This is how you described the room:
It is a room that is not cold or warm. It has yellow walls with flowers on top. My white shelf is in the corner.
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. The items in the room are average, which tells us that the subject has the normal memories of childhood.
You wanted to leave the room.
The subject wanted to become an adult.
This is how you described the forest:
It is a dark, thick forest that is full of tall pine trees. There is fog in the forest.
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:
It is a very wide dirt path. It is rarely traveled but looks familiar.
Adolescence is represented by the path through the forest. The lack of evidence of fellow travelers suggests strong feelings of isolation at that time. A wide path indicates that the subject had numerous options for emotional growth at this time.
This is how you described the water:
The water is like whitewater with white caps over the areas where the water passes over the rocks. It has a fast moving current and it is fairly shallow water.
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. 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:
It is a small, light blue/green plastic cup with a ring around it.
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:
It is a small copper key. I think it unlocks a chest.
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. Having the key open a house, car, or other commonplace use tells us that the subject has no extraordinary expectations about a career.
You avoided the bear.
In a crisis, the subject prefers the indirect, non-confrontational approach.
When you came to the wall, you tried to go around it.
The wall represents death: by trying to walk around it, the subject shows an acknowledgment of death, but also a need for an alternative to its finality, such as an afterlife or reincarnation.
