This is how you described the room:
The first thing I notice as I stick my head out from under the covers is the nip in the air. It's just the right sleeping weather.
The furnishings are made of polished mahogany. The bedside table holds a hurricane lamp and a box of matches. On the opposite wall, French doors open out onto a stone balcony. The general colour scheme is rose and gold, mostly shown in rich brocades.
In the sitting area, a grey tabby sleeps curled up on one of the chairs.
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. This comfortable room suggests a childhood that was pleasant. The significant detail in the description of the room tells us that the subject has rich, lasting 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 trees are large and deciduous, with dense, green undergrowth. The sunlight is quite bright where it dapples the ground, and the breeze rustling through the leaves creates an ever-moving wash of light.
The forest is growing up, and the trees are those adults with whom the subject interacted at that time. That the forest is very bright tells us that the subject had extensive freedom while growing up. 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 narrow, but clear. One person can travel easily, and by the looks of it, it is oft-travelled. The brush grows close, occasionally extending a branch or vine across the path.
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 strong evidence of fellow travelers tells us that the subject received a lot of support from friends and family during that potentially troubling time. The visibility of the path tells us that the subject had a good idea of what to expect from adolescence. A narrow path suggests that the subject had limited options for emotional growth at this time.
This is how you described the water:
The river is broad and, judging by the ripples in the center, quite swift. The path ends on a pebbly bank, which leads into the rapidly deepening water. Clear and clean, you can see that the water is probably not much deeper than waist-high, though. A tree hangs low over the water near the path's end.
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 more of a glass bowl than a cup, deep and round. The crystal casts rainbow shards at the faintest hint of light, and the effect is only magnified by the clear water I fill it with.
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 took the cup and filled it.
The subject is interested in marriage, and sex will be a significant part of that relationship.
This is how you described the key:
The key is one of those large, gilded keys, set with rubies. It hangs on a thin gold chain.
The point of the key is not to know what it unlocks, but to be able to open it when I find 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. The purpose of the key is very interesting: we see that the subject views the career not as a source of fulfillment, but as a means of obtaining something else that will bring fulfillment.
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.
