My therapist specializes in dreamwork, Jungian particularly. She notes that most of the characters in dreams are simply aspects of ourselves, so you could consider where/how in your life you are feeling or being dismissive/overbearing, either in your internal landscape, i.e. not being attuned to yourself, or in your external world.
There are a couple other types of dreams as well- dreams where you'd processing trauma and the characters don't necessarily represent you, i.e. dreaming of something related to abuse, and also processing dreams: sometimes abstract but often recognizably themed rehashing of day-to-day events.
