I want to have several pages that contain dynamically selected information
I know views can create the list for me. How do I take that list and combine it into the main content of my page
For example
There is a "page" content type
the main section will have..
-content that only displays on that page such as pictures
-a list of tittles of other nodes (filtered)
-the content of other nodes (filtered)
My idea is that taxonomy, views , contextual views, will be involved.
How do I mix dynamic content into my main content of the page?
I just need keywords, modules, etc. so I can research this more.

May be you can make different
May be you can make different blocks in views for different purposes like showing filtered nodes titles, filtered nodes body, etc. Then make use of panels module to place them on the main page Or use context module.

To a large degree it depends
To a large degree it depends on what the main content is.
In general term you can use views to create blocks that you then add the content area.
The key is how one relates the main content to the view(s) and why what the main content is makes a difference.
Take the case of a page displaying a single piece of content (node, ie path of the form node/{nid}), you can use a module like Views Node Taxonomy Filter allows you to filter a view by the nodes taxonomy terms.
So there is no single approach but the key will be how the page and view(s) are related.
