Another Dream where I'm looking for someone

I wonder why I've been having dreams for a couple of years now that involve me searching for my now husband, caleb.

This dream was about me going to my parents' house for a barbeque. For some reason, their house was our old home: we haven't lived there since i was 15 years old. Anyhow, the BBQ went nicely, but a bunch of random events started taking place. I don't remember them all, but...One of our neighbors and her daughter were standing in the yard, staring into the sky. I walked over and asked what they were doing. They explained that the daughter had created the sunset, but that it looked weird. More and more people came around to stare and discuss, but I just looked. for some reason their kitchen was outside. I took a seat at the island, and watched from a distance. then the sunset in the sky turned into a painting in the kitchen, and we were all inside, at yet another bbq.

After a while, it started to get late, and we magically appeared back at home. People were all over the place and more people were showing up. My mom started stressing me out by planting thoughts of caleb cheating on me in my head. I tried to go to the bathroom, but as soon as I sat on the toilet, my aunt Deanna's kids busted into the room and started playing, chasing each other. i was so ready to go home, but no one could take me right away. When I went to call Caleb, i couldn't find my phone, and I couldn't remember his number.

Finally, I found my phone, but something was wrong with it. When I pressed a 7 it would dial a 2, and the numbers were all jumbled, so it made it difficult for me to make the call. I got so frustrated, I started crying. My cousin came up with the idea that we should go through the family directory, that was written on posters and were conveniently sitting on the table. I went through the names and found my husband's.

I picked up the house phone to dial his number, but i was nervous for some reason, so i was hitting wrong buttons. And everytime i pressed the wrong number, i would hear a voicemail message from him.

VM#1: Andriea, if you get this message, you need to call me ASAP. Now, the whole church is praying, because we're worried about you.

Apparently, he had no idea where I was. So, I get more nervous, trying to call him...still messing up.

VM#2: I see how you wanna do. You with your parents, huh? Bullshit! We'll see how you like it if I don't call you and you don't know where I am or what I'm doing.

By this time, I was franticly dialing. I finally dialed the right number, and when Caleb picked up, I was crying like Ron Burgundy in the phone booth...he could barely understand what I was talking about.

Then, out of nowhere, I woke up, startled by the automatic airfreshener i bought yesterday. It sprayed, and i jumped up, looking around. I hopped out of bed, and found Caleb in the kitchen, where i grabbed him and hugged him. He knew i was bothered by something, so he held me tight and then asked me to explain...
