Portal
I dreamt we were driving home but a bit lost and we went down this hill and at the bottom of this hill was this huge very pristine beach. I didn't know where we were but I knew it wasn't anywhere near home. It appeared to be a salt water beach but we were headed east and you have to go west to get to salt water beaches here. The beach was very clean, and most of the beaches here are covered with aquatic plant material and algae, and other debris.
I said to Tina, "We're not anywhere near where we live. I wish we lived some place like this." But still I don't know where we are, none of the streets are familiar. The road we headed down towards the beach initially seemed like 95th Street NE in Seattle was you head towards Sand Point, but there were no cross streets or houses, just forest. There were mountains kind of to the sides also.
I saw one other person at the beach and he had an old van. We followed him to his house which was up on a hill in the woods. It had a narrow driveway leading up. He lived there with his wife and there was another man that I think was his brother or something. It was more like a cabin, an old run down cabin, than a house. Strangely though, out in the middle of nowhere, they somehow had electricity.
We went into the house and I was talking to the man's wife and brother. They said we were in Greenland, that every three or four years a portal opens up between there and where we lived. They said we would be stuck there for three or four years until the portal opens up again. It wasn't like the real Greenland, that is, it wasn't covered in ice, it was really green. It was also heavily forested except for the beach.
I decided I didn't want to stay, I wanted to go back the way we came, follow the road, hope that it would come to something resembling civilization somewhere, but we found out the man we followed up, while we were in talking to his brother and sister, he had removed some parts from our car rendering it inoperable.
Strangely, I didn't get real angry about it, I did say that we'd really like to have our car parts back and he said he would like to give them to us but he couldn't because he traded them for some things. After some discussion he finally allowed us to see what the things he traded them for were. He had traded them for a bunch of those three plug to one plug AC outlet adapters. He didn't actually use them, he collected them for some reason.
I was woken up out of the dream at that point. It's odd, because it didn't have a nightmarish feel to it at all, more like some sort of fantastic and strange adventure.
