Busy Restrooms

I had a couple strange dreams last week that I recall but hadn't gotten to posting. Both were because I had to pee a little except I was fast asleep. In the first dream, I was at a school, possibly the high school I went to or maybe even the elementary school I attended. Anyway I walked in & it was pitch dark & I could not see anything. I felt along a wall as I walked. I was looking for someone specific. I had to go to the bathroom and somehow came to what I knew was a ladies' room. I went inside. Still very dark, but I heard voices talking. A projector was turned on. There were lots of people sitting and standing facing the wall opposite the stalls, where all the sinks were. Everyone was getting ready to watch a movie or TV show. I walked back out & felt along the wall until I eventually found another ladies' room and went inside. Again more voices. This time I found the light switch & turned on the light. It got very bright and I saw lots of people. Many were sitting in lawn chairs in front of the stalls, others were standing behind those who were seated crowded but not packed into the stalls behind the seated people. Again they were all facing the wall where the sinks were. Again they were all getting ready to watch something from a projector. People yelled at me to turn the light off. As I turned the light off I told them I had to go to the bathroom. Some people cleared out a stall for me, but I could not go with all those people in the room. Even though by that time someone had turned on the projector & everyone had begun watching the show.

I left and continued feeling my way in the dark, abandoning the idea of going to the bathroom and concentrating on finding whoever I was there to meet when I woke up.

The second dream I had the next night was that I was in a park. I had just watched something entertaining. I have no idea what it was but I was there with A & GH and . They both folded the lawn chairs they had been sitting in and gathered up a bunch more stuff. I gathered up a couple things of mine and picked up some umbrellas. One was mine, the rest belonged to A & G. G tried reaching for theirs, but both of their arms were full of stuff. I offered to carry the umbrellas, but I told them I had to get to a ladies room first, then I would meet them at their car to hand off the umbrellas. They agreed. I went to a shelter that was specifically a mens' & ladies' room, just like a rest area.

I went into the ladies' room. There was a row of about a dozen or so stalls. Every one of them had someone in it and there were a few dozen women & children lined up waiting to use the stalls. This was not first in line first to use first available stall like usual, though. People were lined up at each stall and along the wall. I kept walking, rounded a corner and was met with same thing: a dozen + stalls, women & children waiting to use them. I kept walking, went through a door and ended up with the same problem. Rounded another corner, same thing. Except that was the end of line, so to speak.

I turned around and went back through each "room" hoping to find that things had sped along and there was an available stall. No such luck. I did not have to go very badly, hardly at all, so I went outside where jebra was waiting, with arms still loaded with stuff. For a reason I don't know, I was adamant about going to the bathroom rather than wait even though afterwards I was headed to the house of whoever was hosting a party that day & I could wait & more easily use their bathroom. But, somehow, it became a major issue for me.

So, instead, I told jebra there was a line & to let AG know I would be along shortly. He headed towards their car. I went back inside but still far too many women & children waiting to use the toilets.

Finally I just walked up to a stall as a woman exited and asked for some toilet paper. She said there was none left. I went to the next stall, same thing. In the third stall there was a little toilet paper left. The woman next in line started getting angry at the thought I was cutting in line. I grabbed a couple squares of tp and angrily told her that it was utterly ridiculous that it was taking so effing long just to use an effing toilet. I lied & said I had to go too frigging badly to wait & that I was just going to pee in a frigging corner of the frigging bathroom & I did not care what anyone thought.

Thankfully I woke up just then. And went to the bathroom even though I did not have to go very badly. sheesh.
