Lavatory

The lavatory brings forward ideas about revealing feelings or letting go. Searching for a bathroom to relieve yourself can symbolize holding onto feelings that need to be released. Often when you have revealed yourself to others in an intimate way, you will dream of 'losing your privacy' by urinating or defecating where others are able to see you. See also Bath and Bathroom under Houses and Buildings.

In a dream, a toilet means relief from distress, satisfying one’s innate needs, a bathhouse, taking a ritual ablution, a place where one’s secrets are exposed, a place where one hides his money, a treasury, a coffer, a rest room, or a place to reflect. Washing the toilet’s floor in a dream means becoming poor. A flooded toilet in a dream means distress, pregnancy, or prosperity. To fall into a toilet in a dream means imprisonment. Pouring honey or milk into the toilet bowl, or urinating blood in a dream means sodomizing. Looking into the toilet bowl and findingblood in it in a dream implies that one engages in the forbidden sexual intercourse with his wife during her menstrual period. A toilet in a dream also represents a guard.
