WHAT IT MEANS: The meaning depends on how you experience it. Does the dream scare you? You probably feel insecure about your life, and you fear the unknown.

You can’t find a toilet when you need one

THE DREAM: You have to go really badly, but you can’t find a toilet anywhere, or the toilets you can find are all out of order.

WHAT IT MEANS: Going to the bathroom is one of the most elemental needs of all animals, but in a dream it may mean something more emotional.

You may feel unable to express your feelings in your waking life, or something is blocking you from getting what you need.
