    Omg have had this bathroom dream 1000000 times. Psychologically, any insights on what it might mean?

    I hate you and I also love you for connecting all of us with the weird liminal bathroom dream.

      Me too!

      There’s at least… Three of us now.

      My dream is almost this exact room, but ALSO notable by it being connected to an entire labyrinth of doors and hallways and other rooms.

      My dream tends to go: I am outside or in a lobby area. I need to go. I go into the bathroom door, which leads to more doors, and more hallways and more doors, and eventually I get to the room pictured and I’m like, noooo, so I keep going and go though the next door and keep going on my journey, coming across room after room of varying AWFUL configurations and usability. If a toilet is clean, it’s just out in the open, if it’s a nice private one, it’s clogged. I continue on, sometimes encountering a sauna room with pools and bathtubs. I never stop. I have to go. More hallways, more weird rooms. If I ever do end up finding a place to go it only ever lasts 5 seconds and then someone else comes in and sits right across from me and since no doors it’s awkward. And something always goes wrong too. No TP, doesn’t flush, I miss entirely, etc. And when I finally get to wash my hands there is never soap and usually no water or something doesn’t work. And I also sometimes the get caught in another loop of trying to find a working sink, or soap. it’s HELL.

      Until this post I didn’t know this was a thing. I thought I just had a weird bathroom kink or something, but I’ve had lots of dreams with bathrooms very similar to this. Had no idea this was a shared experience.

      I also often end up peeing on something in the weird bathroom and the suddenly realizing that the thing I’m peeing on is not supposed to be peed upon and feel awful about it, and sometimes someone comes in and sees me peeing on the part I wasnt supposed to be peeing on.

        For the 100th time, stop saying it was a dream, that does not excuse you peeing on everything. Stop it!

      I helped start a subreddit that was like “thatweirdbathroomdream” or something, I don’t remember it was easily a decade ago explicitly for people to talk about their weird bathroom dreams! Apparently it’s a typically American dream (so is losing your teeth but cutting your hair/hair falling out is more universal) and typically includes unusual open spaces, lack of privacy, unusual lighting, they typically also are clean like this or filthy, or at least the toilet you interact with could be filthy. I find collective cultural dreams to be SO fascinating

      Unfortunately it was too niche and I’m assuming has since died

        It felt so creepy when I saw the picture and got a flashback of dreaming that bathroom. It got doubly creepy when I found a comment about it already. But I’m not American.

      Yep, and the only available one is overflowing with piss-n-shit water, and the toilet paper is soggy, and there are no papertowels and the soap is empty and the sinks are just more toilet bowls full of piss-n-shit water.

          It’s like that, disgusting and/or exposed, because your body is trying to keep you from pissing the bed. When you start to have a dream like that, wake up and you’ll realize you need to go to the bathroom. Your own clean normal private bathroom.

        Hm. Interesting how negatively coded this scene is when I hear people talk about their own “that one dream public bathroom”.

        I distinctively remember mine having knee-high cloudy water, but it was very dark. My innate “understanding” in the dream is that the water is some kind of natural feature, not sewage. I don’t remember the sinks, tissues, cleanliness or of the bowls, or anything, just the incredibly weird layout and flooding, and the weird lack of privacy due to the doors and walls of the stalls being higher to accommodate the water.

        US style stalls where you can conveniently park your XXXL truck under the divider aren’t a thing here.

      This reminds me of a weird bathroom dream I had once. I was at the gym and went to the restroom where there were about 90 toilets, all in glass stalls that were maybe waist-high so when you sit you can see everyone’s face.

      Anyway I ended up walking almost clear to the back because most were messy beyond comprehension and I swear it’s for every time I’ve scrubbed a toilet for work.

    TV show idea for bottom panel: see how many toilets each contestsnt can hit in 60 sec. Have funny animal mascots randomly jump out of stalls.

    Winner wins a high-tech bidet seat and a lifetime supply of adult diapers.

    Needs toilets coming out of the wall and ceiling. Also on the above image are those two showers flanking the door with rainfall showerheads in the ceiling and one has a toilet in it? Just in case you gotta go and don’t want to waffle stomp or something?

        where’s the sink

        The water just flows off the countertop, onto the floor, and into the hole underneath. The handle next to the mirror is too reduce the chance of you busting your ass after washing your hands, slipping, and getting tangled up in the chest high hanging light.

      I got the impression those were light fixtures in the back, but who knows for someone that wants a bathtub next to glass double doors. (I could own all the land for a good distance around, and I’d still be uncomfortable with that.)
