Trying to interpret dreams logically is unlikely to generate explanations that are helpful: there are so many possibilities, and even when one finds an explanation that makes sense, one is left wonderingwhat to do with it. A much more potent approach seems to be to re-explore the dream as image, being mindful of the resonances you can feel in the body, and letting it develop the way it wants, without focusing too much on "understanding" or any specific goal. This might sound a bit abstract, but here is a two part blog post which I think explains this pretty well (I am not the author):

(Note: I was quite familiar with "imaginal meditation" when I first found this post, so to me this made a lot of sense and was immediately applicable. But I hope and think that it is even if one is not familiar with those practices)
