I think the idiomatic phrase "take the bull by the horns" may be pertinent here. It means to face a problem and grapple with it without avoiding it.
I was struck by how in your description of your relationship with your boyfriend you kept repeating that you are "comfortable" with him. Is that a problem for you in your mind - and if it is not please do not make it a problem, but some people get to a stage in a relationship where they take each other for granted, and they are too comfortable with the status quo, and this not willing to risk change - could that be your problem? If it is not, please disregard this suggestion: I definitely do not want to cause you to see problems if they are not there. After two years together, some people have expectations of marriage: now this may be your expectation or it could be others expectation (your mother for example gets mentioned in your dream - I know some mothers can be pushy for marriage and grand kids). Do you feel like either you think you should get married, or you think others are expecting it of you?
On the other hand, it may be significant that you feel you are not done rehearsing, not ready for it yet.
Marriage could also be symbolic for a time for some change in the relationship, taking the relationship to the next level, but not necessarily literally marriage.
Whatever it is, I was struck by how in your dream you were willing to grab the bull by the horns: you are willing to resolve this issue, you are confident, and you can do it (you pulled that bull up by its horns all by yourself, and when it got distracted by lady in red, you kept it under your control) - you thus have a sense of being in control of the situation, self confident / self assured, and that's good!
Yes, I absolutely do believe that your knowledge that you are a Taurus had an impact on this dream - it is your special symbolic animal, and you identify with it. That said, pulling the bull up by the horns and saving it from falling may be symbolic for saving yourself from falling (or failing?) and also you are the one who is distracted and bring yourself firmly back in control.
I think while there are some elements of confusion and of not being ready, but the being in control of the bull and your being willing to "take the bull by the horns" in this dream I think predominate. You can do it! It is a dream of empowerment I think.
I want to stress one more time that if you are not actually thinking that there is anything wrong with being comfortable, then do not let others bully you into changing this relationship, neither dream interpreters over the Internet nor people in real life. This dream may not be about a need to take this relationship to the next level, but rather about expectations that you would, but as long as ose expectations are not yours, you should do what you want and need - remember you are in charge of this bull, just like in the dream.
