This is a very interesting dream, newMica.These words came to me immediately ...
Present conditions, situations, and associations have brought about, connected with, this past life memory. You are surrounded by many of the same entities in this life, in various roles and in various associations. The garden you are planning now is the same as the garden you grew then, in the spirit of community, and with many of those past life associations, many now as children.
So, the dream garden is a literal experiential connection between this life and the other, but it is also symbolic of digging into your unconscious, where these past life memories exist. In the dream you ask yourself, "how deep is this going?" Indeed. It went pretty deep! 
In fact, had you kept dreaming, I wonder how much more deep it would have gotten. I feel like the end of this dream was beginning to lead into a connection with yet another past life. The river boat, while perhaps literal, can also be seen as a transition symbol, a transition from the Old West past life to one further back. The carving on the walls, the peculiar M words, the tatoo, and Metatron all have the feeling of the ancient mid-east ... don't you think?
Fascinating stuff.
How do you feel about what I have said?
If you need further clarification, please feel free to ask.
Thank you for sharing your dream!
Walk in Peace
