I am in a hotel for business and I go out for a morning walk. At some point I realize it is getting late and I have to be back for an event. I think I am headed in the right direction but am not even really sure of the name of my hotel, I am afraid I am pronouncing it wrong. I am asking several people on the street and they have no clue. It dawn on me they all know where they're going but nothing about what surrounds them. At one point an old man gets out a city map. We open it but no one can identify where we are. I keep looking at my watch and realize at some point I have literally missed a bus leaving right then for an event.
I walk into a restaurant to ask the owners but they are involved in an elaborate cooking/serving display that I can't interrupt. I ask two men in the alley beside the restaurant and they take me to a wall when we mount the map with the help of push pins still in the wall used for multiple other things in the past. One of the men dramatically takes a finger and pushes it against the map declaring, we are here!
I wake still feeling lost and a bit panicked.
