Question

A couple of nights ago I had a dream about standing in front of the toilet peeing.However, when I woke up my PJ's and the sheets were soaking wet.It was really embarrassing as my girlfriend was lying next to me.I'm 26 now and haven't wet the bed since I was 4.Should I be worried or go see a doctor?

Answer 1

No, this happens to a lot of people.  It's the toilet dream.  It gets the best of us.  Don't be worried or go to a doctor.

Answer 2

Nope but I had the runs last week when I was outside and I had to go in someones garden behind a bush, thankfully it was dark . So i feel your embarassment bro :D

Answer 3

It has happened to me as an adult - I really wouldn't worry about it unless it happens again.

Answer 4

no. and im pregnant

go to the doctor.

Answer 5

I dont know. I had a peeing dream last night, but I didnt wet the bed. When I have those dreams, my bladder is usually trying to tell me something and I wake up and go. If it happens more than once, then I would call a doctor.

Answer 6

I had two dreams like that last night. Luckily I woke up with enough time to run to the bathroom. But I am 34 weeks pregnant. Were you drinking by any chance? Bed wetting happens a lot to guys when they drink.

Answer 7

When children experience bed wetting it's because they cannot control their bladders since it has not caught up with the rest of their development. I think what happened to you was just because you made a physical response to what was happening in your dream. This happens to us all the time, just like when we dream about falling we can wake up with our arms in the air and maybe even cry out.

Unless this is a recurring incident, you should have nothing to worry about. Maybe make sure you go to the bathroom before bed and try not to drink too much before bedtime. You most likely were dreaming about urinating b/c you had to go  in the first place.

Answer 8

Ahhh, the pee dream!  Been there once!  Freaked me out too!  I wouldn't worry, you were probably just really tired and in a deep sleep!  I also dreamed I was peeing!  The only time you should worry about that is if it happens more than once or twice in a lifetime.. or if you didn't wake up as soon as you felt the wetness...  If you didn't feel it and slept through till the morning, I would get a check up, could be a seizure issue.. (and by seizure, I don't mean flopping around on the floor.. some people have seizures in the brain and never even know it)   but if it has only happened once, I wouldn't sweat it!  

Answer 9

you had the accident because of the dream - not because you have some physical or emotional problem. just be glad you didn't dream that you were killing your girlfriend! it is embarrasing, but nothing to worry about.

Answer 10

my bf did the same a couple of years ago and he was really embarrassed but i just found it hillarious probably because i, thankfully, wasn't there that particular night. i wouldn't worry about it unless it becomes a frequent thing. it's just one of those things that happen.

Answer 11

This happened to me during my first year of marriage. It was the “peeing dream”. The accident woke me up. Luckily I wasn’t facing my spouse when it happened. It hasn’t happened since. However, about eight years ago I had a “number 2” accident when I sneezed unusually hard. We were in a restaurant at the time. Embarrassing, even though no one knew it but me until we got home. That hadn’t happened to me since I was 2 or 3! I’m still worried that this could happen again, so I try to control coughing and sneezing.

Answer 12

The first thing that comes to mind is, did you get drunk before you went to bed?  Or, were you running on zero-sleep before you crashed (like no sleep the night before)?  If not, I still wouldn't worry too much.  Don't run to a doctor on your first offense.  If it continues, or you're urinating more frequently during the day and it's accompanied by over the top thirst, call your primary care and see what he recommends.

Answer 13

nope, going to the doctor may not help?

i think its because you are dreaming of peeing and u peed

or maybe, go to the doctor to check if everything is okie

=D

Answer 14

Oh gosh I had that happen once when i was in high school!  I too had a dream that I was sitting on the toilet peeing....and sure enough i woke up and had wet the bed.  Quite embarassing!  

Answer 15

It happened to me 2 times in the last 6 years. The last time was 3 nights ago. I had a dream that I was peeing in a toilet and I ended up waking myself and running to the bathroom as pee was running down my leg. I couldn't stop it. I hate those dreams!! My husband thought it was funny. By the way I am 31.
