First thing I do is pick out what images may just have come from the brain regurgitating stuff it's digested during waking life. Then, I think about what these images mean to me, the associations I've developed with those images over a lifetime as well as what their emotional impact was in the context of the dream. I then consider the resulting statement in the context of "personal psychology report", then as portents, and whatever won't fit in either I chock up to going on a subconscious holiday (but mark the imagery in case it pops up again.) I hope this helped. That's a very image-rich and action-filled dream you got there! Would be a shame to see it all go to Freud, though of course... could be, could be.
