Could it be accepting other parts of your self rather than giving in?
I had a similar kind of dream... With a dark theme... But I was in love with the dark entity, who was in the floor in a spooky house. Like you say, the dream was exciting. I then found the ghost of a little girl who was scared, when I held her all this white golden light started to flood us both.
I took the meaning to be me integrating bits of me that needed to come back.
Your dream sounds similar; perhaps the assassin represents a survival part of you?
