Regarding Cathy's question, the two following answers were accepted as being correct with both là and y replacing 'dans une clairière'. The first was the answer given by KWIZIQ as the first choice.
1. je me repose là pendant quelques minutes.
2. je m'y repose pendant quelques minutes.
I understand that y can replace 'dans + place', and I often read that y and là have different meanings, but have never found a clear explanation as to when you 'can' use one or the other when referring to a place.
I would really appreciate someone explaining to me why both are correct.
