Analysis of a Dream I Had

Last night, I dreamed that I was climbing a ladder at work in my former job. I think there was somebody at the bottom of the ladder holding it. One of the executives, whom I despise, from my former job was there and I felt trapped and completely not in control of my life. I was working with a stack of paper on a giant printing machine. I had changed my name to Rosalind (Roz).

Here are the dream symbols and their meanings from dreammoods.com:

Ladder
To dream that you are climbing up a ladder, suggests that you have reached a new level of achievement and higher awareness. It is indicative of prosperity, hard work and efforts. You may also be looking things from a different perspective. Alternatively, it may indicate meditation and prayer. You are setting forth on a spiritual path.

To dream that someone is holding a ladder for you, signifies that you will find success and rise to prominence with the support of others.

Work
To dream that you are at your former or past work, suggests that there is an old lesson that you need to learn and apply to your current situation.

To dream that you are hard at work, signifies success and merit. Alternatively, it may suggest anxieties about a current task or project. You may need to "get back to work" and stop procrastinating.

Boss
To see your boss in your dream represents the bossy or authoritative side of your own personality. Your boss may reveal self-confidence and the assertive aspect of yourself. It is telling of your issues of control and authority. Alternatively, to see your boss in your dream may indicate your over-involvement or obsession with your work. Negatively, the boss in your dream may symbolize your limitations and lack of freedom/originality.

Nickname
To dream that someone is calling you by a nickname, suggests that you are trying to change they way you and others see you.

Paper
To see a stack of papers in your dream, denotes overwhelming responsibilities and stress that you are having to cope with.

Machinery
To see machinery in your dream, suggests that you are going about your way without much thought. You are making decisions without thinking it through. You need to get out of your boring pattern. Alternatively, it indicates that your self-image may be in need of repair.

Stuck
To dream that you are stuck, represents helplessness and feeling of being unable to escape from life's problems/stress. You have lost confidence in yourself and in your ability to move ahead in your life. Your lack of clear goals and low self-esteem may be a common cause for such dreams.
