This is how you described the room:

I wake up on the couch with a soft blanket that has a picture of a tiger on it. The room is pretty large with a wall unit on the opposite end. A large television is on it. Their are tables and the middle of all the couches that surround the room. The walls are filled with shelves with objects on them and pictures hanging.

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 (97.30%). This comfortable room suggests a childhood that was pleasant (99.90%).

You wanted to stay in the room.

The subject did not want to grow up.

This is how you described the forest:

The forest is relatively normal. It is mid day when the sun is the highest. Large oak trees stand tall and thick around me. Some have naturally fallen over because of the elements. Moss and fungus grow all around the trees and leaves scatter the ground, covering the soil and grass. The forest seems almost endless in all direction.

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 (79.13%). Tall trees imply that the adults had a strong influence on the subject (99.96%).

This is how you described the path:

The path is worn like many people have walked on it. You can see faint outlines of footprint but they are made by bare feet. The path is about five feet wide and has no patches of grass on it anywhere. It is clean, no branches or holes or anything. It looks well-traveled on.

Adolescence is represented by the path through the forest. A wide path indicates that the subject had numerous options for emotional growth at this time (94.74%). The visibility of the path tells us that the subject had a good idea of what to expect from adolescence (98.87%). The strong evidence of fellow travelers tells us that the subject received a lot of support from friends and family during that potentially troubling time (98.90%). That the path is free of obstructions indicates that the subject had no problems during adolescence (99.98%).

This is how you described the water:

The water looks almost perfect. Its crystal clear and you can see the rock bed below. The water is shallow though, about two to three feet deep. The water does not see like a mode of transportation but just a pretty stream that you drink from.

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 (91.40%).

When you came to the water, you crossed it.

The subject is open to new sexual experiences.

This is how you described the cup:

It is a flask. It looks very old, maybe even used during a war. The flask is brown from use and mud. But it looks like it would be safe to drink from 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 (99.97%).

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 about 5 inches long and looks solid gold. It is polished so well that it almost looks as though it wasn't crafted by man. It has a beautiful design in the end of the key. It a well crafted key that seems to be used to unlock something very important that must be kept extremely safe.

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 (81.41%). Decorative keys suggest that the subject wants an attention-grabbing, one-of-a-kind career (95.19%).

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.
