I was boarding a plane as a party of 3. We were offered a complimentary check-in for our carry-ons, a black & a red backpack. We happily obliged only to realize mid-flight that our documents (passport) & valuables (money) were still in it too.

Next thing I know I’m in a public transport with my 2 companions heading to a destination I only overheard someone saying during a small talk pre-boarding. It was a movie theatre in a small town. I was on a mission to get here to find this person who I strongly believe would have our backpacks with her.

We don’t have money with us to pay for our fare since everything was in our now lost backpacks. When the driver said: “Hey you, is this where you get down? We’re at the theatre.” I responded “Oh yes, it is”, nudged my companions to get off with me while adding a “Thank you” for the driver to hear while stepping out of the vehicle, trying not to make eye contact. I did feel the driver stare dirtily while grunting our a sarcastic “Thank you?” Then drove away.

We fell in line at the box office, having no solid idea as to what movie the person we’re looking for may be in, but guessed one. Instead of getting tickets, told the clerk of what’s happened and asked a favor to check the presence of the red and the black backpack from the audience.

We waited in the lobby for what seems like forever only to be told, “Sorry, but a lady in there said the red & black backpack were hers”. I remember feeling disappointed then woke up feeling unsettled.

Resolution:

- I could’ve called the cops in and filed a police report as my next step. Better yet, I should’ve called the cops to file a police report first before heading to the movie theatre, where they may even escort if I told them this detail for a lead. And a hope of a more favorable outcome.

- Why would I go to a movie theatre to find my luggage? Shouldn’t I be waiting in baggage claim instead? I am not certain if I skipped an unrecalled detail in my dream. Maybe we did go to baggage claim but then saw that random person grab our bags and we tried to pursue, hence, public transport scene.
