Poop Dream Meaning

I once dreamed of overfilled toilets with poo all over the floor, yes it was shocking, but has a spiritual meaning other dream dictionaries can not tell you. 

What this dream has consistently told me, is that life may be messy right now. Almost everyone who emails me after this dream needs to shake something, a toxic relationship, a bad habit, a situation.

• Normal brown poop - the most common dream - I often find this dream comes when your life needs clearing. Not tidying, clearing. We all go through this in life, when our subconscious mind can no longer tolerate the people, the situations, the obligations that we use to. I don’t know if this just happens with age.  
• In my folklore books poop dreams are connected to our bodies, homes, and valuables. 
• Animal poop (e.g. cat or dog) - related to domestic relationships in ancient folklore this warns that a friend may cross or betray you.
• Loose stools/Diarrhea - overspending alert - time to budget more carefully. If you have spent too much money recently it is about making sure you are more careful.
• A bad smell - this suggests support from others in life
• Dirty toilet or bathroom full of poo - When you see toilets that are unsanitary, dirty or have poo or blood on the floor, it suggests you are worried about keeping your money. The state of a dirty bathroom in a dream is connected to financial gain or lack thereof, and the feeling of being private in waking life. The dirtier the bathroom the more likely financial gain.
• To poop in public in your dream indicates ancient dream lore that you are feeling exposed and vulnerable, open to new possibilities and removing negativity.
• Seeing a large amount of poop, maybe the floor or bathroom was covered in poo this is actually a lucky dream according to old supersitions in England.
• It you can't find a toilet in the dream this is telling you that you can't find something in life that is important right now.
• Seeing poop in a toilet in a dream may signify an issue that's fixing of that there is a problem with others that you do not wish to have any further involvement in. 
• Poo on walls to see the wall covered in poop shows financial problems in real life, you could have seen the walls of a prison, a toilet or even your own home. Overflowing urine in the bathroom suggests you need to connect with your inner self - seeing such a sight can be a bit worrying.
• Pooing your pants in a dream - indicates that there was something recently that shocked you.
   

What does the poo dream mean?

As I said above, a dream of poop represents clearing away the old due to you being under stress. When someone dreams about touching poop this usually means they fear getting lost in something difficult, or sticky if you will. When you come in contact with someone's excrement or poop, you have a guilty conscience or feel you are a dirty person.

To dream of poop means to be disgusted or filthy in one way or another, and there is a certain misperception about your inability to relax and unwind in your life. When poop is hard or you feel constipated in the dream, you may be blocked or held back in your creative endeavors, or you need more fiber. If you dream of being blocked, it is symbolic of having to release the accumulated emotion to free the needed energy for the situation. If you are freaking out because they have touched a toilet seat with poop on it, this is symbolic of the dreamer being obsessive-compulsive and fearing what they cannot control.

I have sat with this interpretation for fifteen years and it has never failed. In dreams the bathroom always represents something we can not control, something embarrassing us, something we are trying to hide from the world. And the poop never really stops. It is what you should most shame yourself about right now.

The crazy thing is we spend on average 6,000 hours of time on the toilet. At age 76 the average human produces 24,320 lbs of poo - which is the total weight of around three to four hippos. At some point, everyone will be asking questions like 'What is my purpose in life?', "Is there life after death?" this is a dream about getting rid of all that bad stuff, and dirty stuff out of life to release your real goal, and purpose in this world.

Future predictions after dreaming of poop - from the 1930s

• Seeing poo in the dream - you may find an up-and-coming work development or a meeting at work that will be of benefit, also wealth or money. Such a dream can also denote not feeling on top of a plan for a presentation or an important project. In my research it means you may feel lost or frustrated and cannot get on with a job. In welsh folklore dreams represent what we do to provide for our family and how much we have saved to pay the bills. It seems the world is becoming more materially wealthy, but less spiritually.
• If you can't flush the poop away - this means major fear change or that you are not able to accomplish a particular project to the end. This also represents the inability to let go of the hurt and guilt. 
• To dream of poop or that this is all over the floor can indicate that you are being controlled by the negativity around you.
• When you dream of playing with poop, this represents a time when money and financial issues will be taking over the dreamer’s waking life and it is time to get all of that handled as soon as possible.
• If you want to go for a poo in a dream, this is actually just showing us that we need to relieve ourselves (in real life), but most of the time; it has more of a spiritual or psychological meaning.
• To dream of actually "going" to the toilet indicates you need to review or restore a part of your life you have forgotten. Maybe your spiritual side? When you dream that you are a child who is pooping, this shows that the dreamer is going to go through a fascinating time of developing social structures as if they are childlike.
• When one is freaking out in the dream because they have touched a toilet seat, which had poop on it, this is symbolic that the dreamer is obsessive-compulsive and fears that which they cannot control. 
• To see a toilet overflow with poo can be quite a disturbing sight. 
• A dirty toilet signifies difficult people in life. There are hidden enemies that you are aware.
• Pooping in your bath indicates you are multidimensional it is also the place we clean ourselves.
