This is how you described the room:
The room is a relatively small room, with a really ugly two-tone paint job (white and brown) and some exposed pipes on the right (facing the back) side of the room. There is a small, spartan bed, made up with white bedding, and a small, cheap writing desk in the corner. It is comfortably warm.
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 leave the room.
The subject wanted to become an adult.
This is how you described the forest:
It is an evergreen forest, thickly grown with deep bluish-green trees. Everything is at least somewhat moist, and there is a bright, verdant feeling to it.
The forest is growing up, and the trees are those adults with whom the subject interacted at that time. A well-lit forest tells us that the subject had considerable freedom at this time. Average-sized trees imply the normal influence adults have on a child: neither insignificant nor impressive.
This is how you described the path:
The path is narrow, but well traveled. There doesn't seem to be any markings or obstructions, and it winds (as opposed to following a straight line) through the forest.
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. 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 small stream, relatively deep and quick-moving. The water is clear, and very cold - it is a high elevation and the water probably came from mountain meltwater.
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 movement of the water suggests a normal, average if somewhat playful 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 small bottle is earthen, very simple with no design. It is round, but it tapers to a neck and then curves out again for the mouth.
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 old and rusted, and is of the very old variety that is a shaft with one or more little rods coming off it like so. It unlocks a small hut made of stone.
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 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.
