weird dream

I dreamed I was in some sort of treatment facility 
I guess you'd call it
something 
PSYCHOLOGICAL 
I think 

& I needed to pee

I was going to walk up the stairs 
to go to the bathroom 
& SUDDENLY 
there were
SO MANY 
people 
coming DOWN the stairs

& my therapist -- or whatever was going on 
SAID -- DON'T GO to the bathroom 
JUST PEE
into the
PILLOW 

now, that might strike you as a strange directive
it certainly seems STRANGE to me now
& I think it seemed strange to me in the dream 
BUT 
she was quite serious 
AS THOUGH 
it was an important exercise for my recovery 

SO
I DID it -- peed into the pillow -- 
SITTING on the FLOOR 

AND
the pee MOSTLY didn't seem to ABSORB 
it pooled out into the floor 
which ALSO 
was a non-absorptive surface 

AND
the beautiful GOLDEN liquid 
RAN EVERYWHERE 

I crawled around 
wiping it up
WITH the PILLOW 

which now seemed to absorb just fine

COLOR in DREAMS 
always SEEMS important to me 

I wasn't embarrassed 
I wasn't angry
I wasn't frustrated 
I was just
FOCUSED
on the task at hand 

AFTERWARDS 

I stood up 

I wasn't FAT anymore 

I have no idea what that means
