She has hidden her face in her hands. A sorrowful gesture, but at the same time gives her the opportunity to rub shoulders with the nightmare impressions and to see clearly what is real.
On the night-black wall behind the sleeping place hang the causes for this anxious restlessness: Nine swords, nine dark thoughts spur to worrying, nocturnal musings, which then processes the subconscious mind in bad dreams.

In the warm brown wooden frame of the bed, for instance, a scene is carved showing two people in a landscape. One sits under a tree, the other stands in front of him with a big gesture. Of course, this image can be interpreted as a combat scene and can identify with the defeat on the ground. But equally well, this can be the handing over of a gift, such as a flower.
Flowers, the red roses of love and vitality, can be found in all the yellow fields of the plaid blanket. It's hard to think of something bad. Fortunately for the pessimist, the light blue fields in between are embroidered with astrological symbols of the zodiac signs and planets.
