I had a dream I was watching a movie about cavemen. Not like Flintstones or Year One, but something realistic (or at least I thought it was realistic when I was dreaming). It took place in a barren rocky desert, but there were woolly mammoths as if it were the Ice Age.
The main character was a cavewoman. She badly needed to empty her bowels but couldn't let herself for some reason. There was a long and dramatic scene where she was part of a hunting party that killed a mammoth. They knew where to find it because one member of their tribe went into a weird fit and had a vision. There was a bone pointing a certain direction that was supposed to signal the tribespeople who were part of the hunt, but they also had to spread around decoy bones pointing other directions to prevent a rival tribe from getting a jump on their mammoth.
When the mammoth was in its death throes it unleashed a massive load of droppings. When the woman saw that, she had a pained expression and held her lower abdomen. She continued to hold her burden inside. I don't think I ever saw her relieve herself.
