Oh I have the same fears for sure, fears of failure, fears of success, etc. And yes, I had to deal with depression, chronic minor depression plus anxiety to be specific but Im feeling much better now. I'm not 100% recovered but Im certain I have hit a turning point as I haven't felt this relaxed in a long time.

Leo,
Your progress is what is important. Ian's strong points are your strengths as you make progress, and are most likely the reason he was in the dream. And the shared characteristics with your father probably fit with the unconscious {submerged in water} fears I mentioned. The second fishing pole may be about the progress you are making, representing a second opportunity. Stay the course, focus on those strong points. Discipline is the key to success.
