Of all these items, I definitely decided to take an old book with me, it seemed to me a wise treasure of knowledge. I also chose a small key, feeling its symbolic significance and potential to open up new possibilities.
Some items, such as a necklace and a bottle of aromatic oil, seemed useful to me, but I realized that their true value could go far beyond the material. They could represent emotional and spiritual saturation.
Other items, such as a notebook, a map and a canvas with paints, aroused interest and a desire to learn more about yourself and the world around you. I decided to take them with me to explore and develop further. I chose these items because of their symbolic meaning and their ability to help me in my journey. Each item has acquired a personal value for me.
The ancient book was a source of wisdom and knowledge. It contained unique information that could help me understand myself and the world around me.
The small key symbolized possibilities and discoveries. It represented the potential to unlock new doors and open new horizons.
The notebook was a tool for self-expression and planning. It would allow me to capture my thoughts, ideas and goals and help me to develop and grow.
The map was a tool for orientation and navigation. It would help me to explore and understand the world around me and find my way to success.
A tiny canvas with brushes and paints symbolized creativity and self-expression. It would give me the opportunity to express my emotions and ideas through art and creativity.
The other items that I decided to leave behind could also be valuable, but their significance and role in my journey and overcoming difficulties were less obvious and insignificant in this context. I chose the subjects that suited my needs the best and in the long run would help me to walk the path with wisdom, discovery, self-expression and orientation.
It was an interesting experience and a fascinating journey. I was reflecting and thinking about everything while I got to the magic carpet, which was obediently waiting for me on the island. I was about to fly away when I suddenly heard the carpet talking to me:
«Dear Alice!
I know how scared of flying you were, so I took you with me in your dream. I want to tell you that you are doing a great job! Your courage and determination have won me over.
You were able to overcome your doubts, gather your strength and take a step into the unknown. You proved to yourself that fear should not be an obstacle in realizing dreams and achieving goals, and showed how important it is to overcome yourself in order to open up new horizons.
Let each flight be a reminder of your strength and determination, and let each overcoming of fear be a source of inspiration for others. Don’t stop there, go ahead, open up new horizons and let yourself fly higher and further!»
When I heard these words, I felt my cheeks «burn», and my eyes filled with tears, an involuntary smile colored my face. The feeling of being supported, of being believed in, is irreplaceable. After all, there is nothing better than a sincere and deep faith in a person and his capabilities. It inspires and gives strength to go forward.
On the way home, I felt refreshed and satisfied. The difficulties of the journey helped me realize my strength and perseverance. With the items from the chest, I realized that I have valuable resources and knowledge that would help me get through future challenges. I flew home with a feeling of deep satisfaction and was ready to continue my inner journey with new discoveries and growth».
With this, Alice finished her story about the fascinating dream that visited her. The girls did not want to discuss anything, they just wanted to reflect: Alice about what she had experienced, and Ella about what she had heard. Everyone’s consciousness was immersed in deep reflection. «What if it’s true that dreams mean a lot more than we think?»
With such thoughts, Alice and Ella fell asleep.
Chapter 3
Labyrinth
Ella woke up, ran up to Alice’s bed and began actively shaking her with the words: «Alice, wake up, wake up, I just had a dream, I want to tell you before I forget!»
The girl opened her eyes, sat down on the bed and answered: «Sure, come on».
And Ella began her story:
«In my dream, I got into a strange labyrinth, it was dark and seemed endless, which made me unbearably scared and cold. Impenetrable darkness, immersed in an atmosphere of terrible cold, brrrr. The complete absence of light and sound created a feeling of isolation and loneliness. The walls of the labyrinth, cold and damp, made goosebumps on my skin. The dark passages and emptiness around created the illusion of infinity, making it difficult to exit and increasing the feeling of fear. Every step I took was accompanied by an ominous echo, which only emphasized the depth of despair. This labyrinth seemed vast and unfathomable, making the heart beat faster and the breathing speed up.
Mental «paths» began to form in my head as I was sitting in another dead end of the labyrinth, frustrated and exhausted. At that moment, I was remembering moments from the past when I faced various difficulties and found solutions. In the process of analysis, I came to the conclusion that each obstacle, although difficult, led me to new opportunities and growth.
I thought about my own resources and inner strength that helped me overcome difficulties in the past. At the same time, I realized that even in the darkest moments there is a spark of hope that can show the way out.
Thoughts provided the basis for determination and perseverance. I was determined not to give up and keep moving forward, even without a clear understanding of exactly where the exit from the labyrinth is. A difficult and long journey was waiting for me, the difficulties of which were not terrible at all.
Instead of getting lost in despair, I started paying attention to symbols or signs that might point in the right direction.
