strange that... this has happened to me too. I wasn't a bed wetter as a child, though through my teenage years it probably happened about 4 or 5 times. I'd always managed to catch myself since then that if I'm about to pee in my dream to realise that I'm still in bed.
now I'm 32, I had a argument with my partner and was staying away from home... and I wet the bed. This hasn't happened for years, and never away from home.
looking up the contributing factors on wikipedia... this falls under secondary nocturnal enurisis.
Psychological factors
adhd
alcohol consumption
strange though.. I've had arguments before & not wet the bed. I had a beer or two - never a problem in the past.
I did sleep (90mins) later than normal, and this happened early morning...

I woke to discover that it wasn't a nice warm shower that I was bathing in...
Damnit - and soaked through the sheets, mattress overlay, mattress and base of the bed. Damn..

Hello there,
I might have a solution! God I really hope! I am trying this for 4 months now and I really feel the improvement!
This is not a commercial! Here is my story on really short to make me more serious ..
I am 25 .. married .. struggling with "the dream", and not only, since I was a baby .. (Secondary) nocturnal enuresis
My parent both pediatricians! .. my bigger sister always making fun of me ..
My mother wanted to give me a hormone treatment when I was 7, my father disagreed .. Even now I see the box with the medicine in my mothers drawer .. I wanted it so bad!
My father was always saying that I will stop after I reach "the age" of becoming a woman ..
He also tried stopping me from going to the toilet over the day so that my bladder would enlarge ..
I have to admit that after my menstruation appeared, I had nocturnal accidents rarely for a period .. but then it depended on .. God knows what.
After 15 years old I talked to my grandmother and she told me a brother of hers had the same problem!!! but my father didn't.
I went to the university .. stood in a students hostel .. hiding my accidents all the time .. awful ...
Before I got married (half a year ago) I was pretty fine for like 2 years ( only 1 accident per year or so).
Since I got married .. I had the accidents a little bit more often .. my husband is very supportive but doesn't stand to see me doing nothing about it so I started searching ANYTHING that may help.
I was obsessed because I always said that I won't get married because of this .. and now .. meeting this guy .. the perfect guy .. I am obsessed with loosing him because of this problem.
So ..I read about plants, teas, and about homeopathic treatments, a.s.o.
And I encountered one day this forum .. because of you my husband understood I am not the only freak :D the only one having this problem.
At first I was very furious on this forum because I felt .. uncovered .. but now YOU were the ones I thought first to tell about what I am still trying and I feel it might really work.
Something else about me .. from the possible causes of the enuresis, I've been through 90% of them .. constipation, urinary infections, emotive trauma ( my father drank .. my mother died of cancer ) .. almost a physical abuse .. ( I was "a little" kidnapped) but I managed to escape in time (when I was 9 or 10) a.s.o ..
So .. as I said .. almost 100% of the causes. Including genetically heritage.
I went to a doctor ( another one in the row .. ) that told me that she really thinks that has something to do with my nerves, that they are incompletely evolved, and also that I carry the genetically heritage in them.
So she gave me a syrup to help my nerves do .. what they should do.
So .. what am I doing now:
I am drinking twice a day a spoon ( a sip) (in the morning, and in the evening) of a syrup that claims to work for this enuresis thing, by helping the nerves and synapses work better.
I am doing this since the 10th of January.
I had one accident at the end of January ( and I was devastated .. although I know that the treatment has to last for 4 to 6 months) but continued.. I forgot to take it maybe 4 times until now ( some mornings and some evenings), but generally I followed it like my last hope, though I am ready to try something else, though I HOPE I WON"T NEED TO!
Since February until now .. nothing .. so God help me! even if I drink in the evening .. I wake up.
I had the dream 5 days in a row!!! and happened nothing .. I woke up .. I went to the bathroom ( once I tried not going and it still was OK! I haven't peed in the bed until I woke up for good)
But the fact that I woke up when dreaming "the dream".. it's like WOW!
For a while I was afraid to write here because I am afraid it won't work after I reveal my "secret" .. but I want to keep faith and hope it will work for you too!
Now, the name of the "magical potion" :
Noni Liquid, it is a syrup that contains Noni extract, a magical plant :) you can read more about it on the internet.
I know that in USA you might find ti produced my many companies, but in Romania, where I am from, I found it only from CaliVita, and that's were from I have it.
I found it a little expensive ( my salary is less than 1000 euros, and the syrup is 67-68 euros, but .. I doesn't matter)
Here is a link ( I am giving you the UK link because it is written in English) :
With this being told .. have patience and good luck!
I will write you during the time to see the effect ..
Thinking about you all ..
God help us!
PS: for those for which it won't work : try homeopath treatments! I heard only good review about them as well!

I am 35, female, a mother of a two years old boy. I did not know anything about adult bed wetting until 2 nights ago when it happened to me. It was so embarrassing. I had that same dream too....but I always had this dream, never wetted the bed. Reading all your posts, something else other than the dream is common among most of us - why do we wait too long all the time? I do not have any statistics to back up the link between this bed wetting and the long wait. But I believe it's got to have something to do with this as I just noticed a change of my potty habit recently. Usually, I use the potty 3 or 4 times during the day, so, about 2 - 3 hours interval. But lately, I found that I had to use the potty like every 45 minutes or so. So, I kept telling myself "no, you don't need to use the potty, you just used it" and held it, and held it and held it until I barely made it to the potty. Many times, I had to do the potty dance in the stall. Now that I recognized this pattern, I am determined to change it. I use the potty when I first feel it, not until I can hold it no more. I am going to take control over my body. I am not sure how I can control the dream yet. But if I can be awaken by a full bladder in the past, I know I will be able to do it again now and in the future. The first step is to quit waiting till the last minute. That, by the way, also increases the chance of UTI, a known cause for bed wetting. I wish you all good luck.
This happened to me for the first time this morning. I am a 21 year old female and had the same dream and same experience as everyone else. Luckily I woke up before I made a mess of my sheets. As far as gastro-intestinal issues, I have IBS, so I frequently have bloating, constipation, etc. Yesterday my stomach wasn't feeling the greatest, but I'm not sure how that would contribute. Ever since I wet myself this morning I have felt like I need to pee, even though i have gone several times. I tried taking some cranberry pills to see if that helps.
okay, im 16 and i was potty trained early as a baby, never wet my bed in different places no trouble with stress etc. however once when i was ill i wet the bed whilst having the dream of being on the toilet. i woke up and my sheets were soaked this was one occasion, i have the dream maybe once a year and usually stop myself in time wetting only my pants. however im having the dream nearly every night now and each time im wetting more and more, any infomation to help me stop would be amazing.
Hello Im a 52 year old mom and I have frequent bed wetting problems. I have the same dream of peeing in a coffee pot then i wet my bed. My husband sleeps on the floor because he is tired of getting wet legs. My kids laugh at me because they dont even wet the bed. To make things worse my husband and I ate Mexican food the other night and i wet the bed after too man margaritas and I also cramped m pants from too much of the beans and rice. Any suggestions to help me control m pees and poops while in bed? PLEEEEASE HELP! :-( :-(
Hello my name is Christina and I am a 33 yr old gal/ I have frequent bed wetting episodes that are stemmed from a dream where I am swimming in a pool with Ian Thorpe. Out of nowhere I start doing the breaststroke with Mr. Thorpe and then I wake up with wet sheets. I recently tried wearing adult diapers but they just give me a lousy rash on my buttocks and thighs. My problem has gotten worse because just the other day I fell asleep on a roadtrip and I drenched my pants from Victorias Secret. My boyfried Sal was rather irritated that I pee peed up his brand new Lexus A450. I then had to walk threw Wal-Mart with tinkle pants and try to by a new pear of pants. My bed wetting episodes first appeared while I was at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville. I bought a puppy named Dymitrisov a Black Lab and I though he was wetting my bed, unfortunately it was me. I think its because he made me so happy and giddy like a school girl. Please help me I am sooooo embarrassed and even my Psychologist makes pokes at my condition. What should I do? Bladder augmentation surgery or should I just sleep in my backyard? Someone help me PLZ!
Hey Christina I used to wet my bed until I started taking Benadryl. This has allowed me to sleep at least 3.5 hours without having to go. You should try this remedy. Good luck
ya i understand what your going through, just a couple of days ago i found myself soaked in my husbands F150 i was sleeping in the back of the truck for a long trip and i awoke to my husband angrily screaming about my yellow mistake i didnt that there were so many people like me though my doctor said that i have a leaky bladder. its really supposed to work like a Dam all built up and strong but its like it sprung a leak and if im asleep i lose control and it pours out
I have had the same exact problem. Im actually a 36 Y/0 female. wet the bed as a child been dry since like 18. the past two nights in a row I caught myself , I remember I was doing something like dreaming i was going to bathroom , I woke up and realized I was peeing in the bed both times and caught myself easily and finished in the toilet. Im on certian medications but have been on them for a while and dont know why now its started up again, but I guess its pretty common. Mabey this is a fluke and it wont happen again much luck to those who deal with this annoyance on a regular basis! I guess Ill go to a doctor if it continues! 8-|
I have the same dream!!!! I only remember wetting the bed as a kid on a few occasions; but all of those times I remember having a dream where I am sitting on the toilet peeing. Now I am 30 years old and had the dream 6x this month and wet the bed!!!! Nothing has changed in my life and I seem to be pretty healthy. I am afraid my roommate will find out; I mean how many times does a person wash their sheets. I am strongly considering buying some type of night time protection (an adult diaper); but don't what kind to buy and I am embarrassed to purchase them in the store or have them delivered since my roommate might get the package!
I got one for you. Last night I pissed my top bunk in my barracks room I was sharing with three guys. I'm the new Lieutenant, so this would have been a catastrophe had I not quickly (and quietly) got it all cleaned up without waking anyone. I've had these dreams since I was 16 (I'm 26 male now). I was a bed wetter as a child, and took meds until I was 8 or so. Usually happens in my bed once a year, but it's been 4 times this year. The dream is never the same. Last month I caught myself within a dream within a dream, only to piss in the third layer of dream after checking to see if I was sleeping. My brain outsmarts me about once out of three dreams. I feel utterly helpless.
WHY DOES THIS HAPPEN?
WHY DOES THIS HAPPEN?
I find that whenever I have an accident it's always while I'm dreaming of urinating.
Funny thing is I've also had urination/defecation dreams with no physical real-world consequences.
The one thing that seems to link my accidents is a very strong desire to not get out of bed even though I know I need to go, usually because I'm snug under the covers/in a sleeping bag and the outside air is so damn cold. I can suppress my urges so deep that I don't feel them again until they manifest in a dream.
But like I said before I can dream about urinating, realize I'm dreaming, and then force myself awake to go to the bathroom.
The times I don't make it to the bathroom are when I dream about urinating, try to force myself out of the dream, think I'm actually awake, and then let go, but never feeling really comfortable because some part of me knows I'm still dreaming. At that point I stop urinating and wake up simultaneously.
Anyway the best thing for me is to get my warm, comfortable, lazy ass out of bed the minute the urge wakes me and to not suppress it.
I actually have very strong pubococcygeal muscles (the ones worked by Kegels) partly from a combination of holding it in as a child out of embarrassment at asking to go to the bathroom, an accident that broke my leg and arm and had me using a portable urinal which I hated, and regular Kegels. So if anything having too strong pubococcygeals seems to work against me contrary to popular advice.

(Female-20)Same situation as mostly all, and I am here laying down on my wet bed...it hasn't happened in so long that I am so embarrassed right now and I was thinking about doing what the guy said with the limonade.. I used to tell my mom and she would laugh, but I didn't like that bc she would make fun of it, and I was about 15.. Her words- isn't it nice that a 20 year old is still wetting her bed" in a sarcastic voice of course...well NOW I am 20 and I wet my bed...I will probably just wait til my sister wakes up and leaves so I can say I threw up or something :/
