Sane or not so sane?

I don't normally think too much about my dreams. That is until I learned that God can communicate to us through them. I don't normally share them either out of fear of being called insane.
Today however, I feel the need to share this one. While napping I was having a very intense dream-- I was dreaming that I was running back and forth up and down my street trying to find my neighbors, my husband, my uncle who had come by to visit. Trying to find anything familiar. The scene was a day much like today, gloomy sky but with about a half a foot of snow on the ground. It was eerily quiet. I ran to my neighbor's house to see if she was there to ask what was going on, but a whole new family had moved in and I was even more confused then. So I left and ran to the top of the street and turned to look and see an aqua blue pick up truck driving off before I had a chance to ask them what happened to everyone and everything. I was completely and utterly alone. But not only that, all the houses were the same, but they weren't. I don't know how else to explain it accept they had turned into different functioning places. My house happened to turn into a toy factory when I ran back down to see if Trey or David had returned. That is the point that I woke up.
When I woke from this dream I felt a little confused as you might imagine. I immediately asked God what the significance of this dream meant and sure enough I got an answer....
The Lord told me that I really am alone in this world no matter how many people are in it. All I have is Him and my focus should be on that relationship versus all the other people I feel I need to be in relationship with. Even if there were no people left in this world, God it still there. In a way the dream was more comforting after hearing that. But it also tells me that I need to focus more on God and not so much on others. At first it was scary being all alone. I think that is one of my biggest fears is being abandoned and having no one to confide in. But hello, God wants that with me!!! Why is it that I will go to everyone else before I confide in Him? How do I change this?
