What does this dream mean?

Question

I am showering (or urinating) and suddenly realize that people can see me.

Answer 1

you're self conscious and you're stressing out about some upcoming event, you're questioning yourself because of this.

Answer 2

…..These are images of having something you wanted to be private and personal exposed to others. While not every dream has some kind of hidden meaning, your dream suggests things that may have been on your mind lately.

To understand how this works, it’s helpful to keep in mind why and how you dream. When you sleep, your body and perception systems are shut down, but your brain stem continues to fire. The cortex is only minimally active. The content that has been most active in your brain during waking hours—perceptions, experiences, thoughts and feelings, processed consciously or unconsciously—are still “peaked” and they associate with other images already stored in your cortex.

In other words, the brain references this content, but not in a rational way, not using input from the external real world as in waking hours. So the story connectedness isn’t like everyday experience, but rather a strange flow from one image to the next. Therefore, dreams aren’t magical messages to guide your life, but sequences of associated images taken from everyday experiences - thoughts and feelings that matter a lot to you during your waking life.

Perhaps there are certain personal things in your life that you've been trying to keep private, but you've been having concerns that someone may find out. If so, these concerns would have been active when you went to sleep and associated with the images in your dream.

Answer 3

According to the activation-synthesis theory of dreams, the dream probably has no meaning at all. (Sorry, that may not be what you wanted to hear.)

Although dreams are influenced by our thoughts throughout the course of the day, this does not mean they are special messages to us that we should carefully consider.

Here's one perspective:

"Activation Synthesis Theory is a neurobiological theory of dreams, put forward by James Allan Hobson and Robert McCarley in 1977, which states that dreams are a random event caused by firing of neurons in the brain. This random firing sends signals to the body's motor systems, but because of a paralysis that occurs during REM sleep, the brain is faced with a paradox. It synthesizes a narrative by drawing on memory systems in an attempt to make sense of what it has experienced."

Answer 4

Not every dream means something .Sometimes they are just random thoughts that make up our dreams. Some dreams do have meaning and other times our dreams reflect our troubles and also our need to resolve things.

You might of had indigestion.

You might also feel like you arn't living up to standards and you fear the everyone knows it.

Answer 5

dreaming of showering usually means cleansing irritations or emotions that cloud ones inner life. i'm not sure about the watching part, but I agree with the others - it's probably something that has been torturing you internally and now has become public.

Answer 6

I suppose, after the other answers on here, that if I say it means you're a closet exhibitionist that I'll get booed?

Answer 7

LOL, that was funny. I wouldn't think much of it. Dreams are a mixture of reality and your inner conscious. It's just a dream....zzzzzzzz.
