I posted a response a day or so ago but the hampsters ate it. I didn’t repost…suffice to say, I’ve had the dream too… I felt this lady is living the dream: [http://www.thisisgloucestershire.co.uk/displayNode.jsp?nodeId=84282&command=displayContent&sourceNode=84281&contentPK=2428513](http://www.thisisgloucestershire.co.uk/displayNode.jsp?nodeId=84282&command=displayContent&sourceNode=84281&contentPK=2428513) ---

You know what’s really weird about the “Ack! My Teeth Are Falling Out!” dream? No matter how many teeth I spit out there are always plenty more… (Once I dreamt taht I looked in the mirror and my teeth all fell over like a row of dominos… Yet I was still able to continue spitting teeth out as the dream kept going.) ---

I once had a dream I was on board a spaceship, and for some reason everyone everyone had to defecate in these large clear bags (looked like garbage bags) which were stored underneath the bunks (yuk!) After these bags were full, everyone would take their bag of poo and wait in a line where a trash-compactor thing would get rid of it. Awful dream. People getting poo all over themselves. One poor guy even spilled his bag of poo on himself in line :eek: ---

I have the “no bathroom” dream. There’s not a bathroom to be found anywhere, and I have to find a suitable substitute, like behind a tree in a huge field or behind a building with a huge parking lot. ---

I had a new one this weekend: a poopy baby/broken bathroom dream. I have no idea whose baby she was supposed to be or why my subconscious gave her the same name as one of my cockatiels but she was naked and messy and I was trying to find somewhere to wash her off. We ended up in a public bathroom that was being repaired and I started to give her a bath in one of the few functioning sinks. That’s when I woke up. ---

I have the public bathroom dreams, the nude in public dreams and the teeth all falling out dreams. I must admit that I’d never had a teeth dream until I lived in the far North of Japan where people have terrible teeth - kids in villages often have rotten teeth. I have a dream reaction to eating MSG and if I’m too hot. They are nightmares usually in form of being chased in some way. Anyone else? ---

Odd. I get the “I gotta pee!” dreams every now and then. I find some place, private or not, and just let fly. And fly, and fly. After about 10 gallons or so, at which point the surrounding area is a couple of inches deep, I zip up. In less than a mninute, it starts all over again. The cleanliness or dirtiness of the place has never been a factor. The longest I’ve gone is three cycles before waking up, and in every case, I’ve needed to go to the bathroom, badly. No accidents, so far. Oh yeah, and I’m male. ---

Prehaps the [Dreams Interpreted](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=127202) thread will help with those troblesome night-terrors. egg ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by emulsified \* > \*\*Does anyone else have the dream where your teeth are falling out? \*\* Yep - tho it’s usually just one or two… I think it means I’m grinding my teeth in my sleep, because sometimes I’ll wake up with a sore jaw the next morning. ---

I’ve actually encountered an Insanely ublic bathroom in real life. St. Augustine, Florida, a local McDonalds. The men’s room is 15’x20’, one sink, one urinal, one toilet, NO STALLS. You could have twenty guys milling around in there. Thankfully, the door had a lock. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/i-had-the-awful-bathroom-dream-last-night/124901.md?page=2)
