I have a sas dataset on my laptop and trying to get it into SAS enterprise guide. I can double click on it and EG will bring it in - how do I access the dataset from there? Probably a dumb question but I'm not seeing in the "work" directory?

EG will define a temporary libref to the file's location, so it can be used in place. Look in the dataset's property menu for the libref.
Then EG hands the physical filename over to the "Local" SAS server, which then uses the physical name to address the dataset.
As a reference, see the documentation of the SET Statement.
