1) If you're completely new to magic, don't try to do anything specifically magical -- it's essential to know what you're doing before you try to do it. (Imagine never having ridden a bicycle before, and deciding that you're going to celebrate something or other by bicycling ten miles someplace!) Just come up with some symbolic action that's meaningful to you, and leave it at that.

2) Dream interpretation isn't one of my skills, but in your place I'd just consider that a strange dream and go on.
