Drunken Tangents (night of 13/12/2023)

Night-time. I am walking with a work colleage away from work, down by the playground that leads to Tolladine Road. It is late at night. We have been to the work Christmas party and are heading home.
My friend gets into a taxi, and the taxi zooms off at an alarming speed; screeching wheels, roaring engine.
I feel glad I am not in the taxi, and am amused that my friend has to get the dangerous taxi home.
Then I am not pleased. I am way out in Warndon, and it is late at night, and I have many miles to get home.
I end up by the hospital. This is different to how it is in waking life. A vast road - a huge roundabout. It is now daylight. I am aware I am drunk, and if I were not drunk, then this would look completely different. There is the feeling that this is an hallucination. I go to cross the road, and am suddenlky concerned about being run over, and head back to the pavement. If this is not reality, how would I be able to see any approaching vehicles?
Now I am walking out of the hospital into some kind of countryside. memory loss - a side effect of being drunk. How did I get here? I do not want to walk out into the countryside. This may be a dangerous area, though there is not a great deal of concern within me.
I find myself in an area of the hospital where people are living. There are a lot of asian people here. What would it be like to live here, or to visit people here regularly.
I climb up a steep set of stairs. Someone is in front of me. A woman walks down the stairs, and briefly lays her han d on my leg.
