So it would seem

sathorFurther thoughts on the dream:
Looks like it was representative of Malkuth. I expected something more significant but it does make sense.
The maiden imagery associated with Malkuth is a young woman (a bride, the white makes sense) who has a veil over her face. I could not see her face, so this seems very appropriate.
Although I don't recall this from The Mystical Qabalah, it would appear in some instances the maiden is considered the bride of Kether (which equates with the Bride of God, or in other words the Goddess)
Which really makes me feel strange.
I used to be very Goddess focused until I had a broadened perspective in theology, and until I decided I wanted to move up and out of the Malkuthian spiritual and mental existence. My strongest, most vivid dreams always involved her, so to speak...the Goddess if you will, or a very powerful, important woman intrinsically connected to me. I made spiritual vows when I was younger.
The dream seems to be a message that my focus on the masculine since a certain point may have resulted in some of the problems that have arisen in my life. The maiden split the storm and brought me peace, showed me good will when everything else around me was destructive, dark and horrifying. I think this is a directive, not a representation or expression of something that has already occurred. It may be that I need to reconnect with something I have been hiding from for a very long time, since the end of my relationship with Val. I was never a true spiritualist since then...it ruined that in me.
Maybe it's time to dust off that part of myself and see if there's worth to it again.
