your take on my dream please (very long and detailed)?

I was on a train ride up north. Husband was there, but in the dream I only saw him once or twice. It was beautiful outside-trees, rivers, mountains. Beauty everywhere. I remember hearing someone on the loudspeaker talking about a glass bridge that was once used, but has been closed down. They said if you look through the trees you can see it. I opened these russet colored velvet draperies and looked through a picture window. (still on the train, but stopped because no scenery was going past) There was a beautiful blue river below and spanning it was this bridge. Made of metal and glass. The sides/walls of the bridge were glass blocks, and the framework was metal. They were aged/cloudy, but still beautiful. I saw the floor (?) of the bridge and knew it was also made of glass, but it was dirty and if I walked on it, I knew it would break.

The scene changed and I was outside. The train was stopped for a break and we were allowed to stretch our legs. Then husband and I were in a rowboat, (I didn't see him, but knew he was there) but I don't remember any oars, but we were moving. No motor, no sails. We were on a slow moving river, and I was thinking how beautiful the scenery was. I dipped my hand into the cool water and it felt soooo good. I wanted to jump in. I looked up ahead and there was a kind of a pen in the water for swimming creatures. Kind of like a "Shamu" pen if you've ever been to Sea World. But more natural. There were 3 grizzly bears swimming in the water, lazily. Their fur was wet and I remember seeing the ends of their fur shining like silver.

Then I remember hurrying back to the train. I was thinking....OMG we're going to be late and miss the train! Sure enough the train had just pulled out of the station. We went inside and husband promptly disappeared, going to sightsee in the station/museum kind of building. I spoke to one of the workers and asked if they could call the train back. He told me no, but they would be waiting for us in Eugene and we can take a taxi up there to Eugene. I asked them if I could simply stay overnight and catch the next one. They said "No, because it's not the same train and your belongings will not be on the train." I am getting pretty stressed out at this point. I asked how much a taxi would be. The man told me to go outside and ask. As I approached the door, an older woman whispered to me, "Talk to the first car-they will deal with you" I went to the 3rd car instead and was told it would be 1400 dollars to drive up to Eugene. I gasped and felt my insides tighten up. I went to the second car and this woman was there. If you've ever seen the Muppets, she looked like a human version of Janice in the Electric Mayhem Band. Blonde-hippie type. She said she could get us there for 1000 bucks.

At this point I'm thinking, I don't have that kind of money in my checking account, and I don't have a credit card to cover it. I am near tears now and almost frantic. I am thinking..."Well, i could write a check and hope it didn't come through till I got paid" Then I realized that my wallet and all my belongings are on the train. I have nothing, no money, no cell phone, nothing. i am stuck in this town and no way to get out. Husband is no where to be found. I burst into tears, frustration, anger, sorrow, worry. all the emotions rolled into one. And then I woke up.

From re-reading it, this sounds a bit like financial worries. But that sounds too simple to me. Any ideas? If you have read this far, thanks for taking the time.

    what i read is:

    the unused bridge is beautiful, but dirty and fragile-- although a bridge may often refers to a transition or a passing over difficulties, or even marriage itself, taken together with the aforementioned adjectives, this strikes me as possible sexual symbolism.

    You are drifting lazily, then, because of your inattention, you find yourself stranded.

    oddly, you didn't miss the boat, but you did miss the train. this suggests that you are afraid that if you take the easy route, you're going to miss the opportunity to do what you had planned.

    and there's that whole disappearing husband in there too.

    I think you should talk to him.

    Well, I think we should start with the "husband". You'll notice that you refer to him as "husband" and not "my husband", so there's obviously some issues there. The whole dream is probably based on your relationship with him. The scenery is very beautiful, so you must have had a very nice relationship with him. This relationship was just taking you along very nicely, so that you didn't need to be in control of your own destiny. That's why there were no oars. You liked being able to trust your husband to provide for your happiness. But the bridge that takes you to this beautiful scenery is starting to crumble. You see a pen, which warns of being trapped. You then see some dangerous creatures, disguised as something beautiful. You realize the mirage and you know it's time to get back, to where you can control your own destiny. You are afraid of taking that leap, however. Do you have enough wherewithal to make it on your own? You have a job, but want more security. After all, what you're leaving is quite beautiful. Security, I think is what it is. You make your own money, but I guess he must make a tidy sum to add to that. I think you definitely want to be more free, but do you have the guts to become a real hippy/Jack Kerouac kind of person?

    To dream of your clothes, is symbolic of your public self and how you are perceived. It is indicative of the act you put on in front of others. Clothes are also an indication of your condition and status in life. Thus, if you wear clothes that do not suit you or that you normally would not wear, then it suggests that you are putting up a front and trying to deceive others. The dream may be a pun that something in your life is "unsuitable". It may be a symbol of hypocrisy and being someone that you are not. Alternatively, it could also mean that you are revealing a hidden part of yourself to the world. To dream that you are constantly changing your clothes, represents the need for change and your need to fit into a new situation or role. You need to establish a new self-image. ***To dream that your clothing is torn or ripped, indicates that there are some flaws in your thinking or thought process. Your logic is not making sense. You need to alter your reasoning and make a stronger argument. ***To see a blanket in your dream, symbolizes warmth, love, security and protection. You may be seeking for some form of shelter from the outside world. Consider also how your dream may be calling attention to a "cover-up" in some situation or circumstance in your waking life.
