What is being Masterful in those situations for you? Can you be specific?

Your wording for me creates a battle in my mind like I have to overpower these people.

Paul asks you to to consider 'what physical and mental preparations you need to do to properly handle future events.'

With fear we often need to bluff our way to confidence. If you keep saying you want to "master" the situation will have difficulty. The mind is very literal and the word Master means to have authority over. You're creating a battle with these authority figures in your mind because you see them as your superiors and want to fight them down.

Rather focus on how you want to feel when you are around people who seem to have an authority over you. Perhaps its more cool, calm and collected when you are near these people. To be able to walk calmly by. To be anxiety free, when you happen to be around them. Having no more tension than necessary around these people and to behave in an appropriate fashion around them.

If you're having bad dreams stop listening to the Paraliminal for a couple of days and lighten the intensity of your intension. It seems you've taken too much on and if the dreams bother you, you need to lower the anxiety in stages. like starting with not feeling anxious when you think about these people. Next not feeling anxious about going past a guard. Then work on being okay with dentist.

BTW, you seem focused on the bad dreams but on a scale of one to ten how anxious are you when you see an authority figure like a guard?
