Alright. I don't know who Cyprian is, so here's the best I can do.
Part the First: Cyprian's persona--the emotions and way of thinking he represents--is in extreme conflict with your sense of gender (or possibly sexuality; I don't know you well enough to determine which). His personality is being repressed, and is possibly changing as a result. Without knowing anything about Cyprian, I can't go into more detail.
Part the Second: This one deals with your own outlook on sexuality and relationships. You're currently making some difficult choices about your own interests as a sexual being. I think this is an ongoing struggle, and one whose depth you're not fully aware of. This seems most pertinent to identity; I believe the blond woman represents a part of you that might be more flirtatious or feminine in representation (not necessarily passive or submissive; I see this as more "femme" which may mean more self-oriented or expressive of oneself around others). Your conflict with her is in deciding whether that archetype will play a strong role in your sexual self-expression, or not. You like the idea of being more like this woman sexually, but you're too committed to your current self to change to be more like her. So, you're competing to retain control of your sexual self-expression and prevent any change. Presently, you're winning, but the conflict is becoming a drain on your mental energies.
Floating in water in this situation indicates to me that there are memories or experiences you're not quite aware of that bear directly on this issue. In other words, I don't expect you to be critically aware of this conflict in your waking life. If you are, then I believe there's even more to it than you currently realize.
