It sounds like this dream is trying to tell you that there is an issue or issues that you have to deal with before you can move forward in your life (get out of bed without falling down or having a fit).

These could have to do with your ex-boyfriend, or something that your ex-boyfriend reminds you of. Possibly, your ex-boyfriend just represents the past in general. The dog and cat probably also represent your past, that is things you believe you have put behind you but are now finding that you still have to deal with.

The fact that your ex-boyfriend has to help you and that you keep apologising could indicate that you could feel helpless to do anything about the situation. Since the animals represent your past, your boyfriend's anger at the animals could be your anger about things that happened in the past. Your parents' house also represents your past.

Your request to watch out for bumps and potholes could represent a fear that if you try to deal with the situation, you will just make it worse.

It would help if we knew a little bit more about your relationship with your ex-boyfriend, and the concepts that he might represent to you in your dream life.
