For some reason, I’m able to recall some of my dreams including those from my childhood. One recurring theme throughout these dreams was the presence of backed-up toilets. Let me explain. In these dreams, I would find myself desperately searching for a restroom, only to discover that every toilet I encountered was clogged with menstrual blood, feces, and urine. They were some of the most revolting toilets I’ve ever seen. I would move from stall to stall, growing more frustrated with each attempt, but no matter what, I couldn’t find a clean toilet where I could relieve myself.
If I had that one dream only once then that would be the end of it. But these backed-up toilets have appeared in my dreams more than 10 times—10 different nights. When something keeps recurring like that, it feels like it might be trying to tell me something. I looked it up online, and I found a few interpretations. Apparently, dreaming about clogged toilets can mean:
- It might symbolize feeling like I can’t release emotions or situations that are weighing me down.
- It could also be tied to physical concerns, like issues with menstrual health or digestion.
- It might represent feelings of vulnerability, shame, or a lack of control over my life.
- Or it could suggest there’s something emotionally or psychologically that I need to “clear out,” but I’m struggling to do so.
