Most of the dreams that I look at are not meant to be taken literally. These often contain mythological entities or pagan symbols. And sometimes the most nightmarish dream can actually have a very positive meaning.
This dream is strongly reminiscent of the story of Odin. As you may remember, he hanged himself on Yggdrasil for nine days and nights to discover the runes. He also sacrificed one eye to gain wisdom. Odin is known as the patron god of shamanism.
The dead man is almost certainly Odin. But, I’m not too sure about the other man. Likely candidates would include his son Thor, especially if he has red hair, or Heimdall, who guarded Bifrost, the rainbow bridge to Asgard.
You wrote that you also prayed in your dream. You prayed the first part of the Christian Lord’s prayer. Your prayer to “Our Father” could apply to Odin, who is also known as All-Father.
I do believe that this dream does refer to your current situation. Just as Odin gained wisdom through suffering, the dreamer is gaining wisdom from he stressful situation.
Hope this helps.
