Well, you certainly do have a lot of elements in this dream. Fritz Perls said that each part of a dream means something to us. You might want to pick an item in this dream as a starter and say, "what does this mean to me?" For example -- the ski lift. You ask, "What is a ski lift to me?" Is it an entertaining thing (skiing), something to get you to the top? (the lift), something that takes you out of the ordinary(?). You answer that and then you look at what happened. Lots of people pushing for the same thing, and you fighting to get ot the top -- only to miss the actual sensation of having achieved anything. This is a guess on my part. What would you say?
