Weird Dreams

I have some very strange fears. I know they are strange, and I accept them. For instance, I am afraid of monsters under my bed. I KNOW that it is an irrational fear. I KNOW that there are no monsters under the bed. My heart still beats fast whenever I get close to the bed, especially when the lights are off. I am also afraid of water. I mean REALLY afraid. I panic when water gets on my face. I take a shower with a dry towel nearby, so I can wipe any stray drops of water away. (Did you know you can drown in as little as a teaspoon of liquid? It's called a "dry drowning." Yeah, my dental hygienist told me that the other day when she was cleaning my teeth.) I am also afraid of stepping on wet carpet, and I am a HUGE germophobe. (No, I DO NOT have OCD!) The list goes on and on... My point (and I DO have one) is that I don't have nightmares about these things. I mean, these are my fears, but, when I have nightmares, I don't dream about monsters chasing me or being made to stand barefooted on a wet carpet that's crawling with germs. I haven't even dreamed of drowning since I was a kid! No, I dream about dirty bathrooms. At least once a week I dream that I am somewhere (The movies, a gas station, a resort, on a cruise ship, whatever. The scenery changes...), and I have to go to the bathroom. When I get there, the floor is always puddled up with mystery moisture (okay, so that IS on my list of fears...), and, no matter how many stalls there are, none of them is acceptable. One time I dreamed that I was in a huge school building, and I had to go tinkle really badly, and I kept going from bathroom to bathroom, from hallway to hallway, trying to find a toilet that wasn't putrid. I was watching other girls go into stalls and I thought, "Well, if she comes out okay, then I can go in there." There would be the sounds of flushing, dream girl would come out, and when I looked hopefully into the stall, ready to drop trou and let go, the toilet would be positively fetid. There are ALWAYS puddles on the floor, and I am always either barefoot or have on just socks or flip flops. Why can't I have on galoshes for once? The toilets always have poop floating around in them, or they are clogged with tampons or pee is all over the seat... And toilet paper doesn't exist in my nightmares. At least, not DRY toilet paper. The toilets are always overflowing with the stuff, but there is none to be found for cleaning away any of the foul contamination that lives in the bathrooms of my nightmares. These dreams are enough to keep me awake for the rest of the night after waking up. It is THAT disturbing! My question is this: Why do I keep having these dreams?!?!? I didn't have a fear of bathrooms before now, but I am developing one! Perhaps I should page through my catalog of irrational fears and update my records...
