Thank you everyone.
It took a while for me to reply because the replies did not show in my email box.
Anyway, I think I have an answer, at least in the short-term.
I like to go out on the bay on commericial cruises and somtimes when we are waiting to board the boat, we are corralled on a dock that moves up and down in the water. I feel claustrophobic crowded up with lots of ppl and it was hot out there; no breeze and the sun beat down on me.
I felt so nauseous from the up and down motion (dock was on a pontoon) and the heat and the crowd that I had to go back up the ramp and wait outside before we boarded.
Still don't know why it was a baloon, or why it was red and yellow striped, except many times I walk past a house being fumigated and often the tent is red-and-yellow.
