This is how you described the room:
The room is warm with white walls, a low ceiling with oak wood beams and a small window. There is a comfy bed with white bedding with a pattern of small pink flowers.
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 stay in the room.
The subject did not want to grow up.
This is how you described the forest:
It's bright and warm but with a slight breeze. The trees are oaks and pines and there is a lot of grass and plenty of wild flowers.
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. Tall trees imply that the adults had a strong influence on the subject.
This is how you described the path:
The path is fairly narrow but well travelled. It is clearly marked and is welcoming.
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 narrow path suggests that the subject had limited options for emotional growth at this time.
This is how you described the water:
It is a very shallow stream with soft, brown water and stepping stones. It is about 20 feet wide but can be crossed in bare feet.
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:
A tall blue 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 left the cup behind.
The subject is not interested in marriage.
This is how you described the key:
It looks like the key to someone's cottage though it is quite rusty and may not have been used for some time
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. Having the key open a house, car, or other commonplace use tells us that the subject has no extraordinary expectations about a career.
You confronted the bear.
In a crisis, the subject prefers the direct, no-nonsense 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.
