This is how you described the room:

The room is covered with very detailed baah relief, depicting plants and leaves, and colored with a spectrum of colors. A pleasant incense is burning beautifully designed alcoves in the wall, blending in perfectly with the relief. There are many arab rugs on the floor as well as very large plush pillows, to sit on. In the center, a small fountain trickles. the air cool and crisp.

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 (81.93%). This comfortable room suggests a childhood that was pleasant (55.82%).

You wanted to leave the room.

The subject wanted to become an adult.

This is how you described the forest:

The forest is full of dead, gnarled, trees, a few a alive but most dead. Many have fallen an lay as rotting logs, from which insect peer. A heavy mist shrouds the forest, obscuring the sun, leaving the world colorless and gray. The air is thick with mist, and clings to all things leaving them damp and chilled.

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 (76.71%). Average-sized trees imply the normal influence adults have on a child: neither insignificant nor impressive (96.75%).

This is how you described the path:

The path leads only a few feet, before a fallen tree crosses it. Leaving the path difficult to traverse, and the destination completely obscured. The path was once well travelled, but it is clear no one has used it in a great many years.

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 (85.00%). Poor visibility of the path tells us the subject was often confused by the changes brought on by adolescence (54.63%). The lack of evidence of fellow travelers suggests strong feelings of isolation at that time (99.31%). A few, scattered obstructions indicate the occasional problem in adolescence, but nothing consistent nor insurmountable (92.33%).

This is how you described the water:

The path ends in a steaming pool of water, from an underground hotspring. The water is almost hot to the touch, but soothing. The water while clear, has a peculiar, but not unpleasant taste, that restores the will, to continue.

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 (99.96%). The movement of the water suggests a normal, average if somewhat playful sex drive (51.33%).

When you came to the water, you crossed it.

The subject is open to new sexual experiences.

This is how you described the cup:

On the other side, standing upright as if someone had just set it down, is a chalice of red wine. The chalice is made of delicate crystal, with a lip of gold around the top. It is very delicate and ornate.

The vessel, or specifically the practicality of the vessel, is how the subject approaches marriage or bonding. A decorative container indicates that the subject views marriage as a romantic adventure (100.00%).

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:

In the path, under some pine needles is a unusual key. The key is the shape of a old jailor's key but is made out of the smoothest glass and its edges are rounded. Etched in the glass are unknown symbols. Hieroglyphs of unknown origin. Perhaps this opens a gateway to a new world.

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 (49.55%). Decorative keys suggest that the subject wants an attention-grabbing, one-of-a-kind career (96.70%).

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.
