This is how you described the room:
Hot and stuffy. Dark and the walls are furry like a black bear. There are a few sprung sofas to sit on. They are damp.
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. Few, simple furnishings tells us that the subject has few memories of that time.
You wanted to leave the room.
The subject wanted to become an adult.
This is how you described the forest:
Thin trees and the ground is dry. The ground is level. There are only saplings and some stumpy growth. Two or three large trees in the distance. Cooler forest ahead without so much sun. The ground has low hills and valleys in the forest up ahead.
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. Small trees imply that the adults had a weak influence on the subject. Note that the subject describes this freedom in a negative tone.
This is how you described the path:
There is no path here, my feet hurt from pushing through. The ground is level.
Adolescence is represented by the path through the forest. Lots of obstructions on the path indicate many 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:
A large lake that has a small ripples, at one side the water breaks through, it is sharp and I can't see it for a while but the roar is frightening. Then it turns into a rushing stream with fish and is very lovely, crisp.
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. The presence of life in or around the water indicates a strong desire for children. Rushing, violent water indicates a powerful, vigorous, and quite possibly compulsive 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:
Wooden, cracked like it has been left in the water too long and when taken out it cracked as it dried.
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. That the cup is slightly cracked could indicate a touch of cynicism about the institution.
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:
Small, smooth warm iron key. It tastes of salt. It unlocks my heart.
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). Old-fashioned keys suggest that the subject desires a traditional career. Magical or fantastic keys suggest that the subject has unreasonably high expectations of what will result from 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.
