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

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

[–] SkunkWorkz@lemmy.world 3 points 22 hours ago

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.

[–] Venus_Ziegenfalle@feddit.org 7 points 1 day ago

That's my inception totem. If my legs start feeling warm I know it's not real.

[–] Pudutr0n@feddit.cl 67 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I use them in dreams all the time and they offer me no relief. Then I wake up and go to the "real" one... That's right. I know what's up, machine elves.

[–] sorrybookbroke@sh.itjust.works 17 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I just have an infinite pee stream but for some reason never recognize that it's a dream. I just get angry that I'm peeing so much

[–] Pudutr0n@feddit.cl 6 points 1 day ago

Evsn when I've recognized dreams for what they are, it hasn't given me much power over them. Just helped me face fears.

[–] Davel23@fedia.io 25 points 1 day ago (4 children)

Me too. I'll look all over for a bathroom (in my dreams) and they're all either unusably filthy or just don't work.

[–] myotheraccount@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I have that too, except not in my dreams, but in literally all public spaces

[–] Slovene@feddit.nl 10 points 1 day ago

You must live in a third world country like USA or something.

[–] AbnormalHumanBeing@lemmy.abnormalbeings.space 11 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I have the same phenomenon, and sometimes really weird intrusions, like - a few days ago I had a dream of working in an office building, and out of nowhere during work, there would be a drawer just filled with piss to pee into for the employees - but of course it never works.

[–] yermaw@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Just last night I had the pissdrawer dream. I was at a friend's house for a small, smart-casual suburban yuppie housewarming. Didn't know where the toilet was, immediately tried pissing in the sideboard drawer in front of everyone. Because thats how that worked. Got kicked out of the party quite quick but was pretty annoyed because everyone just uses the drawer sometimes right? Its no big deal.

I had no idea this was one of those dream events that others share. I hardly ever remember my dreams, but I remember those because even in the dream it feels weird to be doing it.

[–] Balaquina@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 day ago

Or the lid is nailed shut.

[–] Pudutr0n@feddit.cl 7 points 1 day ago

That sounds even more frustrating.

[–] sdcSpade@lemmy.zip 8 points 1 day ago

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...

[–] halvar@lemy.lol 18 points 1 day ago (3 children)

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.

[–] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 22 hours ago

i have this like every single week, best part is that at some point while waking up i realize "oh fuck i hope i'm not pissing the bed", then i wake up and go "oh thank christ, not even a drop"

[–] qarbone@lemmy.world 3 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

How'd you know it was a half-hour later?

[–] biggerbogboy@sh.itjust.works 1 points 20 hours ago* (last edited 20 hours ago)

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

[–] chuckleslord@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago

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.

[–] uawarebrah@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I always use them but it never makes the feeling of having to pee go away lol. Then I wake up and really have to go. Never gone in my sleep thankfully lol.

Don't tell me what to do

[–] BackgrndNoize@lemmy.world 19 points 1 day ago

When I was a kid, the only time I've wet the bed was because of dreams where I'm in a urinal or a toilet.

Made this mistake once. It was a urinal and things were getting warm

[–] iAmTheTot@sh.itjust.works 16 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Kinda requires you knowing you're in a dream.

[–] yermaw@sh.itjust.works 13 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Aedis@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago

Sleep apnea would like to say hi. Now you can't breath in dreams either.

[–] bobs_monkey@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 day ago

Yup. Had this dream about two months ago while in Vegas with a buddy for a concert, cept it was a urinal, and I was awoken to trying to piss in the corner of the hotel room.

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.

[–] 58008@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

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.

[–] kameecoding@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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

[–] four@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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.

[–] diemartin@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 day ago

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)

I use them in dreams often and I actually feel better. It's pretty weird. I don't piss myself at all, either.

So, it's not a trap for everyone.

[–] Landless2029@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

I wanted a gif but I could only find a damn Tiktok

[–] Hossenfeffer@feddit.uk 6 points 1 day ago

Often dream about hunting for a toilet… then I wake and need to go straight to the loo.

[–] ddplf@szmer.info 6 points 1 day ago

Same thing applies if you have some... erotically pleasing experience. But in that case - just go for it, consequences are always worth it.

[–] ohellidk@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 day ago

Or a urinal

[–] someguy3@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

Fool me, can't get fooled again!
