Dreaming of a Toilet

United States

Have you ever dreamed that you had to go to the bathroom really bad and think you are on a toilet? Then you wake up and find that you really thought you were on a toilet and barely make it to the bathroom or worse?

YEP! LOL I don't know if you have that commercial where you live about Good Nites pants for kids? Where the girl says, "....I start dreaming of lakes and rivers and ponds..." LOL - that's me. I dream about water in all forms and then get up running! I have to tell a slightly off-color but funny memory... when I was still living at home, there was one night that I was awakened by a big ruckus in the house. My mom was stomping and running around and so was Dad... although, admittedly, he seemed to be laughing a lot more than Mom was. She seemed REALLY mad. At one point, I heard her in the basement, starting up the washer! I was afraid to leave my bedroom LOL Anyway, as it turns out, Dad had been having a dream about "relieving himself" against a fence (as men have been known to do in the great outdoors, right?)... but... ummmmmm... he wasn't against a FENCE -- and Mom never forgave him for such a rude awakening ;)

I have dreamed of needing to go to the bathroom and then woke needing to go badly. I have walked in my sleep however not since I was a teen. Fortunately it does not happen very often and I am glad since you had to go you were in the right place for it.

I don't know how my partner and I got on this topic the other day...but we were just talking about this yesterday! LOL And I had to tell him to stop telling me about his dream because I feared that if he told me about his dream, I would dream it, and it would happen to me. So, thanks...not only is he putting that thought into my head...now you. ha ha

Oh yes, I sure have. I am 36 yrs old and I did this just about 8 months ago! LOL (Can't believe I just admitted that!). But, I guarantee I am not the only adult who has dreamed of being on the toilet and actually peed the bed. LOL

When I was younger I had a narrow euretha which meant my bladder could not hold much(basically).There were a few times when "worse" happened but it did not affect my growing up in any (^^*(_)*^%* way that I am $*%(_*&^$( aware of.

Oh Elusive that has happened to me many times..lol I usually finish my business before I go to bed so I don't need to wake up at night, but sometimes its during those wee hours in the morning, where I'm urging to go and I'm dreaming I'm in a toilet..hehe! But I've never had bad experiences of not making it to the toilet..hehe...I wake up and then go...

Luckily, my bathroom adjoins my bedroom but sometimes it is still a race to see if I can make it in time when I wake up and the need to go is that strong.

I think this might be that you have drunk too much water before sleeping. Maybe it would be good practise to empty your bladder before sleeping. This might help you get an uninterrupted sleep. ;-)

I could stop drinking fluids hours before I go to bed and still need to get up in the middle of the night. It is called menopause. Gotta love Mother Nature!

Yes, it has happened to me before.. Maybe once or twice.. There was even one time that I dreamt I was brushing my teeth, and I spat out the toothpaste bubbles to rinse my mouth.. I suddenly woke up, and I realized I spat on my pillow.. It was pretty funny.. Hehehehe.. (n_n)

I had a couple accidents when I was younger when having that dream. It mostly happened on nights before a big event when I was nervous. As an adult I have had the dreams for no reason and wake up with JUST enough time to race down the hall (in the dark...bumping something on something HARD along the way) and make it to the toilet. I wonder if you had to go really bad and didn't have the dream if you would just wet the bed?

Yes, it´s happened to me more than once, even though I avoid drinking a lot of water before going to bed. Until now I´ve always made to the toilet. (Barely), lol.

You know...I don't remember why my dad started this same topic with my mom and I in the car. We did not want to have a dream about it...because it has never happened to us...so we both plugged our ears and hummed. And, how you are talking about it!! LOL How did this discussion come up?? Uhhh...I hope that you do not make me have this dream!! :)

LOL And I thought I was the only one that plugged my ears and hummed! I do not need to hear of someone's detailed dream that would make it my dream!ha ha And plugging one's ears is just not enough when they refuse to stop telling you about the dream. That humming must be accompanied with the plugging of the ears because it drowns out the person talking. LOL

I would imagine that everyone has had this happen to them at some point or another in their life. As said before, if not then they are lying! I have dreamed that I was on the toilet and actually started going. I woke up a little wet. That only happened once. I have had dreams but have woken up in time. Now I don't think I have those dreams anymore. I am always up a couple of times a night. 'Til the nature of my illness. At least I can get back to sleep again.
