Scavenger Hunt (LONG)

Date: 1/11/2019

Me and some random classmates went on a field trip somewhere. We got on a bus and when we got to our destination, they explained how the field trip/scavenger hunt would work. They told us that we will find cards labeled with a number 1, 2, or a 3. The cards with number 1 on them had nothing. Number 2 cards would be a small reward in them and number 3 cards would have the best rewards. We had a time limit to find as many cards as we could. They took us to three different places. The first location of the scavenger hunt was where we arrived after the bus ride. We also collected slips of paper throughout each location. I remember collecting them, but I can’t remember if anything was written on them, or what their significance was to the scavenger hunt at the end. After the time expired on that location, we got on the bus again and went to the second location and continued the scavenger hunt. The time ran out at that location and we got on the bus again to a third location. This location was special because there was some kind of small kitchen that seemed to be used as a prop scene, meaning it wasn’t a real kitchen. There were long tables set up all over the place, but they let us start the hunt for the numbered cards. The only place I remember looking in this location (and throughout the entire dream) was in the mock kitchen on top of the fridge. I pulled up a chair and got on top of it, because I could see something up there that looked unusual. In fact, it was a number 3 card in a red or orange colored envelope. I opened it up (I had never stumbled upon one before) and there was a card that had a random message that was written to me directly (I think). I couldn’t see who it was from, but I think it was supposed to be a random teacher. There was also a gift card for admission of 2 people into an American football game. I think I tucked these items into the front pocket in my hoodie. I kept looking on top of the fridge because I saw more, and there was. Another card with the number 3 was up there, it was further back than the previous card. I opened it up and there was another message that seemed to be meant for me, but I don’t know who it was from or what any of the two cards on top of the fridge said. After reading that second card, there was another valuable gift, but I can’t remember what it was. I got down off the chair and to my surprise, all of the other classmates were in a chair at the long tables, and I can’t remember if they were taking some kind of quiz, or if they were looking at all of their prizes and organizing them for the trip back to our school. Everyone was quiet, so I took a seat and decided to go through my stuff quietly too, thinking that everyone found all the cards. As I’m going through my mess of stuff, another group shows up at the door, and the adult in charge at this destination told us that time ran out and to get our stuff together and to start walking to the door. Because I seemed to have gotten a lot of stuff from the scavenger hunt that I wasn’t able to organize, I was the last out the door, so the person in charge of that location closed the door behind me. The last thing I remember is putting my hands into the pockets of my hoodie and keeping all of my prizes secure while me and my class walked to the bus. The End
