I had a wonderful discussion about this with my pdoc today. I've been freaked out thinking it might mean I was slipping backward. He had a whole different perspective. He focused on the fact that I woke myself up when I started to shift in the dream. He saw that as a sign of good mental health, that I recognized it would be a step back and didn't let it happen.
It could be that my subconscious picked the idea of me slipping into the Little One to help me process some stuff that's been going on in my life. My Little One is a terrified 4 or 5 year old. She would come out when I was feeling overwhelmed in life. Perhaps I chose her to represent the fact I've been feeling overwhelmed in life lately BUT I also recognized that I now have the tools to take care of myself.
I'm not sure I'm explaining this very well. Bottom line is that I feel better after talking to him.
