What does it mean to dream about restroom?

Searching for a restroom, failing to find one, or the act of urinating in a dream is one of the most common anxious plots, usually not about physiology at all.

Urinating in a dream is, according to one omen, a sign of relief or, like other 'shameful' bodily images, money; searching for a restroom and not finding one points to anxiety about not having time to take care of oneself. A restroom in a dream is an image of a space where a person is left alone with what they usually hide from others. An agonizing search for a toilet, inability to find privacy, overflowing or broken stalls — a frequent plot reflecting not a physiological need, but a lack of personal space or the right to take care of oneself without asking, without shame, without anyone seeing.
