"It has been somewhat of a challenge for me to figure a dream that I had a couple of years ago. It is by far the most beautiful dream I have ever had however I do not understand its symbolism and meaning.
Here is how the dream developed. A Unicorn is flying above a blue ocean under a morning blue sky. It lands on a white floating box on the ocean which then becomes me, naked, one one knee with hands on my sides and my head looking down. All of a sudden a fountain of Gold colored water comes from beneath the ocean from all four directions making a sort of an Arch over my head allowing it to drip over me. At that moment I see the figure of Jesus on a gold colored crucifixion come up from beneath the water as if it had been pushed down (sort of a floating object that you push down and rises back up). So it comes up and goes right back down and the gold fountain stops. I then jump off the white floating box and become a dove and fly away while I am looking down at the ocean.
That was my dream and when I woke up from it I was so happy yet a little confused...for the purposes of this request I would mention that I'm not Christian and I am dedicated to my faith and my religion. I believe in Jesus too but not as the Son of God so to speak but as Prophet most definately. Would you please be able to shed some light on this for me? I would really be curious to hear your feedback as I know it might help me understand myself."Wow, that is an incredible dream and the dreamer is correct in interpreting that the symbolism is spiritual - and highly so, I might add!
The unicorn and dove are spiritual symbols as they both have wings, especially if the unicorn was white. It did land on while floating box and unicorns are a symbol of new beginnings, creativity and power. The dove is a symbol of purity and spirituality as well as the golden light. The light may also represent healing.
Water reprents the emotions, intuition and spirituality. In this dream, it seems to symbolize cleansing and healing.
Religious symbols in dreams may not necessarily represent your personal beliefs, because dreams do speak in symbols. Since you do have a belief in Jesus it would make sense that he might appear in your dream. You may find this article helpful:

naked in dreams often symbolizes fear of exposure or a desire to expose the inner or true self.
The dreamer is the only true interpreter of the dream. Its meaning depends on what was going on in your waking life and inner self at that time. This is why it's so important to keep a
