This is how you described the forest:

The forest is growing up, and the trees are those adults with whom the subject interacted at that time. That the forest is very bright tells us that the subject had extensive freedom while growing up (64.73%). Tall trees imply that the adults had a strong influence on the subject (63.23%).

This is how you described the path:

narrow well traveled and in the middle of the forest clearly

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 (98.04%). The visibility of the path tells us that the subject had a good idea of what to expect from adolescence (99.22%). 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 (94.79%). That the path is free of obstructions indicates that the subject had no problems during adolescence (98.96%).

This is how you described the 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 (88.96%). Fast-moving water indicates a strong, active sex drive (68.13%).

This is how you described the key:

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 (99.84%). An ordinary-looking key suggests that the subject desires a nondescript career (99.42%).
