Hello KMC,
Thank you for sharing your dream with us. Please take everything that I share to the Holy Spirit as He Alone gives the accurate interpretation.
I’m not sure what your ability to hear God is like now. Perhaps, Dr. Samuel might represent that God hears your prayers and wants/is transparent with you in His dealings. Perhaps, you might be more of a private person and might be invited to let down some walls and be more trusting.
Shalom!
