I'm running the DW and noticed some suds coming out of it. And I came to realize that I'm a moron!!! I completely filled the rinse aid compartment with Dawn dishsoap. I thought it was the rinse aid! Crap! How am I gonna get all of it removed from that compartment, and how am I gonna get all those suds out of the DW? Have I ruined the DW?? (I've been secretly wanting a new one anyway...lol)! Thanks for your advise.

First take out the dishes. They will not get clean with that going on.
Only one dose of it went out of the dispenser. Pour lots of water into the rinse-aid opening and try to float the rest out of the rinse-aid reservoir. When a lot of water is in the dishwasher bottom run the drain cycle to pump it out. Keep doing that until the water looks clear and doesn't feel slippery meaning no liquid soap is in there.
Run an empty cycle and see what is going on with the foaming. If it still foams pour in some fabric softener to kill its bubbles and pump it out again.

Basically you just added soap. You didn't ruin your dishwasher... you just have to put water into the rinse aid compartment and let it run a few times.
Or heres an idea, add 1 part vinegar to 5 parts water and add that. It should get the soap out faster. (Soap has a basic pH, vinegar has an acidic... it will somewhat help neutral out)
