This is how you described the room:
The room is dark, damp, and cool. The floor is made of wooden planks thrown haphazardly down, and nailed into place with wooden pegs. It looks as though it was once rough, but through years of use it has been polished to smooth perfection. The wall against my back is of rough stone, perhaps natural in origin or maybe cut from the mountains with a hammer and chisel. In the darkness it is hard to tell.
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. A very uncomfortable room suggests a highly traumatic childhood. 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 sunlight streaming though the forest catches and plays along the maple's golden leaves. The smell of autumn is in the air, drifting between the trunks like perfume. The trees are widely spaced and orderly. This section of the small forest has either been touched by God or marred by the hand of man to achieve such organization.
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. 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 hardly a path at all, for the trees are spaced so that one could wander for hours without direction though the tall trees without stumbling, simply enjoying the sounds of life.
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. Poor visibility of the path tells us the subject was often confused by the changes brought on by adolescence.
This is how you described the water:
Near the northern edge of the grove, a wide and shallow river has worn its way though a large worked stone, cutting it in half, and creating a beautiful waterfall. The soft roar of the falls, echos in my ears, filling me with delight. Though beautiful, a sadness touches my heart. The river could be so much more, so much faster and powerful had not man tired to alter its course with the hard stone. Yet the fact the river has endured, and the stone has not, should be a lasting testament that hope does spring eternal and beauty will triumph over greed.
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:
A delicate crystal goblet lay on its side here, resting amid the soft earth. Its delicate beauty speaks of a time long ago, when honor, truth and beauty were each beheld in their own right. It sits, placed perhaps, as a reminder of days gone by. The light reflects upon its soft peach surface, playing upon it, picking out golden highlights, almost begging you to lift it from its resting spot and behold it in the full light of day.
The vessel, or specifically the practicality of the vessel, is how the subject approaches marriage or bonding. A decorative container indicates that the subject views marriage as a romantic adventure.
You left the cup behind.
The subject is not interested in marriage.
This is how you described the key:
The key lay shinning upon the path, breaking the sunlight into a million silver shards, drawing my eyes to it. It is sharp and well defined, looking none the worse for wear and tear, looks almost defiant, almost saying "I will defy the elements and last until someone takes me and uses me for my intended purpose". The key opens many doors, and speaks to me of things yet to come. Its beauty and defiance serve as an example to me showing me the things it will take to excel and survive behind the door I open with it.
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. Versatile keys tell us that the subject has numerous but unfocused expectations about a career.
You confronted the bear.
In a crisis, the subject prefers the direct, no-nonsense 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.
