Sean,
Pay special attention to Jung's Individuation Process and Campbell's Hero Journey. And understand the process of discovery takes many years of effort. I began my journey some 18 years ago when I was 42. Although with each year I engaged in that process I made great strides with new realizations, it was not until about 2004 I fully began to appreciate what the journey was about. And I am still learning. My dream work is a potpourri of new information, not only about dreams and psychology but the 'secrets' of the deeper psyche. And it is my bliss.

Sean,
I'll provide a response later today. It does seem clear the dream is a reflection of the many difficult situations in your life. How to resolve those emotional conflicts is the primary question to be addressed.
