This is how you described the room:

It is a warm room, and there is a big black lather couch. the sun was shinning in the room through the big bay widow, i was all alone with a book and a cup of coffee.

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 (44.70%). This comfortable room suggests a childhood that was pleasant (98.96%).

You wanted to leave the room.

The subject wanted to become an adult.

This is how you described the forest:

I am walking through a big dark forest with, the only light that i have is the light from my cell phone. There is big dark trees as tall as a sky scaper buliding. I am trying my best to walk through without getting caught by one of these big trees.

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 (82.09%). Tall trees imply that the adults had a strong influence on the subject (99.98%).

This is how you described the path:

The path that I am following is a narrow path that is full of sticks and gravel. I have no shoes on so my feet hurt. The path is a that goes up and down and side-to-side it's hard for me to keep up with the path and be able to see where I am 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 (99.38%). Poor visibility of the path tells us the subject was often confused by the changes brought on by adolescence (99.89%). The lack of evidence of fellow travelers suggests strong feelings of isolation at that time (99.80%). That plants are the major source of obstructions tells us that the subject’s problems arose mostly from interactions with adults (71.24%).

This is how you described the water:

I finally start to see some light coming out from in front of me. I finally reach a body of water. It looked to be a little lake. The water was clear and not coppy just a clam breeze brushed against the water. SO i decide to go for a swim. The water was like bath water.

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%). Slow, gently moving water suggests a passive, restrained, calm sex drive (99.97%).

When you came to the water, you crossed it.

The subject is open to new sexual experiences.

This is how you described the cup:

As i get out of the water and cross the bridge i notice that someone has left a cup of water just sitting there on a rock. I walked over to see what kind of cup and was and what was in it. I was a little red plastic party cup. It had some cracks and dents in it so i knew that it had been sitting there for a while so i just contuined on my walk.

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 (100.00%).

You left the cup behind.

The subject is not interested in marriage.

This is how you described the key:

There is a little silver key just sitting in the middle of the path. I decided to pick it up. I looked like it would be a key that could open a dairy or something. I wasn't sure so i put it in my pocket and contuined my walk.

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). Versatile keys tell us that the subject has numerous but unfocused expectations about a career (74.34%). An ordinary-looking key suggests that the subject desires a nondescript career (95.19%).

You avoided the bear.

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