Pat,
The 'two' possible meanings to every image/dream is an application of Jungian concept I have found to be a constant truth. The dream will focus on recent waking life experiences and at the same time address 'inner' aspects {masculine/animus} traits/foundations. Usually there is a primary focus on one or the other, often depending on the age of the dreamer {older person's dreams more often focused on reflection and foundation issues}. This is one reason I ask for age when posting a dream. I dare say the issues over retirement disagreements with your husband is a primary issue. But very likely the inner issues concerning the animus also.
