Relationships in the opening

A Mother's Dream Meets a Father's Disbelief

The recurring dream gives Selena a fleeting sense of a mother she cannot consciously remember. Waking brings a different struggle for parental recognition: she has continued trying to impress her father even as his affection shifts toward others. When Amelia accuses her, he comforts his wife and rejects Selena's explanation, sharpening the contrast between the care she longs for and the person he chooses to believe in front of her.

How does the opening dream affect the significance of Selena's later attempt to be heard by her father?
