For me, they are directly related to the bodily sensation of having to go, but not finding relief because I am still asleep, not in my bathroom where my bladder wants me to be. So all the obstacles--the filthy bathrooms, the overflowing ones (like my bladder seems to be about to do in these dreams), the stalls with out doors, the stall doors that are stuck, or finding a toilet and sitting down only to discover it is just a mere chair, not a toilet, so it is useless--all of these are trying to solve the problem while still being asleep, having to go so badly, but also "knowing" I can't go in bed.
The dreams also speak to a problem I have while awake---since I can never be too far from a bathroom because my meds cause urinary urgency.
These dreams may seem a bit bizarre, and I guess the vivid imagery is due to the AD meds, as well, but if you think about it, they aren't such a big deal. The REAL problem dream would be the one where I DO find an adequate toilet!!
