This is how you described the room:
The room is set up in a comfortable old fashioned room. There is a bed on one side of the room, a table against one wall, and a chair that looks out the window. The room is in between hot and cold since the sun is shining in the window.
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 room is neither comfortable nor uncomfortable; this suggests the subject had a bland, uninspiring childhood. Few, simple furnishings tells us that the subject has few memories of that time. he subject’s phrasing “between hot and cold” rather than the more succinct “warm” could suggest a childhood that bounced between tragic and wonderful. Also note the specific phrasing “set up,” as if the comfort is artificial.
You wanted to leave the room.
The subject wanted to become an adult.
This is how you described the forest:
The forest is green, there are tall trees and trees that are just beginning to grow. There are birch, cedar, and scotch pine trees growing in the forest. The forest is a little bit thick and thin at the same time. The forest is bright and the sun shines through the tress and makes shadows on the ground.
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 hard to see since it seems like it hasn't been used in a long time. The plants have started to grow over it, and I almost miss it and walk by it. The path seems like it has been there for a long time, and it is hard to navigate since it's hard to see. The path is wide like it was used by some sort of wagon or something.
Adolescence is represented by the path through the forest. That plants are the major source of obstructions tells us that the subject’s problems arose mostly from interactions with adults. The lack of evidence of fellow travelers suggests strong feelings of isolation at that time. Poor visibility of the path tells us the subject was often confused by the changes brought on by 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 water is the brightest blue I have ever seen. It's so pure since it hasn't reached a city yet. The water is a stream and I can see to the bottom of it. I can see all the pebbles on the bottom and the current is very relaxing since it's not moving to fast. It is nature made and it's so peaceful to be there.
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. Slow, gently moving water suggests a passive, restrained, calm 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:
The drinking vessel is an old tin cup like they used to use in the old days. The cup has a few dents in it, but it still catches the sunlight since it's shiny.
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 hanging on a branch of a tree by a string. The sun shines on it and it catches my attention since I never saw one before that was so magnificent in color. I take the key from the branch and look at it more closely and I can tell that the key is made of gold. It is an old fashioned key and it's just spectacular since finding something like this in the forest is hard to believe. I think that the key unlocks the door to an old house that was owned by a pioneer a long time ago.
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. At the risk of overanalysis, the mention of “pioneer” suggests that the subject may expect to forge new ground with the 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.
