This is how you described the room:

The room is warm- it is welcoming. There are two white leather sofas that seem to want to swallow you when you sit on them. There is a small fireplace with a fire burning.

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. The significant detail in the description of the room tells us that the subject has rich, lasting memories of childhood (99.89%). This comfortable room suggests a childhood that was pleasant (99.58%).

You wanted to stay in the room.

The subject did not want to grow up.

This is how you described the forest:

There are trees that reach up towards the sky. It is bright, the sun is shining.

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 (48.33%). Tall trees imply that the adults had a strong influence on the subject (82.99%).

This is how you described the path:

The path is clear. It isn't well travelled- there is moss underfoot in some places. The path is wide and clearly marked

Adolescence is represented by the path through the forest. A wide path indicates that the subject had numerous options for emotional growth at this time (98.15%). The visibility of the path tells us that the subject had a good idea of what to expect from adolescence (99.68%). 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 (97.78%). That the path is free of obstructions indicates that the subject had no problems during adolescence (99.35%).

This is how you described the water:

It is a small stream. The water is perfectly clear, running over pebbles and with a mossy bank. It bends slightly as it moves, but it more or less straight.

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 (99.89%). The movement of the water suggests a normal, average if somewhat playful sex drive (99.09%).

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 mug. It is white with blue flowers hand painted onto it.

The vessel, or specifically the practicality of the vessel, is how the subject approaches marriage or bonding. A container that is both decorative and practical indicates that the subject considers both romantic and pragmatic aspects of marriage (94.92%).

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:

The key is gold and ornate with a red glittering jewel (possibly a ruby) in the handle

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). Having the key open a house, car, or other commonplace use tells us that the subject has no extraordinary expectations about a career (35.95%). Decorative keys suggest that the subject wants an attention-grabbing, one-of-a-kind career (99.89%).

You confronted the bear.

In a crisis, the subject prefers the direct, no-nonsense 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.
