Don't you hate it when a great dream turns into a quest to find a bathroom?

[charlie and algernon]

You've just met this incredibly attractive person, who also finds you attractive. You guys hit it off and begin a great date and go to claim a winning $100 million lottery ticket together when all of a sudden you leave your date with the ticket to go ... find a bathroom. And THAT becomes the most important "mission" of the dream. :grr: :banghead:

1. And then when you go back to bed you try to get back to where you were

but it never happens.

[kedrys]

2. Oh thank bog, I thought I was the only one who had those dreams

It still sucks though. :grr:

[charlie and algernon]

3. yes, and like rurallib says, when you get back the date is long gone

and it becomes an entirely different dream.

[Rabrrrrrr]

4. and then you find one, but it's wide open to view by everyone else in the middle of Grand Central

or in your classroom or your office...

or you find the door to the bathroom, but on the other side is a 27 story metal staircase going down that you have to jump down occasionally because every other floor there's three or four floors missing, and it wouldn't so bad jumping three or four stories at a shot (because somehow in the dream you can do it, even though you're terrified), it's the cars that are flying through the open spaces almost hitting you every time, or the drivers of said cars who are throwing jagged pieces of metal at you or wielding chainsaws or dropping locomotives, and as you get to the bottom (finally!) buildings start blowing up around you.

At least, that's how mine often go.

5. haha, that sounds about right

usually if the bathroom is in a classroom, that kickstarts the dream where I suddenly realize I have a final exam that day for a class I forgot to attend all year.

7. I have an inappropriate toilet dream about twice a month.

It's overflowing, or the door is gone, or the walls of the stall are short, or the floor is wet. Hate those dreams.

an inexpensive li'l wonder drug... but I call it my "YOU GO NOW" pill.

8. So you pissed away a hundred million bucks?

:wow:

[hippywife]

9. A frequent occurance around here

with out the attractive person or the winning Lotto ticket. It doesn't matter what I'm dreaming about, I seem to be always looking for the toilet.

I wish I could could control my dreams as effectively as my bladder seems to.

:eyes:

[Kat45]

10. Yes, many times, and it's always when I have to go to the bathroom in real life

I'll be going nuts looking for a bathroom, but the date part isn't involved, just the bathroom part. And yes, sometimes I'll find one but not be able to use it for some reason. Or I might be able to use it, but I just can't go. When I wake up, I definitely have to go to the bathroom and I'm grateful that I wasn't able to go in the dream, or I might have really gone in my bed.
