Dream: Rendezvous at the book store; driving; phone call

I had another dream two nights ago.. I fell asleep on the couch and didn't wake up until like 6am.

[It's daytime.. sunny out]

on my mountain bike: (I can't remember where this fit in the sequence/chronology of the dream) I'm going somewhere but I'm not sure how to get "there". I ride down the street that gradually slopes down to a dead-end to where I think I should go.. off to the left I see a trailhead of sorts.. it's like a portal.. made from plywood.. can't see what's beyond it from the street.. seems like a mtn bike trail or an obstacle course.. just as I'm starting to investigate the entrance I see two people ride past on the road. I back my bike up and go where they just went.. it's a trail next to train tracks.. more industrial area.. the disappear up ahead.

[it's late afternoon for this part of the dream]

book store: I remember walking through the book stacks with her. There are stairs leading up and down amongst different levels/rooms like Powell's but smaller. There's a tiny cafe where we met and where we return after browsing for awhile. She heading into the cafe and I tell her I'll be back.. I have something pressing to do but can't recall what it was. I leave in my truck.

[it's darker now, like at dusk]

pulling up to my place: there's a newly planted tree outside.. wooden stairs to front door. not a familiar house on the outside but has the same layout as my current place on the inside. I start getting ready for bed.. then realize she wasn't coming here.. she was waiting for me at the bookstore. I was supposed to go back.. running around hastily, finding my jeans and putting on my shoes without untying the laces.. getting back in the truck and rushing back..

[it's dark now, nighttime]

on the freeway, like Hwy 26 Eastbound at the Zoo exit. don't read the signs..take the wrong exit.. it's a dead end.. I realize but continue to the end.. like a factory or machine shop. industrial.. there's a silo, like for loading concrete.. I do a u-turn.. heading back the other way, there are workers on foot.. they are in uniforms like they work at hotel.. not a factory.. some are in pairs talking, others are on bikes .. some others are walking alone.

making the phone call I want to tell her I'm on my way back so she doesn't leave the bookstore/cafe. I can't seem to dial the number.. I finally to pull up her number in the address book on my cell phone and press the button.. it rings and rings. then a guy answers and says "we're in the middle of something". Hangs up.

[I'm awake now]

I wake up and am disoriented. I remember falling asleep on the couch.. it's still dark out as we just switched to Daylight Savings time.. I try to go back to sleep to see what happens next but I can't.. my stomach is in knots.. Tangie starts meowing when he sees me stirring. I get up.

The End.
