Pete,
I am getting mixed messages from the dream that when understood would fit together. That may have to do with the strong self deception I sense from the dream which would be reflective of your personality. One impression I get has to do with shadow aspects {dark skinned man in a black suit appeared with a jet black beard and black hair}. Shadow aspects have to do with the unconscious mind consisting of repressed weaknesses and shortcomings. It is an aspect that is often projected onto someone else, a complex where the individual does not realize the unconscious energies that cause these personality traits. You may possess a personality where you tend to project unconscious traits onto other people so not to confront your own emotional deficiencies. These traits would stem from early life experiences and influences. I also sense there are past mistakes you tend to repeat. Anger may be an issue also caused by inner turmoil. You may try to seek respect by doing things that are destructive or hurtful to others. This would be caused by the need for self respect, something you lack because of the early life experiences/influences. Because the se are unconscious energies you may believe everything is fine in your waking life but you are hiding deep issues. You do not have full control of your emotions {outer anger} and hide any guilt by believing you have done nothing wrong {projecting the blame onto someone else}. This is a deception on your part and until you are able to eliminate the inner turmoil you will live life being controlled by these unconscious energies. Have you ever consulted a psychologist?

Pete,
I understand completely. Do realize the dream is addressing an emotional issue within you. What is striking and key is the dream language, "dark skinned man in a black suit appeared with a jet black beard and black hair." The dark skinned man would itself could be a shadow symbol. Add the black suit {clothes made of the same fabric and designed to be worn together} and jet black beard/black hair {unconscious mind} and you have references to the deep unconscious. The language, "the power of his religion, and to demonstrate passed me a carcass that said dead dog" would be references to the psyche power within your unconscious {religion} and the dead animal instincts that are persistent as motivators in your unconscious and are reflected in your conscious life. If my analysis did strike a cord it would be wise to further look into these possibilities since they will go with you for the rest of your life. And if my analysis is correct they can be destructive..
