This is how you described the room:
Dark wood panels line the bookshelf lined walls of the room, reflecting the dancing light of the fireplace. An overstuffed dark green sofa and two tall-back dark leather chairs are the only furniture. An elaborate wine and midnight blue Indian rug covers the bare, polished wood floor.
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. 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 towers tall and dark above me. Thick tangled green vines blanket the forest floor, climbing up and engulfing the ancient oak trees.
The forest is growing up, and the trees are those adults with whom the subject interacted at that time. A semi-dark forest tells us that the subject felt somewhat oppressed by the attention the adults gave. Average-sized trees imply the normal influence adults have on a child: neither insignificant nor impressive. One is tempted to say that the vines represent the weaker adults overwhelming (by being over-demanding? by not playing an active role?) the stronger adults.
This is how you described the path:
The path through the forest is wide and blanketed with smoothed gravel. The growth of the forest hasn't encroached on the trail for an unapparent reason.
Adolescence is represented by the path through the forest. That the path is free of obstructions indicates that the subject had no problems during adolescence. 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 trail ends at the bank of a meandering creek. Crystal clear, icy water dances over a jumble of stones, creating a small rapids.
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:
An empty wine bottle lies on the banks of the creek, a remnant of some long passed picnic. The label is faded and worn off in places, but it is apparent the bottle once held a nice merlot.
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:
An ornate key, of the kind made in centuries past, it is forged of smooth iron. It looks like the key to an old-fashioned door lock.
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). Decorative keys suggest that the subject wants an attention-grabbing, one-of-a-kind 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.
