The Hunt

So I was sitting at the terminal of an airport I've never seen and I was sitting next to some random people, but as is with most dreams, everything was weird. The seats were on the ground and sort of tilted back and I had my passport, plane ticket, purse, and cell phone on me. Some people that were sitting next to me came and went and I distinctly remember this sketchy looking chick sit down next to. Of course, I get up to do something and come back and I remember she had two passports and I was like wtf but I didn't say anything because what do I know?

She gets up and leaves and I look through my stuff to find out that not only is my passport gone, but my ticket to Europe as well. I begin to panic because the ticket is worth like $150o. After frantically searching and harassing the people next to me what they saw, I head to the front desk and tell them my things are missing on the off chance they might know something or can help me. Miraculously, someone has turned in my passport but not the boarding pass. My flight leaves in like 2 hours, at 6 p.m., so I'm basically screwed unless I can find it (at least in my dream, anyway).

Then there was some transition period where I found out where these random people were and I asked around and after some threatening of lives, some meek, round boy told me that he had indeed seen my ticket and it was this girl he knew. (Funny enough she's a girl in my Animal Behavior class but I've never talked to her before. I'm probably going to look at her funny the next time I see her.) He told me that she had shown him the ticket and was bragging about it or something. I asked him where she was and he said she was running a marathon today. Anyway, another transition period later I found her and confronted the little thief. Of course she denied it and took off running.

It became difficult to find and catch her because of all the other runners in this race. We weren't on city streets or anything, it was a weird jumble of rooms and trails, I don't know. Eventually I found her by the edge of this drop off thing. There was a fence and below it was water and in the middle of this there was an island with the largest anaconda snake I've ever seen, curled up and very much awake. I demanded she give me it back because I knew she had it. She honored my wishes by turning into a dog and sliding through the railing and before I could grab her, she had fallen into the water in the enclosure below. I watched the dog paddle to the edge while the huge snake slithered into the clear water, looking for its next meal. It was a close race but the dog made it to the edge quicker than the snake could reach it. She turned back into a person and ran off. I continued the hunt.

I finally found her up ahead and she was running really fast so I had to and I was exhausted (probably reminiscent of how far I had to walk last night and how tired I was all night). I finally caught up to her and got the ticket back somehow. I had already missed my flight though, and I woke up to the thought of hoping the airline would let me switch it for a later time.
