Stool Dream Meaning

Ok, this could be poop or a stool that you sit on. I have been a medium for 30 years and I am going to go over both dreams here. I want you to know that seeing a poop in the toilet is a super common dream. A single... big fat poop is not the nicest dream. Urgh… I know. Yes, I am going to cover both stool (types) here.

So maybe this is a silly topic but lots of people have dreams about stools and no one asks what they mean. If you just saw a stool in the toilet (maybe you been watching too many instagram prank videos) this means something spiritual. If you go into the toilet in your dream and see a big poop this can mean something big is coming in your life. So, going back to the other meaning a stool you sit on - a bar stool or a kitchen stool. And then there is the other stool - poop - which doctors call it. Both types of dreams have meanings so dive in!

What does it mean to dream of a stool poop?

Stool dreams come in two varieties - all about your place in life and what you need to let go of to move forward. Essentially, a sitting stool represents where you are now and how secure you feel in that position. Uncertainty and insecurity are associated with a wobbly stool; a sturdy one means you've found your balance even if the seat isn't quite comfortable. Poop dreams mean somethign totally different, this indicates...getting rid of emotional waste so better things can come into your life.

These are gross and embarrassing thigns that sometimes drift in our lifes - but are actually good signs your brain is doing some cleanup work while you sleep. I don’t want you to be embarrassed about either type of dream - your sleeping mind is trying to help you understand yourself better and process what just happened to you. Attention to the fine details - you may learn something useful about what needs to shift in your waking life to make things better.

Cleaning up poop in a dream means you're responsible for removing waste and mess even when it's unpleasant. It could be your own emotional state right now - that you're finally putting together after ignoring it for too long, or someone else's problems that somehow became your job to fix. 

Either way, you do the unglamorous work that has to be done and that's pretty admirable - even if nobody thanks you. In the dream you were cleaning up after a baby or a pet - now you might be helping someone who can no longer look after themselves but who needs you completely. It all comes with love and nurturing, even when things are not nice or fun. The dream is to know that you sacrifice something for people who depend on you and have nothing to give in return yet.

What does it mean to go to the toilet then see a stool in a dream?

For me, this means you have had something has been brewing inside of you emotionally and it has to come out before it gets out there and it gets out there. So maybe you have been clinging to anger, sadness or worry too long and your body is ready to let it go and you feel lighter. In a way this is a good dream because it means the release is happening even if you do not feel it in your real life yet. Remember how it felt in the dream because those feelings matter a lot. So that was a relief when you got there? Do you feel lighter, better after it was over - like a weight was lifted? Just like you will when you let go of whatever emotional baggage has been weighing you down and making life harder than it needs to be. Your brain is showing you the good outcome to make you do the letting go.

What does no toilet in a dream mean?

In the dream there was no toilet or all the toilets were blocked or disgustingly dirty, you might be having trouble releasing stuff in real life. Something keeps you from letting go and moving on - find out what that block is. Are you clinging to things because you are scared of what happens next? Are there people or things around you that make it hard to process your feelings and move forward? If you pooped somewhere inappropriately in the dream like in public or in some weird place where you shouldn't be doing that, you may be afraid that people will see your messy side. Everyone has stuff to release and process but you might feel like you have to cloak your pain from people and pretend everything is fine when it isn't.

What does it mean to dream of the poop (stool) everywhere?

If the poo was everywhere and it felt like you could not get out, you might be feeling like your life got really messy recently and you don't know how to correct it. Problems have built up and you are stuck and disgusted with everything. The dream is good though - it makes you face the mess so you can start dealing with it piece by piece instead of pretending it isn't there. But if the poop was in one place (like in the loo) and not that bad really, then the problem in your life is manageable and nothing to panic about. Something needs clearing out but it is not as big a job as you thought and you can handle it.

What does it mean to step on a stool in a dream?

It is annoying to step in poop in real life and in dreams too, but has a pretty interesting meaning if you think about it.
Stepping in poop in a dream means getting involved in someone else's mess. Their problems and drama are following you around when you did nothing to create it and it isn't your fault. Think about which rubbish you are carrying now in your waking life. Are you sweeping up after someone who should be doing their own cleanup? Do you get dragged into arguments about nothing?

What does it mean to dream of a stool you sit on?

It depends on where you are in life and how stable you are right now if you are dreaming of a sitting stool. Now picture what a stool is. But it is a seat - not a proper chair with back and arms to lean on. There is usually nothing on most stools to hold you up and some are wobbly with just three legs supporting them. Sitting on a stool you have to balance and watch out because you can slip off if you don't pay attention or lean too far in one direction.

So if a stool shows up in your dream it might be asking how secure you feel right now. Are you in a place in life where you feel a little wobbly and uncertain? Also notice the size - was it big? Was it small? It could point to the fact that you may have a new job and don't know whether you'll keep it or maybe a relationship is rocky and you don't know where you stand with someone. The stool shows you sitting somewhere without being completely safe. Stool type also helps a lot. Tall bar stool means you want to be higher up in life but you feel a little unsafe up there where everyone can see you. 

Maybe a little wooden stool represents beginnings or feeling like you're not getting the support you deserve from people around you. A piano stool might be related to creativity and whether you're letting yourself sit down and make things. If the stool in your dream was sturdy and you felt safe sitting on it that's a good thing. That tells you you're in balance even if your position isn't perfect or comfortable. But if the stool was rickety and you kept falling off no matter what you did try to hold yourself on, you might need more stability in your waking life before you hurt yourself.

But what happens if the stool breaks in your dream?

I feel your brain is dreaming of the stool to warn you that something isn't quite as reliable as you thought it was. Perhaps something or someone has been supporting you poorly when you need them most. It can be the job that looks secure but isn't - or it could be a friendship that looks good on paper but isn't going to hold when you need it the most. Breaking stool says look at what you're putting your weight on before it collapses and you fall to the floor.

I also think that you may have this dream also if you put too much pressure on one area of your life and not enough on others. You get the best stool action if you spread your weight evenly across the seat and if you lean too far in one direction you topple over sideways. 

Is work taking precedence over family? Are you giving it all to one person and not taking care of yourself? Breaking stool says you are off balance and something needs to change. If you did fall when the stool broke, imagine how you felt on the ground. Were you hurt or just embarrassed? Did anyone see you fall or fall with you, were they helpful - or did they laugh? The bar stool I think is about how we navigate in our life. These little details say a lot about how you'd fare if something you rely on actually let you down in real life.

And this dream may also be about you getting yourself into a bad situation without knowing it was bad for you. You were just walking by yourself and now you're dealing with something unpleasant that you can not shake. The dream is telling you to be careful about where you step in life and who you meet. If you got the poop off easily in the dream, you should get through this sticky situation without too much trouble or lasting damage. But if that poo would not come off no matter what you did or it got everywhere and was worse than you expected, the problem might take more work than you want and you need to be patient.
