This is how you described the room:

The room is warm, with the heat originating from the fireplace nearby. It is a gray stoned fireplace, with several large logs placed inside fueling a lavish fire. There is a window nearby giving a view into the winter world where everything is silent and still. It is night outside. I am laying on a large maroon couch, with gold crowinings on either side. Large drapes of the same color hang over the window. Bookselves filled with various covers, of all colors and sizes, line the walls. Trinkets, gadgets, and all sorts of mysterious souveniers from all parts of the world fill in the spaces between the book. There is a desk with gold and silver pens, and a large chair. I believe it is a study/library.

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 (94.14%). This comfortable room suggests a childhood that was pleasant (99.21%).

You wanted to leave the room.

The subject wanted to become an adult.

This is how you described the forest:

The forest outside is dark and silent. The snow has covered all of the trees and bushes. A few animal tracks can be seen, but nothing can be heard. The trees go high above my head, but they are evergreens so they still have their leaves. A few red berries can be seen here and there, illuminated by the full moon above.

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 (98.58%). Tall trees imply that the adults had a strong influence on the subject (99.38%).

This is how you described the path:

The path is slightly covered in snow but still visible. It looks as if no one has walked on it in awhile. It is a dirt path that winds into the forest, in and out of the trees and off into the distance, the unknown. All i can see is a single tree that has fallen on it, but no other obstructions block my path.

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 (99.99%). Poor visibility of the path tells us the subject was often confused by the changes brought on by adolescence (99.99%). The lack of evidence of fellow travelers suggests strong feelings of isolation at that time (99.69%). That the path is free of obstructions indicates that the subject had no problems during adolescence (99.79%).

This is how you described the water:

The waters current is somewhat forceful, enough to move some larger logs. Large blocks of ice are slowly being pushed through the current against the rocks that are lining the waterbed. The water looks to be a rivine, smaller than a river but larger than a creek. The width somewhere around 7 feet. At the parts where the water moves a little slower, the water is clear. Otherwise the movement makes the water seem dark and mysterious. Touching the water, it is ice cold, yet looks very clean.

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%). The movement of the water suggests a normal, average if somewhat playful sex drive (98.91%).

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 small cup, probally made of stone, with the hole chisled out. It is in the shape of a chalice, and is dirty from the mud around it.

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 (47.68%).

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:

I begin to wonder if a house is nearby. It could be a key to the front door. THe key is a bronze key, as big as my hand. It looks old and antique, as the bronze has begun to wear. The end of the key has a strange design, but it is very intriguing.

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 (100.00%). Old-fashioned keys suggest that the subject desires a traditional career (99.14%).

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.
