i don't know what dreams mean but i think you are going about this the right way.
a few weeks or so ago, i, too, had this very strange dream in which the kids and i went to where my h is currently living. it was very dark, dark colored wood, everything decorated in blue color tones but all so very dark.
i ended up going in the bedroom and there was nothing of his in that place. in the drawers were old doilies, like the kind your grandmother would have laying around, books with no writing in them.
today h called to tell me he lost his job.
i do not know if there is any significance to the dream and this job loss.
