Tara – I would suggest you are meeting your other half, your animus. A lot deeper than a muse. Of course it is also a meeting with the divine. Because becoming Whole is your Self and now longer locked in the one sidedness of physical gender. See

So many people do not realise that they have an inner person equally as powerful as the external person you know. You have taken in millions of bits of memory, lessons learnt, life experiences along with all the feelings or problems met by meeting or living with them, and they change you and make you the person you are. The memories and experience we gather unconsciously change us and are not lost. It is part of you and is symbolised in dreams as a person or event. Such an inner person can appear in dreams because you still carry the memories or impressions of them, and so they influenced what you hold within you.
That you have also met your sexual as well as your tender love, also you have matured, and all of it says to me that your inner growth has led you toward meeting your whole self.
Remember that all the people, animals, and places you see in your dreams, are simply your own feelings, fears, hopes and wonder projected onto the screen of your sleeping mind as images. How could it be otherwise because you are alone in your own mind - -except that your whole mind – the conscious and the huge unconscious - is the creator in which you have full sensory experience. You are totally involved, with all your emotions and sexual responses. Changes occur and you love, fight, fear, murder or bring to life again the person, who can become an animal, a devil, God or a bodiless voice lost in a sombre countryside. Your experiences are totally real, and you move through heaven and hell, despair and joy, darkness and light. Scenes from your past can be revisited – or totally new experiences can be felt so clearly, you are enriched. That is a dream.
But perhaps you have not taken time to consider the wonder of your creative process in dreams. Every night you create a new drama. You conjure out of your own being the people, the creatures, and the surroundings of your dream. Then you give life to what you create – not only life but purpose and drama. You are a supreme dramatist, playwright, actor and actress. You are the great Creator – in your dreams. Considering this, have you ever wondered why that enormous creativity does not flow into your waking life? You can see that some people have that creativity and are enriched by it personally and financially. Why not you?
You are also a dual creature, alive in a dual world – male and female, light and dark, waking and sleeping, living and dying, the upstairs and the downstairs, and the apparent conflicts through having dual characters in your dream. What sort of person would you be if you had no doubts or a "B", who represents the limited mind who cannot see beyond what's known?
Yes, you are Everything – wonderful and at times trying!
You are unconsciously God – get used to it.
