An interpretation of bathroom dreams
This interpretation is from ""The Dream Interpretation Dictionary: Symbols, Signs, and Meanings" and is provided by J.M. DeBord aka "RadOwl". He is the author of several acclaimed books about dreaming, the host of The Dreams That Shape Us podcast, and is a moderator of r/Dreams, one of the largest dream sharing communities on the internet. A bathroom is a place where you clean up, get ready to go out, take a look at yourself, and expel waste. These uses and functions are used in a dream to create symbolism, such as when cleaning up symbolizes cleaning up your image or behavior. It can mean you’re thinking about the image you project and how you present yourself, and you want to make a good impression. See: Clean The symbolism is often found in what you do in a bathroom, such as bathe or shower. See: Showers Or use a toilet. See: Toilets Or look in a mirror. See: Mirrors Or brush your teeth. See: Teeth A bathroom is where privacy is usually expected, where you have a “private moment,” so being interrupted in a bathroom can symbolize issues related to privacy. See: Being naked This idea extends to include things you want to hide or keep away from public knowledge, including anything shameful or highly personal. For example, the shameful feelings after being sexually assaulted, or suicidal thoughts. A bathroom setting in a dream is often connected with the idea of being rid of something unwanted. For example, a young man at a small college dreams about washing his hands in a restroom after a group of girls barges in. It symbolizes that he’s sick of the dating scene at his school and all the gossip and rumors and wants to “wash his hands” of it all. For more detail about this dream, see: Library. A bathroom is where we assess our appearance and groom, and that use can tie in with self-perceptions and ideas about attractiveness. A bath can symbolize aspects of physical health. The body is made up mostly of water, so water is a sort of barometer for health and a versatile symbol. For example, very hot water can symbolize fever. Cold water can symbolize chills. See: Water A bath in a dream can enact the idiom “take a bath,” meaning a financial loss or something related. “Cleaned out” has similar meaning, and “clean up” can mean a financial windfall.
