    Am I the only one who ends up peeing in the dream, only to wake up with a wet bed?

    No, that is not a joke, despite how disgusting it sounds.

    Edit: nevermind, the reply thread right above me mentioned that someone else might’ve done this.

      It’s common enough when younger. It stops in teenage years to middle age, then starts again in old age.

      Do some kegels to firm up that pelvic floor. Drink less water before bed. If you can, remember pissing in dream means pissing in bed. Wake yourself up before you mark the sheets like every drunk lush of a woman I’ve slept with.

        I am certainly not here to be all like MEN DO IT TOO but I felt the need to drop an anecdote about a lead singer in a band I toured with once. He only drank black label beer, no liquor. He blacked out every night and pissed all the beds he met lol

      My sister had a pad thst goes under her sheets that when it got wet it rang an alarm and she had to chart the piss puddle.

      She hasn’t wet the bed for 50 years.

      I had to learn to remember this within the dream and to forcibly wake myself up from it to stop this happening. Which I think is quite an accomplishment, if I may say so myself.

      I suspect it goes back to wearing nappies/diapers as a baby. Babies naturally try to wait until they are unclothed to relieve themselves; they essentially have to learn how to go in a nappy, or else let it happen because they can’t hold it in any longer. Then they have unlearn this with potty training. It’s crazy really.
