Sai Ram Sreenivas Ji,
you have given the meaning of your dream already - in your very dream: "SAI will save us ... do not worry".
In the darkest darkness, in the midst of the forest of our fears and daily worries, SAI offers His house of protection to you. It may seem like a lonely hut, it may seem as though there was nothing but a picture of HIM, but - as you did realise in your dream - HE looks at you very lively: He is alive, HE is there, HE is with you.
Did you notice the change of atmosphere in your dream? At first it is a very dark night - then you realise BABA's presence - and then the night changes to a full moon night. There's more light in a full moon night than in any other night and much less reason to fear. You can walk in the darkness and be at ease - actually and symbolically.
The colleague you are with in your dream and - if I understand you correctly - who faces a situation similar to yours in "real" life - at least Western psychoanalyst tradition (Freud, Jung) would interpret him as part of your personality. He has a quality you also posess, and this quality is shown to you in your dream. Your dream uses the image of your colleague to emphasise this quality. To me, what your colleague does in the dream seems the most normal thing one would do: After a long walk in a dark forest, you arrive in a safe place, you feel warm and secure and now you go and look for food: very natural, very pragmatic!
The combination of your realisation and your colleague's behaviour may be the advise the dream gives to you:
Know that SAI is there, always with you, always looking at you, even: Heaven is just next door (maybe it is really not yet time for you to go there, but you can smell the holy smokes and hear the chimes any time),
fear not and take care of your daily needs with confidence *and* stick with what nourishes you (the double-meaning of food) on the material as well as on the spiritual plane.
SAI is there, always and everywhere. HE blessed you with his presence to give you strength and confidence and enable you walk to the end of the dark forest with faith and patience.
Hope, this could help you just a tiny little bit.
Om Sai Ram
