Dream Five





My father needs to be surveyed for wireless internet. I go out with another individual who I don't know and we are to scout two locations. My dad is at both. The first is in a forest and has terrific line of sight through a small hole in all the trees. Everything lines up perfectly.

To get to the second, we park somewhere and begin a hike. We come to what looks like a deep river, but when I inspect it, it turns out that the water is only forming a thin layer on the surface of the rock. I start to walk across easily, then remeber halfway across that it really should be slippery because of the water, and suddenly it is. My companion starts to slip and crawls on his hands and knees across the river. The rock is black slate. There are few handholds.

Once on the opposite side, we climb up a small hill and can see the dual chimneys of my father's house. It is slightly recessed into the opposite side of the hill and has two cone-shaped towers on the top, each with a chimney coming out. The structure appears to be adobe, but every part of it is a slightly different tone of brownish redish yellowish color. We get great line of sight, but somehow forget to actually plug in the laptop and check signal. My dad is cheerful.

The towers in the distance look like power line supports, and there is a slight haze in the air... The hills feel moist... cool and covered in dew and grass. white and green.
