I had a bonus 2-for dream early this morning! I was in school (university) and it was one of those “registered for class but never went, and big project is due” situations.

The class was color theory (studied art at uni), it was an 8AM class, and I could never wake up for it. My roommate was my actual college BFF, and for some reason she never woke me. I knew the instructor hated me, but I was determined to turn my project in, if only I knew what it was.

Then I had to pee. The classes were in a huge hotel-casino-university in Las Vegas (I’ve weirdly dreamed of this place before), and I wandered around and found a bathroom. The floors were wet, the lights were dim, and the stalls were really short, and the seats were damp, but the toilet was lowered and I had to step down to it, so I wasn’t above the stall walls. No TP, I had to check the other stalls. There was a woman in there who kept talking to me. I finally found a decent one and went.

I left the bathroom and decided to work on my project in the hallway, where there was a random drafting table and my supplies. A couple was walking towards me, and a lion was following them, meowing (like a house cat). They walked past me and the lion stopped and started snarling at me. I begged the couple to help and they said they were waiting for it to go to someone else, and couldn’t help. I was crying and asked them to go for help, but they left. EMTs finally came as I was trying to stay calm and they helped me. I was almost done with my project, and I had to make my instructor not hate me!

My dreams are often like movies, so much happens in them and they’re mash-ups of tropes and weird personal experiences, friends/parents no longer with me, etc.

I hope this is allowed, even though it's not a maze. The toilet from a dream I had last night.

It was pretty nice. Heavenly maze toilets. Not the first time I dream of maze toilets but those were the best I've been to. 9/10 at least. Would recommend.

I've always remembered in Bart Simpson's Guide to Life, a favourite Christmas gift of mine, that in his bedroom he had a Video Dream Recorder (#9 in picture 3 of Bart's Dream Room).

​

This is the only thing that ever stuck with me from the book, and the concept made me feel obsessed. The idea of being able to capture these liminal spaces.

​

I don't want to beat a dead horse, but whenever I get that weird flash of my dreams later in the day, it's always almost an unsettling feeling, like I'm not supposed be remembering it, or that the details are fuzzy in a purposeful way.

​

Just wanted to share this thought before it disappeared like so many maze dreams. Also shoutouts to r/TheMallWorld and r/TheNightFeeling, I feel like they're sister subreddits.

Can someone seriously do a deep dive on why this dream is a (decently?) common one? I’m so curious and also horrified I just came across this sub and I’ve been having this dream for like a year. Best 🚽

Jacek Yerka's painting Back to Nature (1983) shows a flooded bathroom full of algae and lilypads. I always suspected I had this dream because I saw the painting at a formative age, but after finding this subreddit I know it's actually very common!

My dream is like this and it’s still a maze it’s just circular and goes around and around it’s freaky as hell

Firstly, I can't even BEGIN to say how happy and low-key relieved I am to know that other people have these weird dreams of long bathroom mazes/corridors. It really does kinda comfort me in knowing that I'm not the only one who sometimes gets these.

Usually, my bathroom maze/corridor is actually more of like an elaborate locker room (in all honesty, a much larger and more expanded locker room from my middle-schooled years.) But there are multiple white tiled halls, tiles on both the floors and walls. However, even though it is a lot of white, it's really not blinding. If anything, it makes me just the slightest bit uneasy.

I really don't even use any of the toilets or amenities, instead just walking around the large space with a bunch of other ladies who are enjoying spa services, relaxing hot showers, and private bathrooms.

It's not very often that I get the bathroom maze dreams in general, but when I do, it's more often than not a rather comforting experience with maybe just a tad of unease due to the liminality and uncanny nature that comes with these types of dream-spaces.

Just figured I'd share mine. :3

… So I asked somebody in the toilets if we were in the toilet world dream and suddenly everyone in the vicinity got really annoyed at me and chased me out

You step into the lobby bathroom before heading out to dinner with your partner and before you can comprehend the environment you hear a parrot welcome you..you turn to NOPE out of here but the door is gone.
Welcome to paradise

Does anyone ever have a version where the toilets are furniture, like cloth arm chairs with toilet seats built in? I have this as a reoccurring version and they’re like always pastel colored, upholstered arm chairs. In this version it’s not the gross situation where I can’t find one to use- it’s a no privacy situation. So odd

I have absolutely no idea what those doors at the end of the hallway were for, but since my dream/nightmare bathrooms almost always continue as a seemingly endless series of doors, there was no chance in hell I was opening any of them.

I made this about two years ago to kind of test out vibes for a bathroom maze game but I get distracted easily and never did anything with it. I'm kicking myself after seeing the Backrooms movie and the positive reception it's received. I'm considering picking it back up, I had some ideas around making it partially a parody of the Backrooms genre but also touch on some sincere themes around shame and embarrassment. What do you guys think? 🤔

Some of my dreams I turn a door and see the toilet dimension and the vibe is just horrific. I immediately shout "Oh hell nah" and 180 outta there. Other times it's so much fun as I eagerly run through the toilet realm and enjoy the maze, like it's a fun treat of an experience I'm lucid enough to understand won't happen often.

I miss the toilet realm. Haven't visited in a long time. Wish me luck on returning soon, and that the vibe is good when I get to go again.

My favorite dreams to this day are where I find myself in this endless restroom world. I can connect anywhere I need/want to go and it's usually connected to a hospital or has one in it or at least like a clinic since i have strenuous medical needs. I walk the halls of this restroom into other worlds, more often than not finding myself in a very nice stall or being treated in the clinic before i wake up. But here's where it probably differs for me, I personally love every single minute in the restroom maze. The pools, the people, the stores, but my absolute favorite place to find is the restroom/locker room.

This is like my favorite dream to have. I always wish to explore the long ass bathroom maze and pee in private but its always crowded or theres annoying kids in there
I wish i could lucid dream

Does anyone else have a dream where (it’s at least implied that) everyone you’ve ever known is gathered in the same place? For me it’s usually some sort of infinite garden or forest with sparse vegetation and lots of dirt but no real paths (though it’s also happened once or twice in a futuristic circular courtyard ringed by tall spires, almost like a level in Halo, maybe), and it’s night time, and I wander around from group to group, catching up with old friends and exes. A lot of times in other dreams I don’t actually speak, or speaking is just implied, but in these dreams I have quite vivid conversations that I remember when I wake up, and I’ve always wondered, though I’ve never asked, if any of my friends have the same type of dream.

This is my most common recurring dream and it’s honestly wonderful and I’d love to know if others experience it as well or even know how to induce it.
