If you think of the dream as the same as waking life, the little girl might want to find a way to get her power back. There's no limit to what she can do in a dream (pull out a canon and blast her way free, magik her way to safety, etc.). It's actually not such a dumb or simplistic idea to be imaginative about breaking free of a fearful or traumatic situation. Even if it's just a dream or made up, the mind still has the experience of it. The key is that the little girl makes a better ending, not someone or something on the outside.
