I have no idea where else to place this thread, or ask this question... So if there is a more appropriate place for this thread, feel free to move it
Mods.
So.... last night, I had this amazing dream, in which I actually awoke 3 times during it, only to come back to the dream every time. I remember it in fantastic detail, and will describe it later, if or when necessary.
There is one thing I am having trouble with, and that is understanding of what a carving into a stone at the base of building depicting a Frog wearing a small hat, playing the flute, might represent.
I'm not sure if it is at all connected, but before sleeping I was researching Apollonian and Dionysian literary concepts and relation to the new testament in preparing for a thread that I may be posting at a later date.
What does Apollonian and Dionysian have to do with frogs?
The Frogs

It's kinda hard to explain the plausible correlations between the topics in which I researched last night, and how they may have lead to my dreams, so excuse the ramblings.
I just want to know what the frog and the flute means! It's even more important to me, because at the time of the dream in which I had scene this carving in stone at the base of a building(which is a large part of the dream), was also flashes of other images, especially those of geometric shapes transposed over other images of people, places and things. By flashing, I mean, like on a real of movie film and each frame was a different image.
BTW during my research last night, I loosely read about the Festival of Dionysus, and have to memory of seeing anything relating to The Frogs, so I have absolutely no idea where it may have came from. The only link I can think of was reading about Nietzsche's "The Birth of Tragedy" and the plot for The Frogs
please don't over think this, as I have obviously done, just try and suggest what the frog and the flute means LOL!
Thank you in advance.

"Frogs in the church? What does this mean? We find the answer in the book of Revelation. The book of Revelation tells us that frogs represent unclean spirits that come from the mouth of the beast. The book of Revelation is highly symbolic as it the rest of the bible. When the bible speaks of frogs, it is speaking of those who try to follow the law of God by their own works of righteousness in the flesh." Source
"The three most prominent characteristics of a frog are pomposity, an air of superior wisdom and knowledge, and a continual croaking. The teachings associated with frogs would be doctrines of bombast and pomposity, an attempt to overawe with dignity and assumed authority."
"And I saw, coming out of the mouth of the dragon and out of the mouth of the beast and out of the mouth of the false prophet, three unclean spirits like frogs. " Revelation 16:13:
