Dream this morning

I dreamt I was showering somewhere ... it wasn't a gym, but it was somewhere with several showers in the same place, like a gym or a barracks or so ... and I noticed that a couple of the people walking in to shower (naked, of course) were women. And what was interesting about the dream was how unremarkable it was. Nobody especially commented — I think in the dream I knew one of them and said "Hi" — and there was no sense either of embarrassment or of sexualization. That is, it did not signal to me inside the dream as particularly arousing, nor did anyone (men or women) make a point of turning away or hiding. It was just an unremarkable part of a larger story, and I was thinking about whatever it was in the story I was going to do next after washing ... only it so happened that that was when I woke up, so that's the bit I remembered. (And of course when I woke up I realized how unlikely an event it was and therefore remembered it longer.) But it was nice in a way not having the scene freighted with all the weight it would have in real life. Interesting.
