Tropical Paradise

Date: 8/28/2021

I dreamt I was in an insanely nice apartment that my dad owned; easily the nicest I had ever seen. It had a gigantic room for every feature. The Men’s bathroom had this long slanted stone floor as the urinal. There was a long, trapezoidal pool in another room, with an all glass wall on one side. There was a gigantic kitchen, and several rooms with varieties of chairs just for lounging. There were long sweeping hallways, and several huge closets that were attached to the bedrooms. Kim Jong Un even came to visit and see it. I befriended his translator after his tour; she was a cool middle-aged North Korean lady. It turned out the apartment was on board this massive yacht/ship thing. It was headed towards shore, and on shore was this massive shopping mall called Coney Island, and I wanted to check out the shops there. I got on a smaller boat to take me ashore. Other people were on it also. As we headed ashore, I discovered that it had been the wrong stop; the huge, India-inspired buildings were ≈3 miles away, down the sandy peninsula. Where we were landing was this little tourist area on the sandy beach. The off-boarding boat drove past hundreds of other smaller boats, some yachts, some local fishing boats as well as jetskiis, etc. We beached and a group of us got off. We were standing in a shelter wondering if it was worth it to walk the 3 miles down the peninsula to the mall or take the wooden canoe that we had back to the ship, when two of the group left to go to a nearby concession stand. They were selling this powdery, sweet ice-cream like treat, called Netti-Shake or something. They had a strange deal where you could trade one of their signature coconut-textured cups for a free one, so everyone on the beach was asking for people’s empty cups and using them to get free full ones. One of the group was standing away, because he was lactose intolerant. It was my buddy Jay! I got a Netti-Shake by exploiting the deal, but then my spoon fell in the sand. We decided that since Jay was the only one without a treat, he would carry the canoe for the first little bit of our walk to the mall. I walked a few steps over to the ocean and washed off the sand from my spoon in the crystal blue water. Then I saw on a screen that showing the end of a Winnie-the-Pooh episode. In it, Piglet was wearing a shirt that said “Fish Beans”, so I went and told Jay, which he though was hilarious. Then we, and the other few members of our impromptu group started walking.
