Weird worlds

It started with a firefight. I don't remember the whole dream but Gerald, myself and a companion were running form something/trying to sneak through something and got caught. Gerald stuffed us into a teleport and promised he would follow. The teleport took us to a sandstone maze. It was indoors but bright, almost sunlit. We had been here before but had never made it out. There was something desireable at the end. I don't recall the walking through part but we found ourselves at a "fork in the road." the path we normally took, the path we knew was the way out, had a monster at the end and the only way to get past him was to trick him. But Gerald had told us of another way out, one that involved solving a puzzle rather than trying to sneak past a monster. We took that path and would up in a cube pit, 12" x 12" x 12". The way in sealed behind us (I think we actually climbed into the pit), there was no turning back. The walls were blank but Gerald had promised us that he knew the solution to the puzzle. We waited and heard the sound of fighting. The dream cut to Gerald and he was fighting the monster. He was younger in the maze, a warrior rather than a scholar. he beat the monster and came to us. He solved the puzzle but only I made it through to the other side.
The maze dream dissolved into a fantasy-ish dream. It was dark and there was something big burning in the distance. A dinosaur attacked. Someone shrunk it and threw it into the lake, a warrior woman. She became trapped in an invisible something and dissappeared (lumped in with a bunch of dormant man warriors in a tomb?) We found where she had gone on the ground, it was like a seal in the dirt. when we freed her it felt like it had been a while.
The next thing I remember is being put in an ancient passage as a child/tween. I feel like this was part of the warrior lady dream. I was told if I cleaned the whole stone passage, I would be able to meet the king. I wiped away some dirt from the floor and it revealed a cave painting. As I looked closer it seemed as though there were many cave paintings. I got up and walked deeper into the passage and found a room full of them, floor to celing. When I emerged from the tomb/passage I was a young woman. The person who had put me in there was waiting outside, and took me to the king.
I was nervous and giddy, I had waited all my life to meet the handsome king. When we met he was much older but still handsome. He was charming as well, and asked me if I would like to stay the night with him. I agreed. It seemed beautiful to me but when I woke up the next morning, he had turned into an ugly, fat, rude, and lazy man with a bowl hair cut and pustules on his neck. I served him food and tended to his bath like a good girl but deeply regretted our night together. Some other things happened (including a sort of reflection of a family laughing and talking around a table that pulled a string somewhere inside me) and I went back in time to warn my younger self of things. She knew who I was, there was no weird "OMG you're me!" moment. I had a conversation with her, checking in to make sure she was ok. She was wiser than I had imagined. I asked her if she wanted to be warned of something (the king thing) and she said no. Then she was put in the passage and I saw the reflection again. It hurt even more this time, but I had the feeling I would never get there.
