My personal opinion is that your good friend is not appearing in the dream as herself; but as some aspect of yourself that you see in her; and that it is she who has hurt the gecko.
It goes without saying, take a look at the waking relationship. Perhaps there's some friction or worse there that you're not acknowledging. Also, though, ask yourself what this person's faults and shortcomings are. Which of these do you see in yourself? Or, what are thye traits which are right for her but wrong for you?
