I had a dream that we were all on a cruise ship, the family. We were going somewhere tropical for a vacation. We got off the first boat at a port, and we walked across a promenade into a building so we could catch a flight to the island. I had to go back to the boat for something, and so I had to come back to the building, and I had to walk through the water. I was wearing shorts and shoes, and I could feel the water around my waist. I was carrying whatever it was above the water level.
Dad was there, too, and Mom. They had gone ahead to get onto the plane (which turned out to be a second boat). And I said I would carry something for Dad. And we had time, so I decided to stop at the duty free. I asked the man behind the counter for two bottles of red wine. He didn’t speak English, I don’t think. And a woman came up, a blonde, and she also ordered two bottles of red wine. She got hers right away, and paid with a Paypass credit card. I couldn’t find my credit card, so I ended up having to pay in cash. And then he had to reach under the counter into a ziploc bag to get me Canadian change. On top of which, the man didn’t have enough English to tell me the cost, so he had to print the receipts and then give them to me. One bottle was $10.99, and the second was $11.99. I gave him fifty dollars, and I ended up getting about $2.50 in change. Yep, the guy in my dream ripped me off!!
By then, I was late for the plane/boat boarding. So I grabbed this incredibly heavy bag that I’d told Dad I would carry, and I put my two bottles of red wine in it, and I headed down to my left to go back out. Except a Black man with a Hawaiian shirt and dreds stopped me and said, “can’t go that way.” Of course not, that was the way I’d come in. I had to go out to my right, not my left. So I went back past the duty free, but I didn’t go up enough levels in the building, and I ended up coming out again in the water. And it turns out that I was too low, so I had to climb onto the dock, because I didn’t have time to go back through the building and go out the correct door. So I dragged the big bag through the water, and I realized that the dock turned slightly, so it was slightly wider at one point. So I put the bag there, and I started pulling myself up onto the dock. That’s when I realized that Uncle Peter was there, so I said something, so he’d know that someone from his family was there with him. And then I realized that the voice that I could hear speaking was Uncle Rob, behind Uncle Pete. Then I got onto the boat, and I could feel the sun on my back, and the tropical water all around me… And we were off, starting our vacation… and then I woke up.
