The room is very warm. I awake covered with a big fluffy handmade quilt. There is much artwork on the walls including beautiful paintings, and pictures of family members. A big fire burns in the fireplace. I am warm and comfortable. There is very little furniture...one couch and one chair, a rocking chair.

I am in a very thick forest. The trees loom above me. I have difficulty seeing where I am going because it is so dark. There are lots of very very tall trees, as well as lots of sticker brush. I have difficulty finding my way, as there really is not a path. I try to guess at which way to go.

The path is barely visible. It seems no one has ever traveled it before. I have a great deal of difficulty navigating my way. I do not see any sign of a path or trail through the forest.

I find myself at a natural river. Where I am standing the river is fairly calm, but I can see a very very tall waterfall in the distance. The water crashes at the bottom of the waterfall, then is calm by the time it reaches the point where I am. The water is beautifully clear and blue. I see fish leaping out of the water in big arcs. It looks clear enough to drink.

The waterfall upstream could represent a more voracious libido in the past.

It is silver in color, and looks somewhat like a canteen. It looks very new...no rust spots or dirt spots. The lid easily screws off.

The key is gold in color,and looks like your average house key. I think it unlocks someone's house, and they accidently dropped it on the path.
