This is how you described the room:
The room is quite cool, with a large picture window shut tight against the cold. The walls are bare, painted white, and the floor is nondescript carpet, rather rough to the touch. There is a low bed, uncomfortable and lumpy but with soft white sheets.
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. An uncomfortable room suggests a childhood that was devoid of happiness. Few, simple furnishings tells us that the subject has few memories of that time.
You wanted to stay in the room.
The subject did not want to grow up.
This is how you described the forest:
The trees are mostly short, oaks and other broad-leaf trees. It's very dim and quiet, and difficult to navigate.
The forest is growing up, and the trees are those adults with whom the subject interacted at that time. A semi-dark forest tells us that the subject felt somewhat oppressed by the attention the adults gave. Average-sized trees imply the normal influence adults have on a child: neither insignificant nor impressive.
This is how you described the path:
It probably isn't a human trail at all; it is narrow, aimless, awkward, and in places nonexistant.
Adolescence is represented by the path through the forest. A few, scattered obstructions indicate the occasional problem in adolescence, but nothing consistent nor insurmountable. 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:
A medium-sized pond, very deep and stagnant. The water is cold and murky.
The water is the subject’s sexuality. What interests us here is the clarity of the water (representing attitude) and its movement (representing libido). Murky, dirty, or otherwise unclear water suggests that the subject has significant issues regarding sex. Stagnant or still water suggests a sex drive that is absent or pathologically inactive, not by choice of the subject.
When you came to the water, you crossed it.
The subject is open to new sexual experiences.
This is how you described the cup:
An ordinary disposable plastic water bottle.
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:
A very large key, made of tarnished silver. It doesn't unlock anything.
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. Note that the key is worthless: this suggests that the subject is cynical about finding any satisfaction through a job.
You avoided the bear.
In a crisis, the subject prefers the indirect, non-confrontational approach.
When you came to the wall, you turned around and walked back along the path.
The wall represents death: by avoiding it altogether, the subject shows complete denial about the possibility of death.
