Bed-wetting.
I don’t know if girls wet their beds when they were young, but I’m very sure boys did when they were just a toddler; and this is only because I’m a boy too and girls never tell me about their bed-wetting experiences, if any. Depressing.
And I’m quite sure that 80% of the bed-wetters had the same dream before committing their crimes. A dream that made them pee in their sleep — peeing in their dreams.
When you pee in your dreams, you usually pee in real life on your bed too. Your muscles relax and then you wet the bed. I don’t know about the medical explanation but at least that’s what I experienced and I know very well I’m not the only one! And seek comfort in that you’re not the only one too.
At any rate, according to the doctors and many others, when you’re sick, you need to drink lots of water to replenish body supply of water to get well faster. So while I’m sick, I drink lots of water just to replenish that supply that’s lost in oblivion. And I do mean alot — you have no idea. For starters, it’s like 1.5 litre of water in an hour or two; so much that I’m worried I’ll be suffering from hyponatremia soon.
Yup, when you input, you will get output — urine. I go to the toilet so frequently that my friends think I’m suffering from bladde deficiency — once hourly — and that’s when I’m awake. And maybe you guessed it right; I need the same routine when I’m asleep too, though not as regularly.
See, I have a 1.5 litre bottle of water at the side of my bed that is for me to drink when I wake up in the middle of the night feeling thirsty. This bottle serves especially good when I’m sick — I drink almost half the bottle every night. And it’s no wondering where all these water went to; through the stomach, then somewhere, then stored in the bladder ready to be released. When the amount increases to a very large amount, you have the urge to pee. Which it always does.
And I dreamt about the peeing. And very much to your disappointment, I did not wet my bed! Nyah-nyah, now you can’t call me a kid anymore because I don’t wet my bed no more. I’m so proud of myself. No more calling me a kid or boy! Now I’m a man. In fact I was rather worried I did when I woke. LOL.
Okay it’s no amazing feat but I was rather amazed bed-wetting didn’t happened anyway. Kudos to myself for that.
And till today, I still can’t explain why whenever I need to pee while I’m asleep, I almost certainly will dream of peeing in my dream! Perhaps it’s because some parts of your brain cells that are still awake are keeping the muscles clenched so you don’t wet your bed, but when you dream of the dreaded, it releases the muscles and that’s when the evil happens — bed-wetting.
So do girls wet their beds too? I’m quite sure they did if they had a brain, a bladder and then some water to drink along before going to bed, but I could be wrong.
