Complicated

This dream had a lot of plot to it, but I apparently didn't follow a lot of it in the dream because at the end of the dream I was like 'I don't get it' and Shari had to explain it to me.

The story is about a girl who seems to live in a nice palace but the guy who owns the palace is away on a long journey. At first she kind of pines in her room and doesn't go out much. Once she comes out of her room to go to the bathroom (which has no walls) and 2 ladies are in the kitchen and don't see her go to the bathroom (which is right by the kitchen) and one woman pours a white substance (salt? flour? cornstarch?) onto her while she is sitting on the toilet. She just looks at them. The house has lots of large windows to see out of. Eventually she goes out searching for something, but I'm not sure what. There's a parade that goes by blocking traffic. She's on her bike stopped by the road waiting for a break in the parade. Her mother is beside her on one side and there was a guy waiting to cross the street but he gives up because the parade is too long and goes to go around her bike but he trips into it and lands on the ground. He blames her. She is also hurt because the bike hit her on the way down. He hurt his arm and she hurt her leg.
Then she is on a boat and they are driving by the back of New York. Such a beautiful view of the backs of houses. It was a spectacualar boat trip.
Then they are back at the palace and there is much excitement there. Apparently the man has come back. Everyone in the palace is in a frenzy but she can't see him. Then there is peace.

A dream dictionary says to dream about a palace means:
To see a palace in your dream, symbolizes prominence and wealth. You are ready to utilize your full potential.
Which I hope is true!

But the dream seems to me a picture of us and God. I live as His child in His world(palace). The bathroom might represent cleansing and the kitchen birth or transformation as we head out into the world. The flour might represent frugality, which I am, relatively speaking. Then out in the world, you get hurt, but you are on a brilliant trip on the river (can symbolize consciousness). How I think the trip is brilliant when I really get to see the core of people (the backyards that could be seen from the boat- most people present their front yards, but back yards can be just as beautiful). Then at the end of the trip we get back to God's palace and expect to receive Him. And He brings peace.
