This is how you described the room:
It's a warm room. Lot's of furniture. Very squishy furniture. Bold, dark colors. Lots of light/windows.
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:
Tall, mature temperate trees. The ground of the forest is fairly thick except for the trail because there is a lot of light filtering down. Especially where an old tree has just recently fallen maybe a couple years ago.
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. The extra light from the fallen tree (loss of guardian?) is a bit disturbing.
This is how you described the path:
Wide, well travelled, wood-chipped path. Fades as it goes into the forest. But is clearly still there for as far as I can see.
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. 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. The visibility of the path tells us that the subject had a good idea of what to expect from adolescence. A wide path indicates that the subject had numerous options for emotional growth at this time.
This is how you described the water:
Natural river. Clear water. Shallow. lots of rocks that the water bubbles over the surface of.
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:
Cup made out of wood, simple. full of clear clean water
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:
Simple, old, skeleton key. Unlocks a gate somewhere around here.
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. Indicating that the key accesses something along the path (the subject’s history) suggests that a career is to solve a life-problem.
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.
