Can you sue in a situation like this?

Had a bizarre dream last night and it’s making me think questions (can’t help it, I’m sorry) about legal action, court cases and the law.

I dreamt that I was in some kind of resort where I’m supposed to stay for three months. A young girl also staying there accused me of attacking her, making a mass group of women who are overprotective of the girl extremely angry and wanting to take action against me by making me the scapegoat of the resort. Because of a contract I supposedly signed, I’ve given owners of the resort permission to  allow other visitors to use physical force against me if they felt it necessary based on the nature of these accusations, specifically for the girl and her family. Like if they walked in on me striking her and wanted to fight me off her for instance. Instead this family terrorizes me and physically jumps me every chance they get all night, hacks my hair off, destroys my belongings (also somehow allowed), and almost lands me in the hospital. At some point, one of the nastiest, lowlife people bites my fingers hard enough to where they’re nearly cut to the bone and may have to be amputated if infected.

The policemen present see the violence but think, because they’re being manipulated, that I’m the one provoking the “fights” (more vicious attacks then anything by a mob of people) and don’t do anything to penalize the abusers.

I’m just thinking...could I’ve sued the resort and the police station if the contract was broken for using excessive force?

    Illegal contracts are unenforceable. What you describe in a dream does not happen in the real world.

    One of my friend's wife had a dream she cheated with me, got a restraining order which I didn't care since we don't hang out, but a week later her husband found out about her dream and left her.

    He's now sleeping on my couch

    The contract is void.  You cannot make a contract to do what is illegal under the law.   And using force on you is against the law.   So, you could sue the owners and visitors for what damages they caused you, if you could prove damages. You can't sue the police.  And the owners and visitors will use the police report to show there was no civil liability or damages caused by them.   So, when it is over, you are out of luck.
