I actually have horrible nightmares pretty frequently. Half the time I'll wake up in a cold sweat. They usually involve a life-and-death struggle of some sort...and gruesome violence. :/ Thanks for your comments; that’s an interesting insight. I actually have horrible nightmares pretty frequently.

"Job" says that they "brush by you" in the night. Whenever i have a dream of dying, it means that I'm changing -- going from one phase of life into the other. This makes sense in your dream, too. You're "dying to yourself" as Christ sacrificed himself on the cross. Then, you step back and see all the "versions" of yourself reconciled in Christ. But also, the symbolism of the dragon and woman is just like Revelation. In that, the woman is the general symbol for God's people -- a church, a bride -- and the dragon is the devil. Perhaps as you grow in Christ, sacrificing your old ways to put on his new ways, your work will serve to bring unity to the church to be able to fight the dragon. wow, that’s a cool dream. i always pray against nightmares before going to sleep. “Job” says that they “brush by you” in the night.
