The narrator describes a waking dream involving a portal to a valley of happiness where burdened souls leave behind their physical ailments and burdens. One specific young woman, initially sent back by the old man at the gate to earn a reward because she lacked burdens, eventually returns after experiencing life's hardships, taunts, and overcoming her own vanity, and is finally allowed to enter the valley.
In Their Own Words
“I had a dream, one day, not in my sleep, but a waking dream, and if you like I will tell you of it... As I watched I saw a portal where the little ones had entered, and I beheld a weary young traveler... Once I looked when the old man was talking earnestly with one whom, it seemed, could not enter... The child turned away, little caring... I heard her softly whisper, 'Oh master, let me in, I am so very weary now... The old man gently took the burden from the child and ushered her into the valley of happiness. — Millennial Star 83:25”
