This is how you described the room:
The room is stark, white and grey are the predominant colors. The room is filled with an even light. There are lots of windows all around. The only furniture is a bed low to the floor.
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. Few, simple furnishings tells us that the subject has few memories of that time (46.80%). This comfortable room suggests a childhood that was pleasant (84.02%).
You wanted to stay in the room.
The subject did not want to grow up.
This is how you described the forest:
Large trees. Thick trunks. Dense forest. Knarled branches covered with a moist bright yellow green moss. It is intense in lush colors of green. It is dark but comforting.
The forest is growing up, and the trees are those adults with whom the subject interacted at that time. A semi-dark forest tells us that the subject felt somewhat oppressed by the attention the adults gave (88.15%). Average-sized trees imply the normal influence adults have on a child: neither insignificant nor impressive (85.64%).
This is how you described the path:
The bath is easily navigated but it is narrow. It appears to be abandoned and is barely visible.
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 (99.21%). Poor visibility of the path tells us the subject was often confused by the changes brought on by adolescence (84.39%). The lack of evidence of fellow travelers suggests strong feelings of isolation at that time (98.74%). That the path is free of obstructions indicates that the subject had no problems during adolescence (98.33%).
This is how you described the water:
The water is clear and cool. It flows quickly and steadily over the rocks. The stream weaves in and out but overall is narrow.
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 (99.84%). The movement of the water suggests a normal, average if somewhat playful sex drive (59.99%).
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 pounded metal cup. It had two handles to grip either side. There seems to be a design on the exterior. It looks ancient and is quite heavy.
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 (80.97%).
You left the cup behind.
The subject is not interested in marriage.
This is how you described the key:
A large brass key with three loops on the top. A coat of arms appears on the key and the base has three large teeth.
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 (96.26%). Old-fashioned keys suggest that the subject desires a traditional career (95.49%).
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.
