This is how you described the room:
The room is warm and comfortable. There is a haze of sunshine peeking through the window blinds. The furnishings are dark wood and rich deep colors-- nothing too bright or load. It feels like old money- velvety and cultured.
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 depth of description tells us that the subject has strong memories of childhood.
You wanted to leave the room.
The subject wanted to become an adult.
This is how you described the forest:
Large towering trees surround everywhere. Their foliage is thick and it blocks out the light so all is dark.
The forest is growing up, and the trees are those adults with whom the subject interacted at that time. A very dark forest tells us that the subject felt considerably oppressed by the attentions of the adults. Tall trees imply that the adults had a strong influence on the subject.
This is how you described the path:
The path is well traveled but littered with broken tree limbs, leaves, holes in the path and it's quite narrow and winding.
Adolescence is represented by the path through the forest. Lots of obstructions on the path indicate many 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. A narrow path suggests that the subject had limited options for emotional growth at this time.
This is how you described the water:
A natural body of water, rapidly moving down the center-- a swift moving stream. The banks of the stream have still pools of water, seemingly untouched by the rapid water in the middle of the stream. The water is cool and inviting.
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. The still pools could represent recent periods of self-imposed inactivity.
When you came to the water, you crossed it.
The subject is open to new sexual experiences.
This is how you described the cup:
The water vessel is old and rugged, made of leather and obviously a well used canteen.
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 looks like a small locket key or skeleton key-- something someone might use for a hope chest or small lock. I think it unlocks a small box.
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). An ordinary-looking key suggests that the subject desires a nondescript 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 jumped over it.
The wall represents death: by jumping over it, the subject not only acknowledges death but has come to accept its finality.
