So the Grandma dying dreams haven't happened in a while. But now I have dreams like this one.
I'm at a theme-park of some sort and I have to go to the bathroom. So i go into one of the restrooms. This restroom is DISGUSTING. Anywhoo I go and look for a decent toilet. First ones are just grimy. Then I find one that seems decent, but when I go to sit down, water begins shooting at me. I look at the next one and the waters just shooting through the stall like nobody business. Next stall isn't even a toilet, its an upside-down urinal. Finally I see a separate room with its own bathroom in it. I go in there. Everything seems alright besides it being as clean as a gas station bathroom. Then out of nowhere, some guy opens the door, not realizing I am in there. Funny thing is that it wasn't the door I went through, it was one to the park. The door wasn't even one where it could be locked; more like one that is found on one of those old southern shacks or something, where its all broken down and really serves no purpose whatsoever. I don't remember much besides that but this is what the handy-dandy dream dictionary has to say about it.
Bathroom: To dream that you are in the bathroom, relates to your instinctual urges. You may be experiencing some burdens/feelings and need to "relieve yourself". Alternatively, it may symbolize purification and self-renewal. You need to cleanse yourself, both emotionally and psychologically.
To dream that you can not find the bathroom, signifies that you are have difficulties in releasing and expressing your emotions.
That random upside down urinal: To see a urinal in your dream, signifies disorder in your personal relationships. (i guess since it was upside down my personal relationships are REALLY fucked up)
The guy opening the door: To see opened doors in your dream, symbolizes your receptiveness and willingness to accept new ideas/concepts. In particular, to see a light behind it suggests that you are moving toward greater enlightenment/spirituality.
There was also a dream on this website where they had similar situations. This guy was in a public restroom that was maze-like. Here's what the interpreter said:
Your dream really shows a preoccupation with the bathroom. The bathroom is a place where natural functions occur; symbolically this includes the expression of your feelings/thoughts and your instinctual nature. Since our early learning about bathroom activities are usually taught by parents, it can reflect early training/conditioning, which you accept or rebel against. Therefore, the bathroom may bring about issues of control, rebellion, and independence.
You described the bathroom as some sort of maze. This suggest that you are feeling confused and lost in your own sea of emotions. Are you experiencing some feelings or burdens and need to "relieve yourself"?
Ok so putting it all together, there are a bunch of relationships and/or emotions that are bugging me. One of them is really messed up. I also might want to gain some sort of control into my life. Some part of me just needs to let go in some way or another. But then, someone is going to help me accept the problems or maybe fix them.
So now all i have to do is put names to the symbols (i.e find out what's bugging me and who's going to help me with it). Have a good day.
