My male shepherd did that a couple of times when he was a pup, but he had been sleeping would stand up and start peeing, I don't even know if he was fully awake and he quit while very young. Maybe you should keep him off the bed!

I'm surprised that nobody has yet mentioned that dogs are territorial in nature and use their pee to leave their scent - telling other dogs that this (object, person, territory) is MINE - Keep away!
He obviously sees you as his property (maybe even the bed but associates you with it as you sleep in it too) which is why he sat between you ... ie telling the other person this lady isn't yours, she's mine! And the pee reinforces this.
Dogs should not sleep on/in our beds and the more he's allowed to, the more difficult it will be to stop it later when it gets bigger so have a basket in the room by all means if you want and let it sleep in there but put it down when it jumps up on the bed. You should find this will also prevent the weeing on your bed too.
As you say, other than this, he's house trained but it's got nothing to do with that per se - it's the territory thing.
Anyway good luck.

He Is Trying To Mark His Territory Or He Could Be Jealous If Another Person Was On Your Bed Because He Wanted You All To Himself.

Simple, don't let your dog on your bed. You have lost the Alpha in your household. Quickest way to lose the Alpha is to give your dog the Alpha status, that is the most high place in the household and unfortunately it comes to the dinner table and the sleeping quarters.
Never be fooled, your dog is not. They will seek the Alpha because it is natural instinct in any pack, be it dog or human.
Your dog just marked your bed. Just let you know it is his bed.
Only excuse for this is an older and or incontinent and or sick dog. One that has no control.

Because it smells like you. He is marking your territory (By your, I mean you and the dogs) People who believe that dogs are doing this because you are not paying enough attention to them, and therefore the dog is lashing out are what a large majority of the population thinks to be true. While dogs are smart, it never actually occurs to the dog as a conscious act of "I'll show you!" They are not capable of it. Neither are cats.

well from what i know. his trying to show his dominance over you, for example when i got my dog she wee'd my mums bed a couple of time until i told her off and got her out of doing that, and when my my got her dog he he came to my bed and wee'd it. oh he did about two weeks ago, (BASTARD LOL).
best advice don't let them on the bed when ever they want to this show them that they are equal to you, if they want to get on the bed make them sit and wait until you let them get on it, i did this with my dogs at home and when they want to get on the bed they sit and howl until i let them get on it! i hope that helpful.

Read your replies - my god! - don't beat him - don't rub his nose in it! - take him out side to the area you want him to pee in, do this after he wakes up - after hes eaten or had a drink. Don't let him on the bed. He just needs to learn whats expected from him.
Also a pup/dog will go in the same area so your bed really needs a good clean if it smells his pee then he will go in that spot again! hope this helps.

You need to train your dog not to go on your bed. Everytime it jumps up there put it on the floor and tell it No.

cos you let him the first time it now has a smell that he likes and thats what makes him keep wanting to do it there.
I suggest you just not let him in the room anymore, or train him that it is not allowed to get on the bed, ever.
Now he does it, it will be very hard to make him stop, its his natural instinct.
