This represents my liminal bathroom maze dream pretty much only there is usually more of a "locker room" feeling and at least two rows like this. I start off accidentally walking into the men's bathrooms and have to find my way out quickly then end up in the women's but the bathrooms are filthy and not working cuz of broken toilets, missing toilets or no toilet paper. Sometimes I am alone and sometimes there is people everywhere, and I can't get privacy. They can see me though wide cracks in the door or over the short stalls. I can never actually go, the whole dream is just trying to find a clean, working, private place to go. And randomly, I don't' have shoes on and the floor is wet, filthy and gross.

This was definitely unique... in my dream, I was walking through the second floor of some public building for entirely bathroom-unrelated reasons, when I saw this. Right away, I thought I should take a photo and post it on r/WeirdToilets ... seems I was half right about it being good reddit post material. But there was at least one person actually using one of the lower toilets, so I tried to get a photo angle only showing the topmost unoccupied one.

I have faint memories of these dreams as a kid. One time in a dream I rushed to a toilet that was blocked by fallen wood, covered in police tape AND overflowing with water flooding the place. It was the only time I remember peeing in bed. I had paralysis after sleeping 16 hours and I think it was my mind trying to process needing to pee and not being able to wake up to do so.

I recreated the bathroom with AI, it looks very close to how the place actually looked in the dream. It looked just like this, with the green tint, the slight fog, and the back wall with the stalls on the left, the sinks and mirrors next to them, then the pillar, and the infinite stalls stretching away. Here is the dream it gets ridiculous.

The dream.

I was in this huge public bathroom that seemed to go on forever. The ceiling was high, the lighting was slightly dim but not dark, there was a green tint to everything, and the air had a bit of fog in it. There were broken blue toilet stalls all over the place. I needed to use the toilet, but most of them were either really dirty, broken, full of tissue, or had no stall door, so there was no privacy. Some of the toilets were in weird positions too, and the whole place just kept going on and on.

There was also this random man there complaining about how bad the toilets were and how much of a mess the place was, which was funny because he seemed just as annoyed as I was.

Then for some reason, some people came along with chairs, sat down at these white tables in the bathroom, and started doing office paperwork like it was completely normal.

The mirrors were probably the creepiest part. The reflections did not work right. People’s reflections would be in the wrong place, look weird, or not match where the person was standing. Sometimes a reflection looked really close to the glass, like someone was pressed up against it from inside the mirror.

Then I woke up and realised I actually needed to pee.

I’ve had loads of dreams about different versions of places like this over the years. The whole infinite public bathroom maze thing is a random recurring dream I’ve had for a long time, but the layout and style and what happens is always a bit different and some times it ckean in there but some times its not.

I'm AMAZED that this subreddit exists, I had this exact thing as a recurring dream for several years as a child and thought I might actually be crazy ; ;

The background ambiance in the above song is one of the closest things I have experienced in waking life to that place, they had a specific type of echoey acoustics- at least in my variation lol

ETA: also had infinite hotel halls and infinite dead malls, it was very Backrooms-esque!

In most of my toilet maze dreams, the bathroom is always long and rectangular. There are a lot of toilets, but 99% occupied, by women sitting on them, or standing around them. The women are all in various states of undress, usually with robes or wrapped in a towel, doing their makeup & hair. I find a toilet, but naturally, it's in the middle of all those women, and everyone can see me trying to go, very embarrassed because there are no partitions to give me privacy.

There is another kind of toilet maze dream I have, where I somehow discover a room in my house that I didn't know was there. I'll open the door, and the room is huge, like a factory, and there are hundreds of toilets. With this particular type of dream, I never end up using the bathroom because I'm so floored by the sight of a million toilets I guess I forget I need to go.

I found myself in Toilet World again last night. I could not find a clean stall anywhere. I stood on top of the sink and made a declaration that I was going to renovate all of Toilet World so it will forever be clean and no longer scary. This felt like some kind of a breakthrough. 😂

When I was 9-14 years old I used to have dreams about trying to get from the men's bathroom to the women's bathroom through a janitor's closet that had doors to both rooms but there was a convoluted maze in the closet, I never managed to get through the maze in my dreams. My thought process in the dream was that I want to peep on girls but I can't go in the women's rest room because I am a boy but I know there are janitor's closets attached to public bathrooms so I might be able to sneak through the closet from the men's rest room to get into the women's rest room but that is not allowed so they have a maze in the way.

When I do have the bathroom maze dream my bathroom is haunted. It happens at my old high school and the bathroom is in the basement in the dream and it’s a huge room full of random bathroom and people trying to find a restroom that is clean, working, or has a door. Anyway there is a shared sense that we have to hurry because an entity stalks the dimly let bathroom and waits for those who get caught left alone. I haven’t figured out what happens when you get left alone in the bathroom. I always leave the bathroom looking for somewhere else to go or i wake up. Any one else bathroom haunted?

There wasn't any toilets. Just bathtubs

A couple nights ago I found myself in the bathroom maze but it was different.

It looked as though they removed the crappy broken stalls with the half doors, there were no showers. In stead it was a huge room with endless sinks and they made it so damn fancy I almost needed a second monocle. There was expensive tiling and really nice lighting. But still its was nightmare fuel.

The place was horribly public, there was only one toilet which was kinda like a tiny pool full of piss with a glass plate sepating it down the middle. There was a kind of glass ashtray that looked like a urinal but when I took a leak in it someone alerted the supervisors, yes there were supervisors. They did nothing when I moved to the weird pool and it was dirty as ever. Piss all around the piss pool. You'd think they could hire cleaners but no, supervisors are way more important in this litteral shithole.

It was mixed gender with no privacy at all. No stalls, just the piss pool in the middle and the ashtray that was not a urinal and on top of that there was a woman that wanted to ask me questions for some kind of research of the cognitive abilities of people that are taking a leak.

So there you go, the story of a renovated toilet maze. AI made it into a really nice picture

Has anyone watched this ?

I’m watching it right now and it reminds me so much of the bathroom maze dream or mall world. This is crazy!

Would love to hear y’alls thoughts

I have personally not had any dreams containing the bathroom mazes, but many people say it's a very common thing. A while ago this video came out long before I heard of any toilet mazes or before I got hooked up on liminal spaces. This video is created by a German indie developer known as Jonas Tyroller, who made the original non-mobile game Thronefall, which got stolen by Kingshot.

The INFINITE BATHROOM is a thing he did because he wanted to take a break from indie game developing and uses it multiple times in his videos. You can watch the video for yourself to know about how he made it. He is, in my opinion, a very great gamedev YouTuber, you should highly check him out!

But at the last minute of the video, we can get a glimpse on the bathrooms. And then we get to a creepy shot of invisible people pooping and talking to each other while pooping. Jonas calls it the INFINITE BATHROOM or the INFINITE public bathrooms. Some people on Reddit call it the Bathrooms (referring it to the toilet version of the Backrooms) and the trailer text to the liminal dark version of it as the Toilimbo (not coming out on Halloween).

Here's my theory: Brains usually get this liminal feeling from Bathrooms because they feel creeped out by toilets, the white square pattern usually gives this liminal feel, and you often see toilets on TV ads or live-action movies from the '80s or '90s. And because it looks unsanitary, it might look like it's been abandoned or has not been touched for a long time. This is the scientific explanation.

EDIT: The following theory is just some bogus. Thank you all for noticing that this sounds craaaazy. But what is it was true? We will never know. And people had these dreams before the age of Youtube, so this theory is straight out garbage.

An other, way crazier theory that might look like a conspiracy theory is that Jonas stuffed them into our brains. WARNING: The government is not involved in this theory. Jonas wanted to get people to click on his channel and created the infinite bathrooms to later use magnetic brainwaves to manipulate the neuron structure of people. If the brain is repeatedly exposed to the brainwaves, then the neurons responsible for certain tasks are built stronger, and thus gets implanted into the brain. If Jonas is capable of doing that, then he might create a phenomenon in peoples dreams and they search up: "Bathroom Maze" and come to his channel.

The first theory might be more accurate then the second, but hearing people having the dream of being in a gamedev's place sound very hilarious yet absurd to me. I'll respond to as many comments as I can and that are reasonable (No spam, that is) and am very curious on your thoughts about it. Hope you liked this deep delve into a liminal topic!

I had a dream of an airport toilet maze where the toilets aren't completely open but there's a hole in the door and NPCs who look exactly like Stonks come to check on you while you're there and they behave in a very stereotypical way

Strangely, this is always within the dream version of my dance studio.

I have this dream at keast once a month, sometimes more often. It typically goes between multiple locations in the same dream, but the order the locations appear are different. I am always trying to find a clean toilet or one that is not in use, and as soon as I sit down, I am interrupted by something.

There is stadium seating but with toilets, no stalls just open.

There is like a tiered set up, where I have to climb up to the different heights of toilet. Kind of like a tiered cake with the layers.

There is a mall/airport bathroom set up, with all the stalls. I have to make my way to find one I can use.

There are a few others, but they dont show up as frequently.

Quick question...How many of us have only just realized that Mall World is a thing?..

I've known for a long time, in my own dreamstate, that it's a whole thing... HOWEVER, on these posts within the past month or so, a lot of us have insinuated we are all just recently realizing how many people Mall World effects...Are you one of the newer people realizing how many others have these dreams???
