Bathrooms are places where our "excesses" are eliminated. We do our needs, take care of our hygiene, and, eventually, we get sick. In other words, it is in the bathroom that we obey the most basic calls of our human condition.

Dream interpretation helps in self-knowledge and decision making

The first step in interpreting a dream is to become familiar with the symbols it contains and their meanings. The second step is to know that dreams always concern the dreamer, the characteristics of his personality and the attitudes he adopts that should be observed. Once this is done, it is possible to use dreams as an important tool for self-knowledge and guidance in life.

On the other hand, it is also the place where we stand in front of the mirror and see ourselves in the most transparent way possible. Where we deal with our own nature, the rhythm of our functioning, and the needs of our body. A place in which we feel free and are spontaneous - qualities that, in a dream, may be compromised depending on the conditions of that bathroom .

In addition, the bathroom is a place of intimacy and privacy, although there are also public bathrooms. Thus, dreaming of a private bathroom or a public bathroom can tell us very different things. We can think, for example, of How is the dreamer's relationship with his own notion of intimacy and with the notion of what is public and collective.

First step: reflect on the context of the dream

What is this bathroom like? What happens in this scenario? Is it clean or dirty? Do you have walls and doors? Is there anything different or unexpected in this bathroom?

Second step: reflect on what the unconscious may be signaling

1. Do I expose myself in a very public and undifferentiated way?
2. Do I have a space of privacy and intimacy to be myself in my life?
3. Am I skilled at protecting my intimacy?

Possible applications

Dreams in which the bathroom used has no door and the walls are broken or made of glass This may indicate that there is inadequate exposure of the dreamer's intimate matters to the outside world.

Dirty bathrooms without partitions can also indicate the difficulty of having a private, intimate space to be more spontaneous.

Another common possibility is to dream that you are rushed to the bathroom This may indicate some interference with the dreamer's natural rhythms and the satisfaction of basic needs.
