Getting ketamine treatment from psychiatrist with group

I have been waiting in real life to start Ketamine psychedelic therapy for my depression. I am very anxious to get started and hoping it will let me feel a little bit more normal and enjoy life some. So in the dream I had to go to this big facility to do the treatment with a group. We all sat in a room in chairs and the doctor came around and injected us all with a needle that had to stay in our arm like an IV drip. I had my nine month old son with me in his stroller for some reason. I got up for some reason to get something off of the table and the IV came out. I decided I needed to go to the bathroom before sitting there for two hours so I left the room with my son and began looking for a bathroom. The whole place was so big with so many floors it was like a labyrinth. I thought I found one but the line was too long and then another was too disgusting and even flooding a little bit. I found another in this dark jagged narrow staircase but got scared so came back out without finding the bathroom. Then I went to another floor and tried to use a shopkeepers bathroom but the owner came in and said I could no longer use it. I gave up on the bathroom and went back to do the therapy. Too much time had passed and the doctor said I could have the rest of the time but it wasn’t enough time for the K to take full effect. I was so disappointed yet hoping for something still to let me know it was doing something. The rest of the dream it was like my brain knew what I was trying to do and showed me all these images of perspective, situations in which I have been in or might be in and then how small they are compared to a bigger perspective pulled farther out.
