Heaven's Gates

Something about me: I'm 21 years old, male, from central Europe. I have a girlfriend and I'm a music student in university. I'm a very quiet person. I've always felt strongly connected to the things around me (nature/earth).
I'm posting this dream here because I felt something I had never felt before, neither in a dream nor in my real life. Yesterday when I woke up I could remember every little detail, but I forgot to write it down instantly, so now everything is a bit confused and blurred.
I am in a long corridor that is beautifully decorated, the main colour is red. There's a strong light coming from everywhere. There are other people around me, but I barely notice them, I can't recognise their faces or see what they are doing. They don't seem to be noticing my presence either. As I approach the end of the corridor, everything seems to peacefully fall apart. The other people still ignore everything. In the meantime, everything around me changes and I'm in front of a huge gate (~30m of height). In front of the gate there are two red curtains. The wind is moving them, so I can slightly see a beautiful green landscape. It looks very surreal. I know that this is the gate to Heaven, I start floating and looking forward to passing through the gates. Then, all of a sudden, before reaching the gate, I start feeling like I'm falling down, breathing becomes harder. It's like I had just jumped out of an airplane. Around me I can only see a lot of light and uncrecognisable things moving fast. I'm very scared and I feel very cold. At the same time I have a very intense feeling of pleasure and happiness, I feel safe and embraced. A few seconds later I wake up in my bed (I'm not sure if I actually wake up or if it's still part of the dream). I still feel cold and completely out of breath.
Later I'm again in a corridor. This time it's rather narrow and dark. There are unrecognisable pictures on the walls. I see a friend of mine with a strange costume. Suddenly he starts shrinking and melting. This time I'm not scared, I know this is not really possible and I realise I'm dreaming. My dream becomes lucid and I desperately try to find a way to wake up. I run out of the corridor and find myself in the house I was living 7 years ago. I go outside and again I'm in front of that gate. This time I know what will happen, so I look forward to feeling safe and embraced. Everything happens again and I wake up in my bed.

Well it seems you were going down a beautiful way, of passion and intensity, strongly lit in you from everywhere. Very visible and you see it a lot.

You don't notice parts of yourself along this way.
Sounds like you may have been ignoring yourself, being a way you have not travelled before.
And so this new part of you will ignore you.

That may be why everything falls apart at the end, though peacefully.
And your surrounding self ignores that too.

~~~~~~
HEAVEN
Everything changes and you're before a massive intense entrance to beautiful growth in yourself.
It seems unreal.
But you know it's heaven on the other side. Peace, joy, and fulfillment.
It lifts you and you look forward to it.

~~~~~~~
FAILURE
Then, as always happens with humans, you fail and fall.
You can't catch your breath, meantally and emotionally.
Like you have suddenly fell fast from a great height.

You see the light that seeing this vision gave, but do not recognise what it is.
It is speeding away from you.
It scares you and makes you feel cold.

Yet the Heaven overrides that. It seems you know that is stronger.

~~~~~
LATER
The way now is narrow and dark in you.
You still don't recognize the vision, or perhaps purpose, that makes this happen.
Or maybe you do not recognise what you need to fulfill this peace.
It looks like you saw your friend as strange, and shrinking. That must be the issue. Unless he represents you saw what was familiar going strange and shrinking, in you.

You were not scared this time; you knew what was coming.
Therefore then, I suspect in real life you became lucid, clear, and realised your friendship could not shrink, or else what was familiar couldn't.

You desperately try to find a way to wake up, I wonder if in reality.
You run, to find yourself in your past.
And again, you are confronted by the beginning vision of that gate to Heaven.
This time you know what will happen, so look forward to feeling safe and embraced. Everything happens again and you wake up to where you have left off in reality.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
SIMPLE CONCLUSION.
You tried to get peace over your friendship, you still feel passionate about, again and again. But failed.
Is this correct?
Did your friendship start 7 years ago?
