I went to an all-inclusive resort with good friends from high school. We had some fishing canes with us, and I captured a small tropical fish, but on my second attempt the hook came back flying towards me and it embedded on my chest, near the heart.

We went out the hotel room and into a party with a lot of people. I was protecting myself from people bumping against me, as they would rip off the hook with all the skill. I didn’t want to take it out because I would lose the hook, but finally it came loose on its own. I encountered a tall classmate from high school, and asked him to place it on a shelf high up, where nobody would be able to get ahold of it.

I made my round and saw it was an old hotel. When I came back I couldn’t find my friends, so I kept on walking around looking for them. I entered various rooms where there were different kinds of people, one, for example, was composed exclusively of students, and the food was chilaquiles and chalupas. I was hungry, but I didn’t dare to eat, because none of the people seemed to be like me, so I thought I wasn’t allowed to eat their food.

Finally, tired of looking for my friends, I sat next to a large crowded table headed by someone who seemed to be very important. He told everyone one the table that he wanted to get everyone tested for COVID. A nurse came in drew a small amount of blood of each of the guests fingers. The man had said that the test would be free, but one of the guests drew out a large amount of cash, which the nurse accepted with gratitude.

The nurse turned towards me and said hello effusively, I knew her from a previous dream in which we were in another hotel and she got drunk and was crying a lot. I consoled her at the time [it is unclear to me if this is something I had dreamed a bit earlier, or if this memory was made on the fly, but I have visual memories of this dream alternate dream].

She wanted to go with me outside the hotel. We went outside to be greeted by a spectacular scene: naked snow-capped fractal mountains made a very stimulating scenery which I immediately wanted to explore, but she directed me towards the sidewalk to the side of the hotel. A beaten off dirt road went up a hill in what appeared to be a mining operation. She took me to a small rock shelter on the side of this road and sat me down. She wanted to make out with me, but I reasoned that if her aesthetic sensibilities were so off-target as to bring me to this ugly place, then she must not be a follower of virtue, and so I refused to kiss her and went back into the hotel.

I went back looking for my friends, this time to the terrace which was very different than the floor I had explored at first: this was a posh rooftop terrace with a pool in the middle surrounded by exotic vegetation. Beautiful women in tiny bikinis and muscular men were everywhere. Even though they were my age I felt out of place here too, and went searching for my friends in the bars and posh restaurants around the pool. I was hungry and wanted to eat, but I was too ashamed to ask if I was allowed to eat because they would think I was a bum.

Someone recognized me and said hello, I didn’t recognize her, but she said that she knew where my friends were and she would lead me there. I followed her, only to be lead to a table with numerous people, the nurse among them.

I stormed away, this time trying to find a concierge who would call my room to find my friends, and I was about to reach it when something vibrated in my pocket: it was the key to my room. I looked closely and there was a button to answer. I pressed it.

On the other side, the nurse told me she was in my suite with my friends. I was angry at her, her antics were getting creepy. Even though there was a part of me that wanted to fuck her, I knew I shouldn’t stick my dick in crazy.
