Dreams are not well planned out cinematographic projects. They are the random ebb and flow of schemas present in your psyche, following the tides of association. Sometimes things will multiply, or be present in great quantities, because it is easy: copy paste. Sometimes things will disappear temporarily just because. Nothing is really there physically so it's not strange that some details morph, disappear, or are lacking in the first place. Faces might be incomplete. Whole objects even. In a dream of mine, I was driving half a car, but the missing bits of the car were inconsequential to the dream. Even the passenger was missing but they soon reappeared after I ignored their absence knowing that's how dreams work. These are some natural patterns of dreams.
So in your dream, you're walking in a familiar setting (familiar) and one woman has two canes (multiplication). Her bottom part disappears (missing visuals).
Ok, up to here, everything is normal. It seems like a very normal dream. Just very familiar. The dream being weird as dreams are by multiplying and missing visuals. All too normal.
Then comes in your critical mind. You're sleeping so it's not so bright just then but it's still there. There's many things that your critical mind is missing at that moment and I guess you don't realize you are dreaming, but you do think it's weird that this woman's legs are missing. That's your conscious mind responding to the dream by being critical.
Then, the dream responds to your reaction. A woman voices your very concern to the lady whose body is disappearing. Only natural.
By now, there's lots of focus on that woman's body, so the visuals become complete again. There are sometimes delays in such things. But it's only natural that her body comes back, especially now that it is the focal point of the dream.
Then, she gives you a nonsense story (locations don't match, just kind of random but recognizable) and you're so weirded out by her story. This inspires the dream to show you a News Article about a mystery woman. She's dead! Wow. Where could she have been from?
All in all, I think this dream is very baseline. Like, looking in the side mirror of your car. Seeing familiar things with the slight optical illusions as described at the bottom of the very same mirror.

Generally, if you are interested in interpreting your dreams, I suggest looking at patterns. Do not focus on just one dream. Have a dream journal and after a while, take note of patterns. What are some common scenarios. How do your dreams behave? How do you behave. Don't waste time on patterns that are inherent to dreaming. If while dreaming, things disappear, that's just dream mechanics. If you are critical of weird things within the dream, that's just your conscious mind responding to the dream.
For myself, a pattern that I found interesting was that I realized my dreams were often about running away from giant communities of people. Seeing this pattern, I asked myself, how does this reflect my living experience? Well, I do feel anxious around people... Oh my god. I have social anxiety. I had never really noticed how I couldn't hold a glass of water in public without making spills. So from there, I was able to heal my social anxiety to somewhere where it is better and my social life has much improved. That's an example. Last night, walking in a dream, I came by an amazing restaurant with open doors and inviting music. Instead of going in, I assumed I didn't belong there and moved along. Thinking about the dream, I realized I have a pattern in dreams of thinking restaurants are off limits to me. How does this reflect my living experience? Well, I am careful about money and I have only recently allowed myself to go to restaurants but my family criticizes me for it. Well, what's my financial situation? It's good enough for me to go to the restaurants without stressing about it. So I spent all day thinking about myself going to restaurants and paying for myself and others, also visualizing myself in dreams at restaurants, taking money out to pay and thinking I can provide this for myself. So that I can overcome that barrier in my mind telling me restaurants are off limit for me. Hopefully in future restaurant dreams, I'll enjoy the food from now on.

In the dream you provided, there's little room to spot a particular pattern that you could think about and see how it reflects to your lived experience. Dream characters' shirt color or the distance between their hypothetical home and their current location on their little trek are pretty irrelevant to you. I just went and looked at the four dreams you posted recently. Two are about sports and two include a News about a death. I can sort of imagine the four dreams being connected in a similar theme: television experience. Are you someone who watches sports and the news on TV? It feels to me these dreams are all reflections of that, like residual memories of your day, watching TV but somewhat strange due to the nature of dreaming. I personally wouldn't make much of this. For example, I often have dreams that I am playing a game. These dreams are just reflections of games I've played. They're fun.
