Greetings Cary,  I am a dreamer of sorts and love to look for the "hidden manna" in my dreams.  I found your dream interesting and I will give you my immediate thoughts on it.  Please use your discernment and the input from the other Doves.
Your dream begins at the library which represents a place of learning. The place of books (library-mind of men; words).  It is about to close.  Could it be that the distinction between the true sons and daughters of the Spirit and those of the flesh will soon be discerned? The puzzle is coming together, but there is a very important part missing and is dismissed by the librarian; who may represent the carnally minded. She doesn't discern the importance of the missing piece.     Could the pea represent Truth?    Bumps and bruises (on the princess)  is how the queen knew she was the "real thing"; the Bride to be.  The carnally minded will not comprehend the things of the Spirit; the Word of Truth. The true spiritual bride was only discerned after a night of testing. I found it interesting that in the original story, their were 40 layers of mattresses and blankets!  Forty being the number of testing!   Also in Song of Solomon, which is said to be about the Bride of Christ and the Lover, Jesus, she is taken on a journey of sorts; to see her total devotion to Him. Another interesting part of the story was that the princess showed up dripping wet from a torrential downpour; She being totally washed in the Water of the Word.  The Bride is about to take her place!  The Wedding was ordered by the Royal Family!  Oh how exciting!
