This is how you described the room:
The room had a warm feeling with a creamy peach color to the walls and huge windows with hunter green blinds covering them. The walls had a vine and grape border across the top which would cascade down to the windows and across the wide frames surrounding them. There was pictures and ornaments of Dragons placed around the room. My dragon puzzle and the wire vine candle holders with the cascading rose vines placed on each side of the puzzle were hanging above a fire place with a large mantle. Dragon statues complimented the mantle nicely and the fireplace gave off a warm glow to the cozy room.
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 (97.02%). Note the extremely inviting surroundings of the room. This suggests a childhood filled with joy (84.96%).
You wanted to stay in the room.
The subject did not want to grow up.
This is how you described the forest:
The trees seemed to tower above me. They were large trees that seemed to steal the sun from the sky and make the entrance to the forest very dark and very ominus looking. I felt a cold chill run up my spine as I stepped closer.
The forest is growing up, and the trees are those adults with whom the subject interacted at that time. A very dark forest tells us that the subject felt considerably oppressed by the attentions of the adults (97.45%). Tall trees imply that the adults had a strong influence on the subject (89.37%).
This is how you described the path:
There was a path that lead into the forest that looked like it would be very easy to follow but I proceeded with caution. The path was just a dirt path that looked well used because it was well worn with patches of short grass growing over it. The path was wide enough for a small horsedrawn cart to go thru and the edges were cleared enough so two could pass with just a small space between them. The path was covered with leaves from the previous seasons and the odd falled tree to climb over. The path became darker further into the forest but was still light enough to see where I was going.
Adolescence is represented by the path through the forest. A narrow path suggests that the subject had limited options for emotional growth at this time (99.74%). Poor visibility of the path tells us the subject was often confused by the changes brought on by adolescence (96.86%). The lack of evidence of fellow travelers suggests strong feelings of isolation at that time (99.99%). That the path is free of obstructions indicates that the subject had no problems during adolescence (100.00%).
This is how you described the water:
I followed the path to a water fall that cascaded down from somewhere above. I reached out and the water was very cold and I leaned forward to take a drink. It was very refreshing and the cold water was very good from the long walk. The water must be coming from a sping high up in the mountains because it was very clear and tasted very yummy. The water fall continued down a small creek that seemed to twist off into the forest.
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 (100.00%). Fast-moving water indicates a strong, active sex drive (59.55%).
When you came to the water, you crossed it.
The subject is open to new sexual experiences.
This is how you described the cup:
I looked around and find a shiny silver cup sitting on a rock close to the creek. I pick it up and notice it is just like new and didnt look like it had been there for very long. I looked around for anyone who might be there and called out but there was no answer.
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 (99.99%).
You left the cup behind.
The subject is not interested in marriage.
This is how you described the key:
I turn from the cup and start to walk down the path when i notice a small metal key lying in the path. I bend down and pick it up, The key had a round top with a small gold vine etched in it that wound down and stopped above the piece that unlocks its lock. The key looked like and old chest key or maybe an old door key.
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 (99.94%). Old-fashioned keys suggest that the subject desires a traditional career (63.57%).
You confronted the bear.
In a crisis, the subject prefers the direct, no-nonsense approach.
When you came to the wall, you tried to go around it.
The wall represents death: by trying to walk around it, the subject shows an acknowledgment of death, but also a need for an alternative to its finality, such as an afterlife or reincarnation.
AngelBlue says: This was pretty cool and was fun to do as well
