see anything it'd work on around here.
The key is the ideal career for the subject. What interests us here is how the key appears (representing how others view the career) and what it may open (representing the subject’s goals for the career). Old-fashioned keys suggest that the subject desires a traditional career. Magical or fantastic keys suggest that the subject has unreasonably high expectations of what will result from a career.
You avoided the bear.
In a crisis, the subject prefers the indirect, non-confrontational approach.
When you came to the wall, you tried to go around it.
The wall represents death: by trying to walk around it, the subject shows an acknowledgment of death, but also a need for an alternative to its finality, such as an afterlife or reincarnation.
