Dream: I'm sitting on the floor and my dog is just watching me

I'm sitting on a motel room floor, still in last night's set clothes, and the dog — I don't own a dog — is sitting across from me. He's not waiting for anything. No treat, no walk, no judgement about the bombed set. He's just watching me the way you'd watch rain from a window. I woke up and the silence didn't feel like a verdict anymore. It felt like a room I was allowed to sit in.
