Wow, she says!! (a little slow on the uptake, I am, but I'm glad I found it later rather than never!!)
I'd rather have your dream than the ones I usually have, about Nate and I trying to find a place to live. Or being married and divorced and remarried -- the recurring dream that has recurred so many times that I sometimes have to think carefully to remember it's only been once...
Here's what I see: even though you did follow your husband, the place you followed him to is a place you obviously found to be beautiful, alive, peaceful... much more pleasant than the lifeless gray city you were in. Natural. I was also struck by the "oh, it's a Miyazaki dream!" nature of it all. :)
Usually the dreams that stay with you because they're so vivid mean something is changing at a deep level. Have you been feeling external pressure from someone or something about having decided to be a stay at home mom, you lucky duck? (oh, sorry...that last phrase wasn't supposed to be there *sweatdrop*) Because that reads to me like a subconscious message that you've left the hard-lined concrete world from something much more real.
Maybe your husband's turning and smiling at you means that it's REALLY ok for you to be there. In the softer place. That he encourages you. :)

And in a random response to what was probably a rhetorical question: you're not an idiot-savant, you have a particular skill which is called "wayfinding" in the psychological literature. I have this too. If I have to travel to a strange place I rarely have any problem getting from point A to point B -- and am always surprised by the people who don't seem able to see and/or read all of the directional signs and context hints we build into our public spaces. And yet I can get lost in town (ask Kymaera...I think he catalogs the numbers of times I've taken the wrong turn with him in the car. *grumbles*)
