Omega – The man probably represents a less feminine more rational minded side of you, the side that wants to pay attention and understand what is going on here.
The mountain top shows you are exploring and experiencing upper reaches of your consciousness. Don’t take much notice of the ‘higher’ and ‘lower’ reaches. It is a problem with our language – so dualistic, not so holistic. As William Blake stated, “There was no lower nature in man in the sense of being inferior”. He felt that one must find some sort of harmonious relationship with what is called the highest and lowest in man. He said, “Man has no body distinct from his Soul; for that called Body is a portion of Soul, discerned by the five Senses, the chief inlets of Soul in this age.” See

Taking a hallucinogen produces the effect of getting rid of the barrier between our ‘normal’ awareness and the dream state, so that we live in the real virtual reality of dreams – which can appear as crazy if we are not used to journeying in it.
It might help if you realise that just as your eyes do not directly allow you to see, but nerve impulses are sent to the brain where they are translated into living pictures. Nothing we sense in the world is directly known, but it is all impressions that are translated into a sense of smell, sight, hearing, etc. So the eye receives reflected light from an object that is translated into nervous impulses, which is then received by the brain which translates what are formless nerve impulses into what we feel we see.
So in dreams we tend to put pictures or images collected from everyday experiences to put an interpretation on our formless dreams. We do this because we tend to have an experience of the world based on our body senses – we do not have other impression to go on. The pterodactyls are used over and over on TV and films suggesting that the primeval past has broken through into our ‘world’. The circle, crucifix, possibly made from reeds or bound branches, suggests an ancient sense of Christianity, prior to the formalisation of the Catholic Church.
The bed on the top level and a bed on the lower seems to me to again look at the confusion we have with the top and the bottom – the boss man and the employee – the man and the woman.
It seems from the dream you ascended then descended. Then by touching more consciousness you are seeing opportunities to enter the ancient aspects of you. So it might be a revelation to BE the bound branches and the pterodactyls.
