Which post are you referring to, Den? The OP's post, or Jaylee's "Oh pee!" post? They're both pretty odd.

Because I have never done that either
Well, it's MUCH easier than turning off the machine and untangling yourself from the hose. Besides, it's been too darn cold to get up these last few nights!

It's those FLYING dreams that really throw me for a loop...

They are kinda fun!

Unless your bedroom isn't in the first floor...

I am DEFINITELY not going to admit to having done that, Jaylee, even if it happened on more than one occasion!
This has never happened to me, but I guess I've come close on many occasions. I can't tell you how many times I have dreamed that I had to go, but when I found a restroom I was unable to use it, either because it was so totally gross (floor flooded with pee and fixtures covered in poo), or it was too embarrassing (e.g., door missing, or toilet in front of window with lots of people outside)

My post was totally not bizarre Well, not to me at least, but maybe I am just weird?

I have never dreamed that I was flying. I dream about peeing a lot though and always get a good workout running to the bathroom

I usually dream about work Even when I am home I can't stop going to that place

I honestly think the weirdest thing about the original post is the assumption that all people "dream about peeing."

I do not recall EVER dreaming about peeing, and (since CPAPing) I have a rich and varied dream life.

Just last night I dreamt that my house was taken over by small mammals and reptiles, and the porcupines were destroying the woodwork everywhere. And there were frogs all through my heating vents. The place was a mess! (and I was so worried the frogs were going to dry out...hmmmm...perhaps a dream about the need to refill my humidifier...but wait! I don't keep frogs in there!)

Ya, that's a dream I don't miss having.....used to always dream about peeing, and quite often the kind that would go on forever....I'd eventually break out of sleep worried that I was doing it....and then rush to do it. It was so bad that sometimes I'd wear a diaper to bed....

Well......... It appears that this whole thread is developing into something that Gary Larson ("The Far Side") might consider "fertile ground" for some further material.

What an interesting dream, MoneyGal! I have almost no dream recall, and I rather miss it.

Draem On- I know I was teasing you right back

Congrats on losing that weight, that is awesome.

I would either dream about peeing or being in the shower. At any rate, I would wake up doing it so I got good at sprinting to the bathroom.

Unfortunatly, the last two places I have lived have not had a bathroom on the same floor of my bedroom
