Congay – You dress up as a female princess, which left you feeling swept away by emotions.
The children represent an early period of your life during which you experienced the desire to become something ‘more fun’. But the climb was not secure and your adult self took up the task you had set yourself.
Perhaps you haven’t realised that we each have within us a male and a female self. See

So the male you – the male in the dream – took hold of you and was shown as a shocking experience – shocked by the interaction?
You avoid meeting this feeling by hiding – but you cannot really hide from yourself, for nearly always when people dream about someone they know or a strange new person or situation they automatically believe the dream is about that person, situation or animal. But when we think of our friend or partner our thoughts are not them – just our thoughts and feelings about them. So dream images are also ways of communicating via our associations not actual things or people. In the world of dreams our most intimate fears and longings are given an exterior life of their own in the form of the people, objects and places of our dream.
It might help if you explore the man with the green hands by becoming him in your imagination. You might feel that is a strange thing to do, but your dreams are all creatures of your own creation, made out of your own emotions, fears and longings, and it is wise to know what goes on inside you otherwise you might become a puppet danced around by your fears.

Religious things actually mean things that are universally true – the woman holding a baby is seen a holy not because a woman is said to be holy because she gave birth to Jesus, but because motherhood is the immensely important fact of the race surviving.
The angel and devil are two sides of one thing – the same as night and day are the same process of the day’s cycle. “For (over and over again) there is nothing that is evil except because a man has not mastery over it; and there is no good thing that is not evil if it have mastery over a man.” And you do not, according to your dream, have mastery over what you carry within you and you recoiled because you were, “grossed out.”
