This is how you described the room:
The room is in a palace. It has a huge four-poster bed, with thick, soft blankets. There are rich tapestries on the wall. There are exquisite furnishings around the room like a carved dresser and night tables, and chairs. There are beautiful paintings on the walls.
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. Note the extremely inviting surroundings of the room. This suggests a childhood filled with joy. The depth of description tells us that the subject has strong memories of childhood.
You wanted to leave the room.
The subject wanted to become an adult.
This is how you described the forest:
The trees have fallen down on the ground and decaying. Some stand, but not many. The forest is overgrown with vines and moss. Plenty of light gets through, it is very bright.
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. Stunted, damaged, or absent trees imply a dearth of adult interaction with the subject.
This is how you described the path:
The path is clear and well defined. It is easy to see, wide in some places, narrow in others. It is well-travelled, and there are other people walking along the path with me.
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.
This is how you described the water:
It is an ocean. The waves are crashing and racing. It is clear blue. There are starfish on the beach.
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. The presence of life in or around the water indicates a strong desire for children. Rushing, violent water indicates a powerful, vigorous, and quite possibly compulsive 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:
It is a sort of like a wine glass, but it is translucent blue. Its made from glass. Very pretty, but very delicate.
The vessel, or specifically the practicality of the vessel, is how the subject approaches marriage or bonding. A decorative container indicates that the subject views marriage as a romantic adventure.
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:
It is a special key, brass and ornate. It unlocks a palace.
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 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 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.
