This is how you described the room:
The room is warm, with big French windows and light, airy drapes. The walls are maroon.
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 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:
The trees are tall and have a lot of green leaves on them. The forest is not too thick - there is plenty of room to walk around. The sun is shining through the trees and onto the forest floor.
The forest is growing up, and the trees are those adults with whom the subject interacted at that time. A well-lit forest tells us that the subject had considerable freedom at this time. Tall trees imply that the adults had a strong influence on the subject.
This is how you described the path:
The path is easily navigated, not extremely wide, but comfortable enough to walk with two people. It is a barely visible 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. Poor visibility of the path tells us the subject was often confused by the changes brought on by adolescence. A wide path indicates that the subject had numerous options for emotional growth at this time.
This is how you described the water:
It is a natural river, flowing softly over some rocks. The water is cool, but not too cold, and very clear.
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 movement of the water suggests a normal, average if somewhat playful 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 simple but elegant wine glass.
The vessel, or specifically the practicality of the vessel, is how the subject approaches marriage or bonding. A container that is both decorative and practical indicates that the subject considers both romantic and pragmatic aspects 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 large, gold, and ornate. It seems to belong to a large treasure chest, or an old mansion.
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. Keys that allow access to treasure or other valuable things indicate that the subject is fixated on gaining wealth through a career.
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.
