Bed Wetting and Dreams

Sometimes a bed wetting incident may occur whilst we are dreaming about urination.  A dream where the person has gone to the bathroom to urinate will sometimes result in bed wetting in reality.

Bed wetting and dreams can be quite common in children who will dream they are urinating only to find they have done so when they awake. While the suggestion that they need to pee is enough to influence dreams it is unable to be strong enough to wake the child in time to prevent bed wetting. Many children suffer from the inability to feel when their bladder is full whilst asleep and it is often a condition that they grow out of with time.

Bed wetting and dreams are linked but not in the way many people assume. Bed wetting does have an affect on your dreams and can produce a dream about water or the need to go to the bathroom. Unlike what many people assume, bedwetting and dreams are not a clear warning sign. Dreams will not increase the chances of the sleeper to wet the bed and is usually caused after the bed wetting incident has occurred. It is in fact not bed wetting and dreams that are a dominant factor of bed wetting causes but genetics that can determine if a child suffers from bed wetting. If a parent wet the bed as a child it becomes much more likely that their child will also wet the bed.
