Return to the feelings

Our emotions in dreams can help us understand its meaning. Pay attention to how you felt in the dream. Pay attention to how you feel about toilets in dreams. See how you feel about toilets now, in your waking life.

What are possible meanings for dreams of toilets?

Using a toilet in a dream can connect with the need to eliminate something from yourself or your life, especially if you vomit, defecate, or urinate into the toilet.

For example, you relieve yourself of pressure, burdens, guilt, negativity, high expectations, tension, or stress. Your dreams go through a nightly process of washing that stuff away, at least enough to reset and get you through another day. It’s a physical representation of a personal situation.

Toilets are associated with privacy. Using the toilet is supposed to be a private moment. Along that line, being intruded upon while on the toilet can symbolize embarrassment, or feeling vulnerable or exposed. See: Bathrooms, Intruders

Dreaming about a toilet can symbolize feeling that something has been dumped on you, such as when a friend dumps all his troubles on you, or a supervisor dumps a load of work on you.

A dirty toilet can symbolize a messy situation or dirty feelings. It can symbolize dirty emotions, especially when the water is dirty.

A toilet dream can be a way of saying that your mind is in the toilet.

Flushing a toilet can be associated with letting go of something, especially pressure or negativity.

Toilet symbolism can be created by side associations, such as when a toilet is needed and can’t be found, creating anxiety. Dreams make comparisons that trigger related feelings and emotions, so a dream about being unable to find toilet can connect with a situation in your life making you worried or nervous. Dreaming about a disgusting toilet can connect with your disgust about something. See: Anxiety

Toilets are associated with the one place where you can find peace and privacy. It brings to mind the image of the father in a house full of kids who reads a magazine while sitting on the toilet. It might be the only moments of peace and privacy he gets.

If you pee or defecate in a dream, first consider the obvious. The dream might reflect the fact that you feel as if you need to use the toilet.

Peeing or defecating in public can symbolize vulnerability, embarrassment, or exposure. You did something or showed something about yourself in public that you’d rather not have. See: Being naked

Peeing in a way that disrespects a place or person can be an expression of hard feelings. For example, you dream about peeing on someone who insulted you, as a way of expressing your feelings about wanting to return the insult. You pee on a church as a way of saying you don’t respect its teachings. Someone pees on your bed, symbolizing a disrespect or insult that’s personal.

A bowel movement can symbolize a period of introspection after breaking off a relationship. You work it out of your system like a bowel movement.

Constipation can symbolize holding onto something you should let go.

Along this line, a bowel movement is related to digestion, and digestion is used as an analogy for processing experiences, memories, feelings, and emotions. The bowel movement is the tail end of the process, a perfect analogy for the nightly process of discarding unneeded memories.

A bowel movement can be a graphic commentary about how you feel about something. To be “shit on” means that someone dumped his problems on you, or treated you disrespectfully. It can be a raw and honest expression of your feelings about yourself, your life, or someone in it as “shit.” See: Excrement

A bowel movement in public suggests regret over something said or done that’s publicly known. You showed a shitty side of yourself.

A rushing river of brown water or similar imagery can symbolize diarrhea.

Exaggerated bowel movements can symbolize moral depravity or extremely dirty thoughts. Shit all over the walls. Piles of it everywhere. These dreams are extremely graphic and reflect the condition of the dreamer’s mind or life. It’s not to say that the imagery automatically has this meaning, but it’s common.

A dream about a toilet can come in response to the feeling of needing to urinate or have a bowel movement while asleep. Dreams can create imagery and scenarios based on physical stimuli. Along this line, bowel problems can trigger dreams about toilets. They’re sending strong signals as you sleep and these are translated into your dreams as imagery.

Dreaming of overflow of water in toilet

Last night I dreamed of flushing the toilet and when I did clean water was overflowing and I couldn’t stop it. The water filled the whole bathroom. I tried to put towels on the floor but it didn’t work.

Can anyone interpret this? I’ve been thinking about it non stop.

Sex dream and then dream guy pees on me???

So. Last night I had a dream that I was in a dimly lit room by myself fully naked preoccupied with something (painting my toes? Reading a book? I don’t know) while laying down on a bed I don’t recognize but feels like mine. It feels like it’s a little before midnight. Door of the room opens and my head registers it as a musician I adore in my waking life. In the dream we seemed to already know each other and are probably in a FWB situation. He sees me and pretty much moves immediately to missionary (I’m so sorry if this is tmi I just want to put the whole picture out there) and it felt like it didn’t last long but it was sensual and sexy and everything. I remember feeling weird about the sounds and possible faces I was making but I still enjoyed being with him. He finishes and I’m just laying there recouping when he puts down some toilet paper next to my head and literally starts peeing on me. I freeze up in a what the fuck fashion and he continues until I slowly sit up and walk to the bathroom wiping my mouth and eyes. I am stunned but am trying to remain even keeled and still attractive and I tell him he has to warn me when he wants to do that and he is surprised that I was not into it and tells me he’ll work me into being more kinky... in my waking life I broke up with my boyfriend 2 days ago and today my car broke down on the high way abruptly in a VERY dangerous spot and it had to get towed... What stands out to you guys? What do you think?

I raped a woman in my dream

I met a beautiful girl and she said i'm ugly, at this point I followed her to the toilet and I put a gun on her head and forced her to suck me and then to have sex with me.

Honestly this dream was nasty and I'm shocked. What does it mean?

In my opinion it means that I have some anger and frustation in my self and i should get ride of it, because I didnt want to rape her basically but when she said I'm ugly I had some anger and frustation feeling that made me want to rape her or something. I don't think I have sexual frustation (maybe a bit) but not that much, I don't care if I dont have sex with a woman over a long time, but In real life I'm not that confident (I'm 25) and I know that I'm somehow frustated when a woman doesn't tell me I'm looking good or something. That's a real problem I have to work on it. Honestly it scared me because I feel like, if I did it in my dream why would I not do it in real life? I don't want to but who knows, maybe this is my subconscious desire?

What do you think?

Toilet dream - asking for interpretation help after searching a lot

This is my first post on the sub. Hope I am adhering to all the community guidelines :)

The Dream:
I dream of searching a toilet. Every time I find one, I see that people can see me while I sit on the seat. Sometimes the door isn't there. Sometimes the latch doesn't work. Sometimes the walls of the toilet are so low that people walking by can see me.
When someone is about the turn and see me, I usually get up, pull my trousers up and get out, and start finding another toilet.
Sometimes I am searching and sitting and getting up in the entire dream. On occasions when people do see me taking a dump, they do not react. They just pass by or converse normally. I feel embarrassed after being seen in that position though.

About me:
I am a very private person. I don't like sharing about my personal life with people in general.
Also I am quite introverted, but still very social.
I have been working on self improvement for quite some time now, and like keeping those efforts just to myself.

Is it that I am trying to be too secretive about common things in life, when I shouldn't be ?

I know this might sound like a very common dream, and just a simple Google search will open multiple links pointing to various interpretations. But somehow, those seem to be generalized. So posting this here in belief that I might find a more meaningful interpretation here.

If this post is by any means offensive or something that has been asked quite a few times, please let me know. I'll remove the post.

Looking forward to your help in understanding and interpreting the dream.

Thanks for reading.

Created a Reddit account just to get some help interpreting my dream

So long story short my dream featured me (26 F) and my bf staying at a hotel. The first hotel was really dirty and i started cleaning the toilet because it was all stained and nasty but then my bf came in and said he got us another hotel. I remember thinking “the toilet looks so much better though” before we left, but the hotel was trashy. So dream-transport we are at a new hotel and a famous person I’m a fan of was there giving like a seminar? But this famous person in my dream was short and rude to me which was upsetting. HOWEVER i am only including these details in case it helps set the scene for the real part of my dream that i need interpreted…

So next scene in my dream i am with my boyfriend and he poops out a pineapple. It’s so weird and random but he was like “babe i just pooped out a whole pineapple.” So then i dream transport to us realizing there’s this whole conspiracy (for lack of a better word) alleging that pineapples come from a plant when in reality men- SPECIFICALLY MEN not women- poop out pineapples and that’s where they come from.

I have no idea what this could mean but it was so vivid i can’t stop thinking about it!!! Help haha
