This is how you described the room:
It is a little chilly. There are desks all around with a chalk board up front. The fluorescent lights are off. The trash cans are empty. It is light in the room since the sun is coming into the many windows. The bulletin board are colorful with lovely boarders off leaves and jungle scenes. There are two teachers desks with lots of papers on them.
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. The depth of description tells us that the subject has strong memories of childhood.
You wanted to stay in the room.
The subject did not want to grow up.
This is how you described the forest:
The forest is alive with many dark leaves thick on the trees that gives a pine and woodsy smell. There is a lot of fallen leaves as a carpet for the forest. Many different kinds of trees, some pine trees that are huge and many eucalyptus trees that are towering high in the sky with bright green and yellow leaves. There are weeping widow trees that drape down low to the ground. I see big strong oak trees with large branches their leaves are turning colors and are starting to fall.
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. Average-sized trees imply the normal influence adults have on a child: neither insignificant nor impressive.
This is how you described the path:
The path is easy to follow. It looks like many animals have followed it, it is about three feet wide. Some areas are not as wide as others since there are large rocks in the way. You also need to watch out for the trees that hang down low so you need to bend down so you won't hit your head on the branches. The animals that use this trail are not always very tall.
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 visibility of the path tells us that the subject had a good idea of what to expect from adolescence. A wide path indicates that the subject had numerous options for emotional growth at this time.
This is how you described the water:
The path runs into a large waterfall that is very high and wide but you are able to go behind it. You need to keep very close to the mountain and rocks. The water is very cold and you feel the misty waters falling on your face. The water is very blue and clear and when it lands in the big pool at the bottom it foams up with white foam. The water is so clear that you can see fish swimming in the large pool with shrubs that line the pool and many large rocks for the fish to hide in and around them. The waterfall is a natural and beautiful falls.
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. The presence of life in or around the water indicates a strong desire for children. Rushing, violent water indicates a powerful, vigorous, and quite possibly compulsive sex drive.
When you came to the water, you went around it.
The subject is not interested in new sexual experiences.
This is how you described the cup:
The vessel I found is an old wooden bowl that was hand carved for drinking. It was in its natural wood not painted but has been lovely carved with animal scenes on its sides. It was left on a granite boulder next to a stream of clear blue and green water. A very lovely spot with shrubs and trees that line the stream. The bowl must of been someone's prized glass for the carvings were beautifully done. The animals on it were deer and rabbits which were walking next to a stream. The wood was oak and very preserved in its natural state. It looked like it had been rubbed with some kind of oil to keep it from cracking it was very smooth to the touch. It was also very inviting, you wanted to pick it up and use 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 left the cup behind.
The subject is not interested in marriage.
This is how you described the key:
The key that I found was an old gold church key. It was very large with flower scenes with a beautiful long blue and red velvet ribbon with its ends sewed together with a tassel at each end. It must be a key to unlock an old door of some kind, a castle or an old house or fortress.
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. Keys to palaces, castles, and other fortifications are normally indicative of a desire for power.
You avoided the bear.
In a crisis, the subject prefers the indirect, non-confrontational approach.
When you came to the wall, you jumped over it.
The wall represents death: by jumping over it, the subject not only acknowledges death but has come to accept its finality.
