Journey to Guam

I was on a plane traveling to Guam. We were about to land in Japan for a layover when I noticed some of my luggage was missing. The plane travelled a long way on the ground after landing. I was constantly finding a piece of luggage only to lose another piece. At one point, I was missing my drivers license and someone said who cares, just finish the trip since you are passed security anyway. I said: and what? Just stay forever in Japan? One of my pieces of luggage was found and it contained Christmas wrapping paper. So I threw it away. Another bag was found but it was filled with hard back books that I viewed as weighting me down. I looked into my hand and saw a new crystal that was black with splotches of other colors. I asked someone what to do and they handed me an instruction guide that said first, go have a leisurely lunch since you have a long layover. But all the other steps in the guide were blank. I finally said to myself this is all so goofy, it must be a dream. But it didn’t seem like a dream but then it did so I told myself just to relax and soon I’ll wake up.
