I seldom remember dreams very long. This one I had 3 nights ago and the clarity of my recollection of the details surprises me. The dream was not a nightmare meaning I didn't wake up jammering or panting or with higher heart rate, but when it ended I had a general bad feeling.

It started with me looking at my hand and realizing my wedding ring was missing from my finger. I never take my ring off so it was strange to me. At the moment I noticed the ring was missing my wife stands next me and gives me the ring telling me she had taken it in order to clean it. And indeed as I put on the ring it radiates very brightly.(as soon as I put the ring on my wife is out of the dream btw) It radiates with such brightness I can not really see the shape of the ring, it's like looking at a miniature sun. I'm looking at awe at my finger wondering how she had accomplished cleaning my ring so well. As soon as I raise my hand somewhat to look at the ring better, the radiation fades immediatly.
What I see is that my wedding ring is actually wooden. Now my real wedding ring has some kind of star pattern flowing around it, this wooden ring had it too. The wooden ring was light colored wood yellowing at the edges and the star shapes were like they were amateurishly burned in the middle. Suddenly the ring starts growing in size and the edges curl upwards, also the shape of the ring becomes deformed (meaning no longer perfectly rounded). I take steps back from the ring (apparantly I am no long wearing it), and then I woke up.
The whole scene from the moment I see that the ring is wooden in my dream I look at the ring as if looking at it in a close up. Even at the end when I step away from the ring the whole time I actualy see the ring huge in front of me.

The clarity of the dream surprised me. Also whenever there's a quiet moment during the day my mind wanders back to the frame of the deforming ring. I can't seem to get over it... Perhaps anyone knows what this dream means so I could deal with the feelings it leaves for me?

Thanks for any help.
