yes, you have to drop the original db, then use psql -f to restore it.

  You don't have to drop it, you can create another db by any other name and re-run the sql file there.  The only time you have to worry is if you use the -C (--create) option to pg_dump.  This would actually issue a 'create database' command in the sql dump.  But for you, you can restore to another database if you would like.
