The Capture of the Cane and the Journey Home

I think I started out and I was on some sort of quest or something to get a special cane or staff from somewhere, but as it turned out, some other guy with "lower interests" had gotten to it first. I think that I spotted him in an airport or something, and so somehow a group of people and I got it from him, and I tried to pack it up with my stuff so I could go home. It wouldn't fit in any of the luggage I had, so I just had to stack it under some of my things to make sure it wouldn't get lost.

After putting my things onto the back of a bus, I boarded the bus and rode around for a bit. I was needing to get to the airport so that I could go home, although I'm not sure if it was the same one that I had started out at or not.

After riding around for some time, I knew that time was growing short for me to board my flight, and so I finally got the driver to stop down at the end of the terminal and let me out. (Somehow my things had already made it onto the plane) So, as I got out of the bus, I saw my plane down at the opposite end of the runway taxiing up to my end to then take off. Since the plane was no longer at the terminal, I didn't quite know what I was going to do about getting on the plane. I decided to run down to where the plane was coming towards me and hope that the plane would stop and let me on, but it didn't. It went right past me up to where the bus had dropped me off. It then turned around and started to head back. I decided that instead of running up to it again, I would wait where I was and wait for it to come to me.

So when I did, when it got close, I started running in the same direction so that I could catch onto it's landing gear and pull myself on. When I caught onto the landing gear, I was suddenly on board in the belly of the plane, just above the hole for the gear. I looked down, and Sefton (from Papa John's) was grabbing hold of the gear and pulling himself on top of it. The gear then raised up and he just lay on top of the metal wheel cover (which looked kind of football shaped) and waited out the flight. I then laid down where I was, facing the back of the plane, and I thought about how cold it must be on that wheel cover.

I noticed that the belly of the plane was pretty empty. There were a few things around here and there, and the area that the floor covered was huge, and out in front of me off to the right a little was a translucent area on the body of the plane that let in a little bit of light, which reminded me of an old warehouse with frosted or paint covered windows. I think that we then fell asleep there and just waited for the journey home.

The next thing I remember is that Sefton and I were out in the middle of this field area kind of like Avebury Hill, and mom and my family and several others who were familiar to me (but I can't remember who) were there and helping me and Sefton pack our things into the back of mom's new Aerostar (Ford's old mini-van), and I think that John (from Papa John's) was adjusting the seats around and stuff and helping us pack our things in there.

The next thing I know is that after all the greetings and hugs and everything during this time is that I'm finally "home", which was at Mike's (former step-father) house. I was outside, and I think I remember seeing someone walking along the road, or maybe I was the one walking along the road for whatever reason, but I ended up going inside, and it was very clean in there. Also, I think that everything as far as the building and stuff was finally complete.

Anyway, I walked over into the kitchen area, and Jay (from Papa John's) was there with my mom, and mom was just finishing up some cleaning, by where the stove was, and Jay was in front of the sink. When I walked in, he looks at me and then points over to where mom is finishing the cleaning and says, "Holy shit! Look how clean it is!!" He was pretty excited about it. I think I may have walked around for a short bit, and maybe I even went back outside, but I'm not sure.
