The Beautiful Life Retreat Part 3 The first dream

In the early hours of Thursday morning I had this dream
' The woman wanted to go and explore the attic but it was dark and she was scared so she killed her curiosity and didn't go.
The next day the sister of the daring little girl told the woman that the daring little girl had ventured into the attic and had found lots of exciting things and had brought some back with her. The woman wanted proof so she asked the sister to bring the proof to her.
The woman was jealous because the daring little girl had boldly taken the adventure she had wanted and so the woman was brought face to face with her lack of courage.
She felt anger stir in her, jealous anger.
When she had the proof in her hands she confronted the daring little girl, the girl looked the woman in the face with a difiant expression and said " I wanted to go, I wasn't afraid, I wanted to go"
The woman knew that the girl would not back down, she knew that in her jealousy she was trying to crush the little girls adventurous spirit because it reminded her of her own lack of courage.
The woman changed her tune and tried to make the girl feel bad by saying "what if something happened to you, I'm concerned, I need to know you are safe, I didn't know where you was"
Even as she said the words she knew that they were not entirly true, she knew she was trying to make the little girl feel bad for having an adventrous spirit.
The little girl just boldly looked her in the face because she could see through all the womans words'

This dream is all the more interesting to me as it links so clearly to my Enneagram number!
