This is how you described the room:
The room is warm because the fire place is on. It has one couch and two chairs.
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:
The forest is bright, and there are many animals around. The trees are tall. It is full of life.
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 road is narrow and it is abandoned. You could barely see it, but it isn't a horrible path.
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 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 like a stressed person...going fast because they have so much to do, yet fighting itself to slow down, like the currents.
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 dirty and old.
The vessel, or specifically the practicality of the vessel, is how the subject approaches marriage or bonding. That the container is refuse or damaged suggests a cynicism about the institution.
You left the cup behind.
The subject is not interested in marriage.
This is how you described the key:
The key is made of pure gold. It unlocks some sort of treasure.
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). Decorative keys suggest that the subject wants an attention-grabbing, one-of-a-kind career. Keys that allow access to treasure or other valuable things indicate that the subject is fixated on gaining wealth through a career.
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.
