This is how you described the room:

The room has wooden floorboards. The window is open and a breeze is blowing the white curtains. It is warm in the room. The bed has white sheets and a white duna cover. There is a chest of drawers in the corner.

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 items in the room are average, which tells us that the subject has the normal memories of childhood (72.71%). This comfortable room suggests a childhood that was pleasant (99.41%).

You wanted to leave the room.

The subject wanted to become an adult.

This is how you described the forest:

The forest has a lot of tall pine trees. The trail leading into the forest is dark, but it is a sunny day, so there is sunlight coming through the branches

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 (89.79%). Tall trees imply that the adults had a strong influence on the subject (99.73%).

This is how you described the path:

The path is narrow, but easy to navigate. There are few obstructions. It is well marked, so easy to follow.

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 (96.14%). The visibility of the path tells us that the subject had a good idea of what to expect from adolescence (97.91%). The lack of evidence of fellow travelers suggests strong feelings of isolation at that time (65.39%). That the path is free of obstructions indicates that the subject had no problems during adolescence (98.99%).

This is how you described the water:

It is a large lake. The water is very cold. It is moving very slowly. The lake is very deep.

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 (99.83%). Slow, gently moving water suggests a passive, restrained, calm sex drive (95.67%).

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 plastic cup with a plastic thermos flask. The thermos flask has a tartan pattern

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 (99.96%).

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 small, and golden. It looks like it would unlock an old style door.

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 (99.82%). Old-fashioned keys suggest that the subject desires a traditional career (86.52%).

You avoided the bear.

In a crisis, the subject prefers the indirect, non-confrontational 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.
