Question

Why do we dream of toilet-scenes when our bladder is full during our sleep?

Answer 1

I agree with In Rainbows. I fall asleep with the TV on sometimes and my dreams will sort of take on part of whatever's on TV. Once, I fell asleep while watching Free Willy 2, and at the part where there's an oil spill and the water catches on fire, I dreamed that I was at a circus show training a tiger named Willy when the arena caught on fire and the tiger had to jump over the flames.

Our physical surroundings have a huge impact on dreams. When I'd REALLY have to use the bathroom while sleeping, I'd have continous "toilet" dreams. Like everywhere I'd go in the dream, I'd be in or near a bathroom, looking for one and/or using one (in the dream, not in real life).

So yeah--it's just your physical body asserting its influence on your unconscious mind.

Answer 2

That explains all the "crappy" dreams I've been having. LQTMS.

Answer 3

Actually, what I think is that your dreams are effected by what is happening to you while you are asleep. Like if your dog is l*****g your face you might start dreaming about someone kissing you (like in tv haha) or something similar to that. So then if you have a full bladder, you're going to dream about using the bathroom.

Hope this helped.
