Hello Vic,
Thank you for sharing your dream with us. Please take everything I share to the Holy Spirit as He Alone gives the accurate interpretation.
The hurt you experienced in the past was a training ground for the new/current leadership/encouragement role that you will assume. You were protected in an ark aka basket (like Moses in the Bible) despite the hurt for such a time like this to be a deliverer to others. Hallelujah!
Shalom!
