This is how you described the room:
I'm sitting up in a high bed with a white down comforter and wooden bedposts. The walls are white and the floor is a plush cream carpet. Pastel accents the room and the rest of the furniture matches the bed - white plush mixed with wood.
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 room is neither comfortable nor uncomfortable; this suggests the subject had a bland, uninspiring childhood. The significant detail in the description of the room tells us that the subject has rich, lasting memories of childhood.
You wanted to stay in the room.
The subject did not want to grow up.
This is how you described the forest:
Tall pines cover the sky, though beams of sunlight filter through the canopy to the pine needle-covered floor. The strong scent of pine is in the air.
The forest is growing up, and the trees are those adults with whom the subject interacted at that time. Average lighting tells us that the subject received enough attention from the adults to be guided but not oppressed. Tall trees imply that the adults had a strong influence on the subject.
This is how you described the path:
The path is through the forest, clear of obstructions. It is neither wide or narrow and is largely abandoned save a few who know the way. It is clearly marked through the pine needles and the tan earth can be seen though the edges blur occasionally.
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. 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:
There is a small pool of water at the end of the path and sunlight shines fully onto it. The source of the water seems to be trickling through rocks and it is clear and still.
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. 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 went around it.
The subject is not interested in new sexual experiences.
This is how you described the cup:
It is a medium-sized waterskin that can be closed. Possibly made from some animal's bladder, though thoroughly clean. :)
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 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 small, golden antique key. It has a lace ribbon tied to it as sort of a bracelet. It looks like it unlocks a chest or a small music box/jewelry box.
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 diaries, hope chests, or other highly personal items suggest that the subject wants a career that will solve other people’s problems.
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.
