This is how you described the room:
The room is cold and grey, sparsely furnished with white blinds, light streaming through them creating sharp patterns in the otherwise fuzzy atmosphere.
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:
It is a dark forest, with tall, stately trees interspersed with smaller, gnarled ones. The leaves are wilted and create a dark floor.
The forest is growing up, and the trees are those adults with whom the subject interacted at that time. A very dark forest tells us that the subject felt considerably oppressed by the attentions of the adults. The tall trees represent strongly influential adults, while the gnarled ones represent adults that were ineffectual.
This is how you described the path:
The path swerves greatly, like a strange maze throughout the surreal forest, abandoned and barely visible.
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. 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:
The water is a murky pond, with golden fish glittering in it like bright gems.
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. The presence of life in or around the water indicates a strong desire for children. 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:
It is a worn water bottle, made of leather and half-full of clear 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 left the cup behind.
The subject is not interested in marriage.
This is how you described the key:
The key is huge and rusted, sharply angled and faded. It may or may not unlock anything at all.
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. Versatile keys tell us that the subject has numerous but unfocused expectations about 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.
