Russian term or phrase: уже родилась и была спрятана
У меня сложилось на этот счет совершенно определенное мнение, которое не зависело ни от официальных догм, ни от политической ситуации в стране. Более того, уже родилась и была спрятана где-то глубоко в душе мечта побывать в Америке, проехаться по Канаде…

Пособите с этим местом в предложении - please!
