A picture of a bathroom with the words, “If you see a toilet in your dream, don’t use it! It’s a trick!”

    Last time I really needed to go and indeed there appeared a toilet and indeed I used it. I woke up half an hour later to find myself compeletly dry in my bed and still needing to go to the toilet. I couldn’t believe it either, but I swear I’m not making this up.

      This is how it should work unless you have some sort of sleep condition or aren’t in deep sleep (which shouldn’t be the case if you’re dreaming). You’re paralyzed in your sleep, that includes the ability to urinate. The only time you should be concerned about urinating in your dreams is if you have a history of bed-wetting.

        Bro has dream clock continuity with the real world, isn’t it a paid feature? $10 per month is a big ask for such a minimal DLC imo

      If anything at all even looks remotely suspicious, pinch your nose so you can’t breathe through it. If you can still breathe through it youre dreaming baby, and thats real air passing through your real nose you can feel back in reality!

      The trick is to get into the habit of doing it for anything. Strange car you’ve never seen before? Pinch. You’ve been gaming for 3 hours when it felt like 15 minutes? Pinch. You see the same girl 3 times in one day? Thats a pinching.

    I was about to a couple of years ago, jolted awake and went straight to the real bathroom. I’ve never gone from deep sleep to 100% clarity that quickly. If only we could harness that power…

    When I was a kid I did the opposite. I would be using the bathroom in real life and would fear that it’s a dream/hallucination and I’m actually pissing in the classroom.

    I’m in my 40s and I still occasionally get a dream where I’m using the toilet, and that in the dream I’m making sure I’m really awake by looking around the room reading labels on things etc. People say you can’t read text in dreams, because it looks mangled and makes no sense. Well, if you believe it makes sense within the logic of the dream - that is, whatever switch in your brain that makes you go from “not sure” to “100% confident” gets flipped - then it matters not what lorem ipsum horseshit is printed in melting calligraphy on the shampoo bottle. My brain yearns for a piss-filled mattress and it will not be dissuaded by my feeble attempts at some sort of dreamworld scientific method.

    Recently I got trashed camping and dreamt of pissing in a toilet then awoke trying to piss out of my hammock but the stream was sadly, and quite shockingly not

    Only happened to me once and woke up before emptying my entire bladder. Nowadays I can piss all I want in my dreams and not wet the bed.

    I very often have some convoluted dream, where I end up taking a piss, except it just doesn’t stop, then after a while I wake up having to pee really badly

      Saaameee!!
      Also sometimes in the dream I pee in a weird place. Like, someone tells me where the bathroom is and it’s just some room without toilets or anything so I just pee in the corner of that room.

        For me it’s a toilet in the middle of an otherwise empty bathroom (i.e. not even a sink to wash my hands)

        I usually start peeing a neverending stream until I wake up (I don’t pee myself tho, just wake up with an urgent need to pee)
