Dante's Dream

In Dante's dream he is small and very scared from nothing he can recall. Then, he floats down the hall to his father's den, but stops.  Then, he walks in with proper posture. "Father, I cannot sleep and I'm afraid." He sees his father slightly smile, then beckon him to come closer. Now they're outside in the daylight, his father engulfs him in his big arms- there's the warming sense of total safety, Dante knows he is protected.
