I’ll Leave Flying to the Birds

On an airplane, missed a flight to Paris which [Liz] already boarded. At different points during the dream (mostly in order): I’m being chased and I escape through the doors from one plane to the next (they appear to be stacked); in a gift store when a riot breaks out and everyone grabs whatever they can to use as a weapon – I grab a belt – jewelry, clothing stands, hats are thrown to impale or injure; a family gathering or party is thrown and Ben is there – doesn’t vaguely look like him except for the red hair, and he remains throughout the rest of the dream including the shopping riot; Sarah appears briefly when I’m attempting to call [Liz], who keeps calling Kourtney Kardashian’s cell phone; Sarah and I make plans to catch another flight. In hindsight, I can’t imagine why I didn’t think to do it sooner.
