The dreaded toilet dream

Hands up, who’s had it, how much damage occurred? and do you find it happens when you feel particularly anxious or is it strictly random?

Not me but ex dp did . Dreamt he was going for a wee in the en-suite. We didn't have an en-suite, just a wardrobe !

Two pairs of my shoes were trashed.

JudasPrudy · 24/11/2018 22:27

I did the other night but thankfully managed not to piss the bed! Just woke up busting to pee.

BedraggledBlitz · 24/11/2018 22:28

I have a lot of toilet dreams. But the loos are always dirty, which I read is your brain trying to prevent you from weeing the bed.

WeirdHandDryers · 24/11/2018 22:29

My brain isn’t that kind unfortunately. I dream I’m sat in my lovely en suite, nice and relaxed ... then I start to feel rather warm and wet between the legs. Mortified.

I had the toilet dream for years. I was in a room full of toilets but they were all dirty or broken. I stopped having them for years after I left my ex but am currently not happy in my latest relationship and have started having them again periodically. I think therefore for me the dreams are linked to not being happy in my relationship s

When I was a teenager. Even dreamt how cold the toilet seat was.
Except it wasn't. Blush
Not stressed or anxious just very deeply asleep.

Really @BedraggledBlitz? I often have manky toilet dreams but I thought they were anxiety driven.

Namechanger55555 · 24/11/2018 22:31

I did once Blush

Heavily pregnant had a dream about going for a wee. Woke up to a short gush, before I realised what I was doing! Jumped up and ran to the loo.

Luckily it online required a change of pjs! I did worry for a while it was my waters that had broken! (...Definitely wee Blush)

But the loos are always dirty, which I read is your brain trying to prevent you from weeing the bed.

I have those too. Also, as well as being filthy the cubicles are only waist height so when I sit down everyone else can see.

Other reoccurring dreams I have are trying to dial a number on the phone and constantly hitting the wrong numbers, and one where I have a fishtank and the fish keep jumping out. Confused

WitsEnding · 24/11/2018 22:36

I had the dream when I was 8 and wet the bed. Got smacked very hard and never had it again, but still remember it well. I've had the 'getting up and going to work' dream too (and was late in).

dingit · 24/11/2018 22:38

I have one where the cubicles are shared, two or three loos each. Or I'm following signs around the shopping centre and can't find one. I end up squatting on grass Shock

DontCallMeBaby · 24/11/2018 22:38

I have the manky toilet dreams. Finally get to go in the dream and wake up thinking oh no ... but I never have. Never wake up needing to go either, so what my brain is up to I don’t know.

Grimbles I have the phone one. Usually trying to call 999 in an emergency, only I can’t hit the right keys, or I get a message saying I need to precede it with 173529 or something ... not had fish though.

treaclesoda · 24/11/2018 22:39

I have recurring dreams where I need the toilet but I am in a huge block of public toilets and they are all blocked and/or filled to the brim with...matter.

It's horrific. I have the same dream regularly.

MsAdorabelleDearheartVonLipwig · 24/11/2018 22:40

I’ve done this a couple of times. The second time I did it I made sure I was definitely awake and was definitely sitting on a toilet and could feel the cold hard porcelain and definitely wasn’t in bed. Then I woke up. Blush

I also have the reoccurring dream about desperately trying to use the phone and not being able to dial the right number. In my dream I’m usually really late for something because I’ve spent so long trying to phone someone. Weird.

cardibach · 24/11/2018 22:41

I have the dirty and public loo dreams too! I always wake up desperate so I think it’s my subconscious saving me from myself!

rosy71 · 24/11/2018 22:42

I have this dream and the toilets are always horrible so I can't use them. They are also often not in cubicles, or the cubicles have no doors or the walls are too low too.

Elphie54 · 24/11/2018 22:42

I always have the dream that I have to pee, but no matter how much I try, I can’t. Or that I have gone, but have to go again a few second later. That’s usually when I wake up, actually having to pee.

hiddeneverythin · 24/11/2018 22:43

Oh yes - I used to have that dream a lot as a child.

I've had the "my boss sent me home from work early" dream when snoozing on a nightshift. Oops.

WeirdHandDryers · 24/11/2018 22:45

Anyone else actually pit’s the bed?! I tried being nice but I need reassurance here that it isn’t just me 😁

WonderTweek · 24/11/2018 22:45

I have the opposite. When I’m awake and about to have a wee I have to double check I’m awake because I’m paranoid that I might be asleep and dreaming about going to the toilet and weeing the bed. Very strange. Hmm

WeirdHandDryers · 24/11/2018 22:45

*piss

WeirdHandDryers · 24/11/2018 22:46

Wondertweek, I do that for weeks after a toilet dream. Just today I was sat on toilet thinking “I’m awake, I’m definitely awake, DH has the radio on downstairs, I’m awake ... “

HashTagLil · 24/11/2018 22:48

I also get the manky/broken toilet dreams as well as the trying to dial a phone number in an emergency and keep getting the numbers wrong.

If I'm stress I dream about stairs. Lots and lots of stairs but none take me to where I need to be.

GrandTheftWalrus · 24/11/2018 22:49

Glad I'm not alone with the dirty toilet dreams. Genuinely thought it was only me.

Also had the phone dreams and when I'm due I'm early for work I keep dreaming I've slept in or I'm taking ages to get ready for a day/night out and I miss the train/bus.

Sickenedbyguilt · 24/11/2018 22:49

@wondertweek I do the same thing haha
