Fear of Flying

Dear Internets,

In my dream last night, I was at the airport. I was ready to fly to Mexico for my step-sister's wedding. I was there early, bright-eyed and bushy tailed, for my 6 AM flight. The representative at the desk told me that I could no longer fly on the flight I had bought my ticket for. "Is the plane still making the flight?" I demanded.

"Yes, but-"

"I don't understand why I can't be on the flight. I bought my ticket months ago."

"And we will refund your money so you will be able to take a different flight at another time."

"My sister's wedding is tomorrow. I need to be on that flight."

"No one can get on that flight."

"Then why is it even flying?"

"Because George Bush bought all the seats."

"How can someone - former president or not - buy all the seats on a plane when many of them had already been sold?"

I refused to accept the fact that I couldn't be on this flight. The airline had no other flights to Cancun that day. I couldn't buy a flight on another airline because I didn't have any money. When my brother showed up at the airport, I woke up.

I don't think it's a good sign when I have dreams about not making it to my step-sister's wedding when it's still 4 months away. Maybe I'm just afraid I won't be able to pay for it.

Love,
Becky
