There's actually a distinction between waking up because one has to urinate and dreaming about having to urinate. While the latter can lead to the former, there's a reason why you don't wake up in order to pee and instead remain asleep and dream about urination...

While the meaning of any particular dream is far too important to take anyone else's word for, it's been my experience that such dreams about urination often have something to do with the feeling/desire to express oneself more freely, and/or to "speak one's truth," as it were, in a free and unobstructed way.

While your mileage may vary, there are frequently multiple layers of meaning to any particular dream (dream image, or dream fragment), but there are also universal themes that tend to come up (which makes sense to me, given that we're all humans in human form experiencing much of the same things, especially -- or perhaps exclusively -- when it comes to the human body).

(P.S. I've take several classes on the topic of 'dream interpretation' and some of the meaningful work has been the result of studying with this man.)

I only remember dreams of needing to pee... and we all know what that means.

When I was a teenager I had lucid dreams nearly every time I slept. They were incredibly unrestful. I never felt like I'd really slept, afterward.

Haven't had one in a long time.

A girl I knew lucid dreamed her whole life, and was unaware that other people didnt dream that way. btw, if you have sleep paralysis and you see a demon, call upon the name of Jesus and it will flee. This isn't just innocent activity. This kind of activity is also linked to alien abduction experiences:

HAHAHAHAHAAAAAAA!!! Best laugh of my day =oD

I bought a journal to write my dreams a while ago just to start Lucid Dreaming. I have yet to remember any of them..


I have many I'd just as soon forget. When I was a kid I had a recurring dream of being flushed down the toilet. As I was going down the tubes, images of my life were appearing in front of me. I think it was triggered by two hand painted wooden plaques my parents had hung up. When you walked in to the bathroom there was a cartoon of a man stepping in to the john with the quote "Goodbye cruel world". The one hanging over the door on your way out was the same man [dripping wet] stepping out captioned "I changed my mind."

Thanks Mom and Dad =oD

Fascinating! I'd like to try lucid dreaming, seems it's become easier!

I've never been able to lucid dream but what I have finally mastered is being able to re-enter a dream after I've woken up briefly (to hit the bathroom, for instance). Comes in very handy when I'm in the middle of snogging Michelle Pfeiffer.

I love dreaming, especially lucid dreaming (something I have done quite often). The only thing I still find really freaky is the "falling" phenomenon you experience when your body falls into rem atonia while you are still conscious. That and having "wake up" dreams (you know, the ones in which you enact waking up, only to find something freakishly unreal about your surroundings).

Dreaming's awesome.

I kept a dream log for about three months. So, every time you wake up you don't move for five or ten minutes and recall you're dreams. Then rapidly wright down everything. If you do this day after day you remember more and more of your dreams. Then lucid dreaming becomes inevitable for you. But you can't have an alarm clock, you have to throw that shit away.

My doubt is definitely 'in dream'. It's pretty rare that I become conscious of my dream in my dreams. I actually dig when that happens, because I feel like that is the first step in being able to lucid dream, which I've never done.

I do have some weird sleep issues where reality and dream bleed into one another. I've got night terrors where I act out my fears in reality while dreaming (but usually can't remember). Usually I'm concerned for the safety of my family. Once I tried to carry Issy out of the room to escape some danger that existed only in my head.

I also occasionally get the opposite, sleep paralysis, where my mind wakes up but my body is still in sleep mode, which means I can only move my eyes. It's a very creepy and fascinating state to be in. To get out of it I have to muster this kind of unexplainable inner power. I've gotten to the point where I try to stay in it a while, because it is such trippy state of being. Still though, no matter how rational I think myself to be in full consciousness, that state is always frightening - because I am not in control.

1. One of my earliest memories is being on a boat between Japan and Korea during a sea storm. Rolling around in the room as the boat was rocked was terrible fun to the 3-year-old I was.

2. I been to more countries then I care to mention. People are really all the same all over. I hate big cities.

3. Played in a mine field for a whole afternoon. The next day a farmer died there. For the year we lived on Croatia's border we could hear/feel the bombs shake the house.

4. Am often told I do not act my gender. Sometimes I play it up on purpose.

5. Am not afraid of nor particularly moved by death. This causes me problems with my family when relatives/siblings die.

6. Am a pretty good shot with both ARs and handguns, even won a few medals in my teens. Stopped shooting because the atmosphere at the club was sexist/macho. At least I'm ready for the Zombie Apocalypse, and can take photos without a tripod at 1" exposure.

7. Like to use quotes from an opponent in a debate to attack their argument. Like to debate in general. i can be argumentative just for the sake of being contrary.

8. I dreamed of being multi-lingual as a child. I'm better at writing than talking. I was the first (and only) in my family to go to University.

9. Grew up in a fundie christian family. Read the Bible innumerable amount of times, learned verses and whole chapters by heart. Am now atheist and antitheist, like most of my family.

10. Been diagnosed schizoide, borderline, bipolar, etc. Take antidepressants to avoid incapacitating breakdowns.

11. 90% of my waking life has been spent procrastinating. VS is my latest fix, and the only online community I've ever become a part of.

12. I love dreaming. Most of my best memories are from my dreams. I daydream often, but retain full situational awareness. Lucid dreaming is awesome.

13. All of the major injuries I've sustained were self-inflicted, albeit by accident. Never broke a bone, but my body is always sore (and not always in a good way).

14. Originally left-handed, but forced to be right-handed during childhood because left-handedness is of the devil. Leftie is now my primary masturbation hand <img src="http://cdn.videosift.com/cdm/emoticon/xd3.gif" class="smiley" />

15. I watch porn at least once a week. Consider myself a feminist.

16. Grew up around boys. I don't really count my first time as my first time. Hardly any one I know knows about my first time.

17. Have never been in a successful relationship. Longest and most enjoyable was as someone's lover/fuckbuddy.

18. I have no patience for stupid people.

19. I've never even been tempted to try drugs, cigarettes. Stopped drinking before turning 18. I have little enough control of my brain and emotions as is.

20. I love cinema, I think cinema is humanity reflected, our dreams, desires, hopes, fears and experiences. When watching a movie, I am frequently the only person laughing.

21. I don't really like being the center of attention.

22. My profile name is not an acronym. When I started using the webs I wanted a username that was anonymous and meaningless to all but myself. It is supposed to be an obscurely emoticon-ish version of Robby the Robot from Forbidden Planet.

23. Forbidden Planet freaked me out when I first saw it as a kid. It is still one of my favourite sci-fi movies. I would like to write an SF novel, but fear I lack the discipline and talent.

24. Like to think I'm special/unique, but know that I'm not. Some of this list is copy-pasta'd from others' posts, but also applies for me. (can you find which parts? : )

25. I still have absolutely no clue what I want to do with my life.

On a non-peer pressure related note, I've had three lucid dreams in my life that I can remember. A lucid dream is where you realize you're dreaming and then have complete control of the world. It was like the MATRIX! I pretty much just flew around most of the time and made myself appear in places I wanted to be.
