Interpretation of dreams

My initial reaction to my dream was to take it as it was: it told me who I used to be: Abadia. Should it be taken that way or should I interpret it somehow?

How can I explain the name I remembered? I do have read the Bible years and years ago but the name I heard in my dream was not pronounced as it was in the  Bible; Abadiah is a variant of Obediah, not exactly the same. Could my mind be so complicated that it was able to remember something and vary it? I do know "Dia" means God and "Obe" is almost like "obey" but English is not even may mother tongue!

Obediah is a minor prophet and his testament concerns the fall of Edom. I tried to read it but it didn't make any sense to me. I guess it was a false clue.

I see dreams that can easily be interpreted the most Freudian ways. According to him my most innocent dreams concern sex... I often dream of water tube slides… When I used to be single, I even dreamed of water parks! Now when I'm married I only have this one amazing water tube slide but I'm always very happy when I find it. It even have little flash lights on its roof! What could be better than that?!

I asked a friend what a word "abadia" brings to her mind. "Apathy", she replied. For me apathy is not a desirable state of mind, at least not as I know it. After little searching I found out it was a desired state of mind for stoic philosophers.
Pain is slight if opinion has added nothing to it; ... in thinking it slight, you will make it slight. Everything depends on opinion; ambition, luxury, greed, hark back to opinion. It is according to opinion that we suffer. ... So let us also win the way to victory in all our struggles, – for the reward is ... virtue, steadfastness of soul, and a peace that is won for all time.
-Seneca-
My apathy could be not to worry about things I can't help. There is something joyful about that, isn't there?

Still I'm not sure that's the right interpretation.
