This is how you described the room:
The room is cold. It has a rose colored rug over a wood floor. Lots of windows with white curtains. An antique height 4 poster bed and a rocking chair.
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. Few, simple furnishings tells us that the subject has few memories of that time.
You wanted to leave the room.
The subject wanted to become an adult.
This is how you described the forest:
It is a pine forest on the side of a mountain. The trees are spaced far enough apart so you can see quite a way off. It is a sunny day.
The forest is growing up, and the trees are those adults with whom the subject interacted at that time. A well-lit forest tells us that the subject had considerable freedom at this time. Tall trees imply that the adults had a strong influence on the subject.
This is how you described the path:
The path is is rocky and fairly steep but you can see where it goes.
Adolescence is represented by the path through the forest. A few, scattered obstructions indicate the occasional problem in adolescence, but nothing consistent nor insurmountable. The visibility of the path tells us that the subject had a good idea of what to expect from adolescence.
This is how you described the water:
The path ends at a small, mountain stream that is rushing down the hill. It is cold, melted snow.
The water is the subject’s sexuality. What interests us here is the clarity of the water (representing attitude) and its movement (representing libido). Clear water tells us that the subject has no issues regarding sex. Fast-moving water indicates a strong, active 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 small pottery vessel like an Egyptian oil lamp.
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 left the cup behind.
The subject is not interested in marriage.
This is how you described the key:
The key is a small brass one that opens a chest.
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 turned around and walked back along the path.
The wall represents death: by avoiding it altogether, the subject shows complete denial about the possibility of death.
