Felicia,
I appreciate your follow-up response. The Dream Forum is a learning place for those who have an interest in dreams and follow-up posts to the interpretations provide value learning experiences.
It seems that the masculine in this dream was indeed symbolic of both aspects, the personal inner masculine and an actual male in your waking life. Now that you realize the relationship I hope you are able to carry on and regain your inner masculine confidence.
As for the outer masculine, the male in your life. His cheating heart told on him.
Thanks again for the follow-up. It proves once again that Jung's approach to dreams has great merit.
