It sounds like a nice dream. I'm assuming you've never seen these towns in real life before. Are they a mixture of towns you've seen in real life, maybe real towns or even ones you've seen on TV? That may help to explain why they look the way they do, and the feelings associated with them. Call me crazy... But I do think people can give themselves hints about the future. Sometimes I think it's because their unconscious has done some math and logic for improving your life, and sometimes I wonder if we can sense future changes somehow. Either way, is there any nice mountain towns with shops you've been thinking about in real life?

Also, it could be your inner mind giving you hints about what you want to do in your life.
