You must face the dragon to get to the treasure. Kind of the motto for shadow work. Shadow dreams typically involve a threat that we attempt to run away from, and it's interesting to note how we deal with threatening characters in these dreams bc they reflect back how we are reacting to our shadow aspect. Running away symbolizes our need to turn away from our shadow (deny, ignore, etc.,.), which is symbolic of how we turn away from undesirable or unacknowledged aspect of self, e.g. running away, hiding, etc. In your case H., you 'amassed' your 'own entity capable of defeating this creature'. Well done! Very interesting that another entity fought in your place - do you think you found an aspect of self that has the resources that enable you to work thru challenging catalyst? But this is my interpretation maybe you see it differently.
