I traveled home to northern Maine, to take care of my mother's real estate office while she was away for a few weeks. It was around the christmas holidays, so tons of people had stopped by to drop off gifts, and there was a gift table outside her office door with tons of presents, some of which were for me

This dream isn't tagged communication, but it should be because two, maybe three times in the dream, you didn't express yourself very assertively.
1. The lady and the key. You felt "weird" about letting her in, but you did it anyway - people pleaser!
2. JP blah blahing about Larry and not listening to your hints. If you don't like where a conversation is going you can change the subject, or end it and leave.
He may have gotten you three amazing gifts, but if he's not paying attention to your feelings, that's not something to ignore.
3. The fact that you were in Maine working at your mom's real estate place at all- you just finished telling me the other day that in her fantasy you take this business over but in reality you're not interested. But apparently your mom asked you to run it over the holidays and dream-Maya must've been like "Oh sure, I'd LOVE to work through Christmas for you. Have a great holiday away- BYE."

That's my 2 cents. What do you think?

In general, I am a "people pleaser." Even if I give someone a little bit of guff about helping them out, I still do it. And sometimes I suffer because of it.... Not in huge ways, but I feel I do put others before myself a lot more than most do.

This is a double edged sword, and one that causes a little bit of internal conflict for me.

Have you observed this?

I have a little, but I have also observed you stand up for yourself when you need to. So maybe you should take that belief about yourself. "I am there for my friends but I have strong boundaries and I stand up for myself when I need to."
