Strange dream I need insight about.

Do not take the dream as a story line. Dreams are not linear.
Each thing you remember (in order of importance) needs to be freely translated to what that thing, feeling, event, person, might mean to you. Just write them down as separate things and next to them put your equivalent thought of that thing. Then look at it in whole again after you have done that. It may not have much to do with your friend but rather something else, someone else, yourself, etc.....I would even set the list aside for a day or two and then look at it again with fresh eyes and emotions.
