Treacherous Ocean Journey to High School Reunion

to start me and a few people were about to embark on a journey where I believe we had to swim to the shore from the ocean in treacherous conditions. At the time I'm not sure what awaited at the shore, but knew it was good. So we start and not sure who I'm with but it's some HS people. The waves are huge and the sky is dark. There is no land in sight. The dream quickly "resets" to signify I drowned and didn't make it, but I didn't wake up, I was just now on this boat again and had to do it again. The first leg of this journey was the swim, where I was again with some random people from HS and I know Seth was there and we began the swim again. This time felt even harder. My energy felt depleted from using it the last time and the waves were just as big. But this time I had to press on. Not sure why, I didn't even know what was at the end of this quest, but I probably knew it was better than drowning over and over again. But again, it was harder this time around and quickly my vision began to blur and a headache came on as I was getting tossed around by the waves in the stormy sky. Just told myself to keep kicking, keep slogging forward and even if I pass out my body would still get me there. Somehow I "came to" again and now was on land, but in no better conditions. It was dark and stormy. Extremely windy and we were crossing some sort of beach or desert where wet sand and ran were blowing hard into our faces and bodies. Again, kept slogging. At a time where I was at my lowest I looked ahead and could make out a small figure in bright orange in front of me, going thru the same thing as me, as us, and they kept going, so so could I. Not far ahead I saw these two little gift bags wrapped like you would get as a party favor, with the gift part, about the size of a box for a ring, buried in the sand and a balloon wildly ripping in the violent wind. I pulled it from the sand and suddenly I had purpose. I HAD to get this to the end destination, wherever and whatever that was. Not too much longer ahead the sky's opened up and the wind and rain died down and soon it was beautiful out. Vision was cleared and I could now see that we were again going towards the shore of a beach. Soon I made it there and found many old HS classmates there. Soon after we were transported to a nice banquet hall overlooking the beach we were just standing on and we were all now freshly dressed and groomed. Someone made an announcement welcoming us to our HS class reunion and that breakfast was served. I started talking with the guys I was standing around and then Dan gross(from Pimco, not HS) walked by and we started chatting about the journey to get here. Then he left and I was at a table and the girl in orange came over and it was Alexis Curcio from HS. We started talking and I took out the uncovered gift bag with a tiny worn down balloon attached and told her it was this that kept me going and it was her bright orange dress that showed me the way. She said she planted that there in hopes it would help somebody. We smiled. Was my turn to go get food and she yelled back to me as I walked away to try to chicken. as I got on line I saw there was only chicken and eggs and people were doing many different things to eat these differently. I saw clay gates cracking raw eggs on top of chicken wings and calling them buffalo wings and then admitting that it looked absolutely disgusting. I agreed and just grabbed some friend eggs and chicken wings. Went back to the table to ask about what was in the gift bag but Alexis was gone so I started eating. Woke up.
