recurrent single episode bed wetting accompanied by dreams

This isn't something to really be embarrassed of I think that most people have this problem but they are to a shamed to admit it. I have the same problem and was never a chronic bed wetter when i was young. As adults we do what we did as children, we hold it.... As children we go to bed and are so tired from playing we are to tired to wake up and go to the bathroom so we wet ourselves. As adults we follow the same patterns we are so tired at the end of the night from work, and taking care of our families that once we go to bed we are reluctant to wake up for any reason. I find that when I am exceptionally tired, I have this problem. You don't want to get out of bed because you know in a few hours (which seems like a few minutes) you are going to get up and start the whole routine over so instead of waking and going when you have the urge to pee, you hold it. When the pressure builds up to a point where your bladder is bursting, your self conscious mind compensate by urging you to dream about going to the bathroom, in your head you see it clearly, you go to your bathroom, everything is in it that you remember, shampoos, magazines you see it just as you would if you actually wake up. You sit down to pee, oh and it feeeel soooo good. Then it dawns on you. Oh c**p I am still in bed so you jump up and try to make it to the bathroom so you won't wet your bed... I did this not to long ago, I was at my mother laws house and i went to the bathroom except it was my bathroom. Half way through peeing, i realized... I am not at home why am I using my bathroom, Luck had it I didn't actually pee. Your mind tricks you in to thinking you are using the bathroom, if the dream is reoccurring it will even place you in your own bathroom. most the time in your dream you will dream of peeing before you actually do, If your bladder is full enough you will wet the bed before you wake up... My advice to you is if you are excessively tired girls wear a pad to bed, it will catch any urine you might expel.
Guys, i don't what to tell ya, I guess you have to wear an adult diaper, unless you feel comfortable wearing a pad in your underwear.

I am a 20 years old Male. In really good health. I play high level sports and go to the gym 3 times a week. I don't drink, do not take drugs and don't eat fast food.

I can't even remember the last time I wet my bed but that was when I was a kid, a long time ago.

Well last night, I had the same f***ing dream everyone is talking about. Except it wasn't my own bathroom but a public one. I don't know where exactly I was but it seems that it was in a school. I was peeing in an urinal and some dude was trying to look over me. I then barely could aim at the urinal and started peeing on the floor. I remember taking toilet paper to clean the floor and told the dude that I pissed on the floor.

I woke up and felt that my underwear was wet. Took me a few seconds to realize I had peed in my sleep. Don't know if I woke up right after the dream though.

I don't know what the hell is going on and why it happened but it is f***ing weird and embarrassing.

i'm a 17 year old female and i've had these exact same episodes happen to me every few years or so. it's happened twice in the last two months, so i'm getting concerned. one of the episodes happened yesterday. i clean up what i can, but it's the absolute worst feelings to wake up and realize that my dream got the best of me again. i can usually wake up in the middle of it and stop before it gets too bad. my dad is great about helping me, but i'm way too embarrassed to tell anyone else. i've brought it up to my doctor, but she said i shouldn't be worried until it becomes a regular occurrence, but i'm not satisfied with that. i go to college next year and i can't imagine having to deal with this then. i really wish i could have medicine for it or some sort of emotional therapy. i would do almost anything to get it to stop.

Seven years of age seems to be common and that's when I stopped wetting my bed, until a few weeks ago when it happened once again at the age of 50!

I thought it might be a serious medical problem or the early onset of incontinence. Then it the dreams theme occurred to me which is how I found myself on this site.

As when I was a child there was a dream about urinating. This time, in the dream, I just pee'd and pee'd and pee'd. Like a waterfall, desperate and urgent. There was no waking up for me until the mattress was well and truly soaked. Thankfully I was alone and live in a sunny country.

I'll be sharing a room with people when I travel soon. What a nightmare.

This happens to my 31 year old husband about 4-5 times a month. He always has "the dream" when it happens. I think with him, he has a small bladder and habitually waits until the last second to begin with. This also results in 4-5 daytime accidents a month as well (which is more than our 3 year old daughter...LOL). This is the way he's always been since he was potty trained, or at least as potty trained as he was going to be. For us, 4-5 times a month is enough for a diaper at night; the wet wakeup calls and the laundry just isn't worth it. He didn't wear a diaper at night since kindergarten age, but once we lived together, I put my foot down. He hated it at first but has accepted it. Most of his daytime accidents are at home, which is frustrating since a toilet is always available. But he's really just a big toddler when it comes to potty issues, so I know it's not his fault. He just gets distracted playing video games or watching TV and stuff. On car trips or long days out, I demand that we wear a diaper. Sometimes he ends up needing, sometimes not, but at least we're prepared. Anyway, that's it on him.

This dream never happened to me until last month (I'm 28). Now, in the last 23 nights, I have wet the bed 23 times. Every night. I'm now in diapers at night as well, which is mortifying for someone who has never had issues with this sort of thing. Yes, I have been checked out by the doctor and I'm fine; I am going through a very stressful time at work (which will last another 3-4 months or so) and doc seems to think when the stress is gone, I will stop. But if I wet the bed for 4-5 months straight, I'm worried it will be chronic and I won't stop. I hadn't wet during the day since I was 2 until yesterday. I picked my daughter up from day care, and was helping her finish an art project, and I had to go very suddenly. I kept coloring with her and found myself unable to stop squirming. Then it happened. In a room full of 3 and 4 year olds, I had a complete and total wetting accident. My pants, my socks, my shoes, the carpet, drenched. The teacher told me just to go out to the car and she'd bring my daughter out. I was so mortified that I went home and put a diaper on for the night - didn't need it, used the toilet, but I was mortified. My daughter asked why I waited so long, and I had no answer. Then today, it happened at day care again. We were leaving when I felt the need. I knew I would have to use the kids' toilet, so I asked the teacher (she obviously said yes after yesterday). But I didn't make it, and about 2/3 of my bladder emptied in my jeans again. So embarrassing doing this in front of little kids. Because I hurried in there (just to have an accident) a little boy peed and pooped his pants because he had to wait. I don't think I'm the teachers' favorite person right now. I just feel like a little baby. Sigh.

I seam to be havin a similar problem i am 19 and recently joined the navy... my first incident was hmm about a year n half ago when my room was being decorated and had to sleep on the floor, another incident was about half way through my phase one training this year in about may time, i then done it again during phase two training and again when i joined my first ship and then again when i went back to collingwood for a course so that is like 4 times in the past 6-8 months... I have recently got a new bf however i am affraid to sleep over with him because of this problem i dont recall ever having a toilet dream tho i allways wake up... Sometimes its alot and sometimes not

No one knows as i allways manage to clean up with no one noticing however i am affraid this wont last long and im sure my bf wont be too impressed.

I cant seam to put my finger on why now it never was a problem as a kid and hasnt been since, i dont have dreams i think im putting it down to new places but i dont kno?? Any tips on how to avoid it ??

Just thought I'd update on my wife real quick (the woman who got sick and has been having accidents). Her control has come back a bit, but not much. She has the bladder control of a small child and has adjusted to the point where she can stay dry most of the time; she just makes a point to go as soon as she has to go. There are times still when she waits too long (cooking or watching TV) and has to end up changing her pants, but they are less frequent than before. When she goes to work, or out with friends or out shopping (pretty much whenever she leaves the house) she now wears a pull-up. There are just too many times when she's out when making it to a bathroom just doesn't happen in time. She seems okay with it now, she's used to it, which I guess I'm happy about. I didn't like it when she'd cry after wetting herself. We were out to dinner with friends tonight and was excited looking at the menu, waited too long and suddenly announced that she had to go to the bathroom. She came back to the table and told us that she'd had an accident and had to change, that's why it took 5 min (the friends already knew about her problem)

Last weekend we were at her mom's celebrating Xmas early, and I saw the last couple seconds of a potty dance when she was in the kitchen baking cookies with her mom. Before I could remind her, the floodgates opened and she just stood there peeing her pants. Her mom just laughed and said just like the old days. She wet herself again an hour later in the same situation, after which I made her wear a pullup the rest of the day.

She is still wearing a diaper to bed and wetting nightly. I try to baby her a bit and change her each night (around 4 or 5 AM) and she is comfortable enough with the whole situation that she usually comes out for breakfast in just a diaper and pajamas. Today, she had an accident in her diaper around 11, just waited too long watching a movie. I decided to just change her again since she was just being lazy in PJs; she did not object. At 11:30, she decided we should go out to grab lunch and do some shopping, so she got dressed. She came out of the bedroom and I could tell she was still diapered, not in a pull-up. I told her I could tell and she looked like a toddler - she was surprised but said she was ready now and it was fine. She had 3 spare diapers with her too. She used the potty at lunch, but then when we were out, she had an accident at Macy's. She had to be changed, so I brought her out to the car to change her. She didn't mind; I think she's liking this?

I am so grateful I found this site, I have had the same problem as everyone else that post. I also had a problem wetting the bed till i was around 9 or so. In my teens it was not a problem but about four years ago, I am now 29 I started having episodes of wetting the bed each time I am dreaming I am using the restroom. The last two times I have been somewhere other then my own bed. Last night it happened again... I am visiting my parents in Houston, I have a dream i am soaking in a hot-tub and I start to pee in the water in my dream (I know :-) wake up and realize i am wet and go to the restroom to finish. Is there any medical explanation for this? I did have a UTI infection that has since passed.

I read some of the posts here and I see my issue is much worse than most. I've been wetting the bed since I was a child. It has not stopped. I'm going on 30 and I'm a male. Add to this that the frequency varies a good bit. It has happened multiple times in one night. Sometimes it goes a couple days or a week then happens again. Talk about a frustrating disorder. I truly believe it is something neurological and not psychological in my case. For those of you that had a relapse since being a child, and having it start up again then you have a good chance of solving this psychologically. I try every trick in the book and it still happens. I don't drink or eat anything for three hours before going to sleep. I even eat saltines at times with hopes that somehow my body work to retain the body fluid etc. I usually, not always, have the infamous dream where I'm at a toilet, tree, whatever only to wake up in my own excrement. It always happens while I'm sleeping and now awake though. This is a horrible ailment. I have not had a steady relationship in my life until I was 27 years old. I couldn't take the embarrassment so I shunned relationships altogether. I've been hiding this for years. Not even my own mother knows. I've posted it here and my girlfriend knows that is it. I could tell you some stories about the energy and lengths I've gone to with intent to hide this. I was doing a pretty good job hiding the fact with my current gf til the inevitable happened and I finally had to own up. She has been incredibly supportive.

I think that it has become a realization that this will be a life-long disorder. I get down on myself then realize that a lot of people have their own situations that they are dealing with. In comparison this could be a whole lot worse. It does suck though. The little things like sleeping over at someones house or going camping can and has been a complete nightmare. You feel guilty to mess up someone's furniture so you just say you like sleeping on the floor. You have to constantly think about how to try and prevent it and how to clean it up when that doesn't work.

The thing that's most frustrating is that it's not even that I have a full bladder half the time. It just decides its going to happen whether the bladder is full or not. It does sometimes, but not always, follow the infamous peeing dream. One minute your at a party with friends then decide to take a leak by the tree then walla your in your bed realizing a tree isn't what you were peeing on. You begin to develop a sense of humor about it because the other option is despair and self pity. Good luck to all of you with intent to cure this ailment. Some of us know all too well what it's like.

I'm a male at 23 and yea it happened to me again I notice that it normally happens when I'm not at home but maybe a year or so ago I did happen at home I read somewhere that it can b passed on by your parents and I remember my mom telling me she had betwetting issues so I'm thinking maybe I should see a DR frickin embarassing :-(

bk03... you definitely need to talk to your wife. Being "nice" does not make people feel humiliated. She needs to stop that. And if it is as frequent as you say, imo you should see a doctor. You may have a problem that is contributing to it that you would be better off knowing about.
That being said, I just had a mild episode myself this morning. Female. Never wet bed as a child. Have had maybe 3-4 times in the past 10 years. Always dreaming about going on the toilet, then wake up as I realize that I'm NOT on the toilet. I was camping the last time (about 3 yrs ago) and wet the sleeping bag pretty good. Pretty gross. Since then, I always make sure I go to the bathroom before bed and empty the bladder. This time was just a little before I realized and stopped, but my boyfriend had just left for work shortly before and all I could think was, "What if he was still in bed with me and I did that??". That's why I'm on here. Good to know it's not just me, but what to do about it?? :-(

I have had a cold now for about 3 weeks and have wet my bed from this dream every night! My bf has been caring and nice, but after the first week he told me I had to start wearing diapers to bed. I did cuz I knew if the situation was reversed I wouldn't want to get peed on. I am 24 and hadn't wet the bed since I was like 13, and I've never wet the bed even two nights in a row since I was a baby, so this is a first. I usually wake up about 2/3 of the way through between 3 and 5 AM, and I try to stop it but can't at that point. Then I change my diaper. I have woke up wet for a second time just a couple of times, otherwise, I'm dry in the morning.

Today, my hubby and I both had the day off work and do tomorrow too. Anyway, he woke me up with breakfast in bed. He asked if I had to change before I ate, and I said no I was dry and could change after I got out of bed. I had to go potty but waited. I ate, then I began to read the paper. Before long, I knew I was squirming a bit and doing a dance, but I just wanted to get through the paper. I kept sipping my coffee. I let a couple quick squirts out in my diaper, and I realized I better go right then. So I shot out of bed to go to the bathroom, but as I got up, a third surge came and I couldn't stop it. I ran to the potty and finished there, but probably let half my pee into my diaper. I couldn't believe I had been so childish, I started to cry and my hubby came in and got me in the shower. He was nice but was concerned.

We were going out to do a bit of shopping, so as I got dressed (and without him knowing) I put a diaper on instead of undies under my jeans. I was just so worried about an accident, but I was okay. I went potty once and was fine. So I changed out of it when we got home. Around 3 we took the dog for a walk, and 15 min in, I had to go potty. Once we were halfway done at 30 min, I knew I couldn't make it home, and I told him that. He tried to get us to the park in time, but we didn't get there and I full on peed my pants. I had to walk behind him and cry all the way home. On the way, he told me that maybe I should wear a diaper to his sister's tonight for dinner, he told me it wasn't my fault but that I was having control problems. I agreed and told him I had worn one earlier shopping but didn't use it. We were playing Wii at his sister's, and I waited too long and had to change. This is the worst day of my life! He is already expecting me in diapers for the next 3 days now :-(

Had this when I was a kid until about 13 pretty regularly. Then all of a sudden, it stopped. Might have been age or maybe nicotene as I had just started smoking or maybe cannibanoids as I just started puffing at the same time... don't know...
...
no problems for about 17 years... (I quit smoking cigs for almost a year with no reoccurences)
...
I'm in month 3 of my second cessation of smoking cigs...
(but I have been using e-cigs with mostly low nicotene... but some non nicotene cartridges).
...
3 occurrences in two weeks!
2 at home in my bed with a new gf!; 1 while visiting parents...

but it gets a little complicated because I'm in week 3 of really reduced ganja... and I didn't have any reoccurrences when I quit cigs for a year before...

THIS F'ING DREAM is killing me!!!!
It's so vivid. I'm staring down into the toilet and I'm really amazed at the volume! I'm pissing like a racehorse, so much that it's splashing up all over the place. It's soo strong that it's eroding a toilet soap before my eyes!
I wake up and realize that while the toilet wasn't real... the pissing was! :-) F'CK!!! I'm in a new relationship and the last two times I was able to blame the cat! e.g. 'That DAMN cat pissed on me in my sleep again... wtf!' My sweetie isn't that bright...or she's just really sweet. But I don't know how long I can keep blaming the cat! God forbid he dies! What will I do!?

I DON'T want to start smoking again! I don't mind getting baked more... but I feel a little bit old to be sitting around getting lit all the time.

My inventive side is trying to come up with something... I don't want to catheter myself every night...maybe one of those pocketvaginas with a camelsack coupled to it? or a sock over my junk with two wires that if the sock between them gets wet it completes a circuit to a vibrating or siren member.... to wake me up? --really don't want to be tasered on my member though.

It seems that I'm producing more urine more during the night... foggy, but I seem to remember getting up more during the night to pee.
I'm 31 - active, but chubby... maybe this is diabetes-related?
I've been told that I talk in my sleep quite a bit.
I've also been told that I may have sleep apnea by several different partners.

as this hadn't been a problem, I pretty much drink all the time, sometimes the diuretics... I'm going to see about laying off the mountain dew for a while... especially before bed.

I'm generally up at 7 - in bed at 12.

Don't think I'm allergic to anything...

Not taking ANY medication...

I regularly drink regular coke or mountain dew... and 1% milk.

I used to puff QUITE frequently from 13 to 30... but just not so much anymore.

I hope maybe we can all come together to figure out a common denominator between us to resolve immediately OR meet some cute freaky girl on here who likes golden showers in her sleep :-) haha

do any doctors give marijuana prescriptions to counter bed-wetting?

Any cute beddwetterettes with some ganj' near 21043 ? :-)

Same here... its good to know that someone else has the same experience...but why are the dreams?

38 y.o. F here. Wet the bed off and on as a kid and teen and once every few years as an adult, most often when drinking heavily.

"The dream" has for me evolved into a mad search for an acceptable toilet. In it, I can't find the restroom, I can't find a vacant toilet stall or the toilets are too high, too dirty or otherwise unacceptable.

Most often, the toilet search and heavy bladder clue me in to the fact that I have to wake up and pee. A lot of the time, though, I think of that in my dream and start shaking and pinching myself to wake up and convincing myself that I am up. Once I dreamed that I woke up to go and then woke up for real wet.

Almost always for the past several years awareness of the dream wakes me up before I have an accident. Interestingly, today I dreamed that I found the toilet and went profusely more than once, the last time wetting myself and the area around the toilet. Every time that I can remember I'd wet the bed during such a dream but today I just woke up dry and headed to the bathroom and didn't even have to go very badly.

The main thing for me in getting nighttime control has been recognizing the dream. I often drink a lot before bed but almost never have a problem getting up and relieving myself if I have to. The other thing, I think, that may have helped is that I don't run around sleep-deprived and crash when I do sleep like I used to. I think being badly in need of sleep makes it harder to get up. And I started drinking alchohol on weekends the past couple of years and only once didn't make it to the bathroom. Instead I got up and went on the floor next to the bed. I told my bed partner to be grateful, but he just thought it was hysterical. Still likes to laugh about it, and I think the shame will keep anything like that from ever happening again!
