This is how you described the room:
Dark, cold, functional. A single table stands in the corner. The light flickers when turned on. You can tell it's windy outside by the gusts that come in through the cracks in the windowframe. The walls are bare plaster.
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. A very uncomfortable room suggests a highly traumatic childhood. No furnishings at all tells of either a complete absence of memories from that time or active suppression of said memories.
You wanted to stay in the room.
The subject did not want to grow up.
This is how you described the forest:
Tall fir trees. Densely packed. It is dim, though you can eaily see the path. In the far distance some animal is walking through the trees. You cannot tell what it is. You can hear birds and insects though not see them.
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. Tall trees imply that the adults had a strong influence on the subject.
This is how you described the path:
The path is easy to follow although there are many rocks and potholes in it. It is not heavily used but the grass is not able to grow on it. It must be travelled single-file
Adolescence is represented by the path through the forest. Lots of obstructions on the path indicate many problems during adolescence. The lack of evidence of fellow travelers suggests strong feelings of isolation at that 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:
There is a waterfall ending in a pool. The waterfall is tall but narrow and the water is clear. You could put your face into the stream of water if you wished. The pool is too wide to jump across, although it would be easy to swim. The rock face of the fall is undercut and you can walk behind the falling water. There are no fish.
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. Fast-moving water indicates a strong, active 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:
The cup is a simple metal cylinder with one end missing. Its handle is a D-shaped piece of the same metal. It is shiny, but not mirrorlike. Although it appears to be quite old it is not tarnished or corroded.
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 left the cup behind.
The subject is not interested in marriage.
This is how you described the key:
The key is an impressive-looking large, iron warded key. It is heavy and cold to the touch. There is moss or lichen growing on it and it is slightly corroded. Whatever it unlocks is as impressive as the key.
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. Keys to palaces, castles, and other fortifications are normally indicative of a desire for power.
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.
