Last night I dreamt I was squat/standing in a shallow pool and having a difficult time with a bowel movement. It's an oddity as constipatory issues have never been my problem. In the dream I could feel a weighty stool in the form of a long, thick turd dangling from the hole of my buttocks. It was unpleasant, how you might expect a dangling turd to be. Try as I might, I was unable to further its exit strategy by the usual and natural processes performed by the pushings of the sphincter. Afraid of being detected, I reached around and took hold of the turd and began to pull. It did not squish apart in my hand nor did it budge. I pulled harder and harder until finally it dislodged but it was like I had one of those mouth coil props in my rectum filled with poop instead of colored cloths. I had to use both hands and pulled frantically until all around me were long ropes of poop. The dream kind of faded out like that. No real ending or resolution.
I woke up and I hadn't shit the bed. Whew. Can you imagine the fallout from that?
Anyhoo, there's a lot to read about poop dreams. Poop in hands, poop on the floor, cleaning up poop, you name it. The common theme is how these dreams show an inability to let go, a build up of negative thoughts, behaviors and urges, a need to release aspects of your past; embarrassed or self-conscious, a need for privacy, and a need for more social awareness. Hmmm. I kinda think it has more to do with a GI visit scheduled for today.
