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

      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.

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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

    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.

    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.
