This is how you described the room:
The room is cold and from the excessively high bed mattress I can see the sun pouring in the Irish lace covered windows. It is a winter morning, I'm at my parents house who I rarely visit. It must be Christmas. The room has only the bed and a dresser. A simple and small guest room.
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:
The Forest is dense with growth and has all different kinds of trees growing in it. Bushes large and small make traveling a straight line impossible. I spot a single redwood among the oaks and maples and other sorts of trees. The redwood it thick compared to the other trees but small a redwoods go. With all the plant life the lighting is scattered about the woods.
The forest is growing up, and the trees are those adults with whom the subject interacted at that time. Average lighting tells us that the subject received enough attention from the adults to be guided but not oppressed. Tall trees imply that the adults had a strong influence on the subject.
This is how you described the path:
The path is visible but not very wide, it wanders about avoiding the large and small bushes. You have to duck under branches at times. It is perhaps just a deer trail.
Adolescence is represented by the path through the forest. That plants are the major source of obstructions tells us that the subject’s problems arose mostly from interactions with adults. The lack of evidence of fellow travelers suggests strong feelings of isolation at that time. The visibility of the path tells us that the subject had a good idea of what to expect from adolescence. A narrow path suggests that the subject had limited options for emotional growth at this time.
This is how you described the water:
I'm at the runoff point for a dam that is just upstream from where I stand. The water is moving quickly by me. It is white with foam from falling from the spillway. It is clear that it was once a natural stream that has been modified for man's use. The water looks OK but I wouldn't drink it if I were you.
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. Rushing, violent water indicates a powerful, vigorous, and quite possibly compulsive 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 an old Budweiser beer can that someone carelessly tossed out there car window and found it's way down to here.
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. That the beer can is refuse possibly hints at a bit of the misogamist in the subject.
You left the cup behind.
The subject is not interested in marriage.
This is how you described the key:
It's a Stanley key so it probably goes to someone's home or garage. But, I don't see a house, or do I?
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). An ordinary-looking key suggests that the subject desires a nondescript career. Having the key open a house, car, or other commonplace use tells us that the subject has no extraordinary expectations about 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.
