cabin away

I dreamt that I was visiting a cabin somewhere. I'm not sure if it was at the coast or in the woods. It felt nice though maybe like an escape from things, but more like something new to visit.  It was green and easy. I had thought I was going to be there alone, but I think my dad was there. I told him about an antiques store up the road and that they had guitars there. I thought he would shrug his shoulders and not care, but he told my cousin's daughter, "I know this isn't something you all would be interested in, but there are some antique guitars there, so we are going to go take a look."

Then I was at a picnic table. We were either under the canopy of the trees or it was a bit overcast. A guy I used to work with was there but he was actually a mix of two people I know. One that is sweet as can be and positive. The other that is single and humdrum and seems to focus on the not so good. I was seeing the face of the positive one. He was glowing. He had come here with his new girlfriend and I was really happy for him. They started talking about that they had trimmed a bush near the cabin so there was an easier path to the ocean. They said "now you can take the truck down there since it is sand dollar season." But it seems the owner of the cabin didn't quite care for it, so took all of the trimmings and put them in the trail.

Then I was in the cabin, also very dark. I think I was waiting for my dad but not sure. I sat in an easy chair for a bit and was flipping channels. There wasn't much on. My dad was there and a friend sitting in chairs too... although these people changed to other people. I was looking at the menu of things I could watch coming up, but I guess if you had watched them before, they stayed downloaded in your system so you didn't have to wait for the new time. My dad made a comment on what I had watch. I said that I really just had it on for noise. I purchased a ticket to San Diego. Not sure why... maybe something I could do there. I As the two men were talking... now an ex coworker (DL) and another guy, I decided to cancel. The guys were talking about a construction project. (DL) had been managing it for other guy's company. I piped up about at first the construction guys wouldn't let us through without ID. DL grimaced knowing they were just tossing their power around. It was better now. DL could see what I was doing. I said I wanted to cancel. I wanted to go somewhere different than San Diego. He asked where I would like to go. Was I going to go to the same old place I'd been over and over?  I knew I was able to see friends there, but I did want to see something. I said Norway. I've always wanted to see the fjords.

They left and I got up. The couple was there again and now talking about how you could hear through the wood stove's pipes. They had told the owner but he hadn't seemed to care. They said something about the microwave working in their and then I quit listening.
