I am on a business trip with some others, none of which I recognise . We check in at a hotel and while in reception the others vanish and I am on my own at the desk. I am given a room key and a strange pill shaped token which I am told I have to have or there will be a surcharge when I leave.
Without checking my room number I wonder towards a large open area and find myself surrounded by shops and hotel rooms mixed together in a large two storey open aired shopping centre. The room numbers are all over the place so I ask a porter for help. He looks at my key and says I am in room 530 which is just up the stair and points behind me. I go up the stairs and am in a similar open aired area among shops and rooms. I wonder around checking door numbers occasionally finding myself out in residential streets.
I finally wonder down a concrete, opened air corridor and turn right into a large gym. My colleagues are there working and give me grief about being lost. They join me as we walk through the gym and into a bar where we sit at a table and start talking about defensive fighting stances. We go back to the gym and start sparring to prove who has the best defence (at this point I swear I could feel some of the blows to my ribs).
We go back to the table and start talking about past "missions" (seems we are now some sort of special forces). I tell a story to the waitress about how the guy next to me it bullet proof because he once took a glancing round to the head and it bounced off.
I tried to order an IPA but for some reason I kept whispering my order and the waitress couldn't understand and kept thinking I was complimenting her.
This is when I woke up.
