Some thoughts:

It seems like you were at a loss for why people were honoring you.

As though you were just doing what needed to be done, and they were pumping it up.

Compare when someone writes a book in privacy, then suddenly it is out in worldwide view. The product wasn't any better after it hit the market, than at the composing desk.

Silver is precious, but takes a little work to prevent tarnishing.

A recipient might prefer live flowers, instead of the formal fuss and rigidity of metal. But its value holds universal permanence.

Red is often an alert, like stop lights. Some people feel invigorated by red, feeling more alive and ready. Red can also be regal, traditional, wealthy, in-charge. Bullfighting.

There might have been a "this is me/this is not me" thought process.

Restaurant -- a place where people make choices, consume, get together in public. Your group even chose to shift tables.

Your parents' home -- where you originally felt "yourself." But in their room, not yours.

I'm not pulling this all together for a conclusion; but think it might involve healing how you'd been percieved by people. You had a lot of unexpected recognition to handle at once.

We see a theme of union of opposites.

mother + father

bedroom + restaurant

red + silver

you + guests

What feeling does your old home evoke? What floor is your parents bedroom on? Do you consider pizza to be a well deserved treat or guilty pleasure?

You can look up what red and silver means.

This dream seems very positive!
