Dream Interpretation Urine, urinating
Excrement and other human waste products are a symbol of relief, of letting go and setting oneself free. When you dream about urinating, it may be an actual need to relieve yourself. If not, then it is a sign that you want to rid yourself of a difficult situation.

urine therapy (amaroli, auto-urine-therapy, shivambu kalpa, uropathy): Subject of The Water of Life (1937), by English urine therapist John W.

Urine therapy refers to any method for maintaining or improving health characterized by the external or internal application of an individual's urine to that individual. Forms of urine therapy include applying urine to the skin (e.g., by massage or clay packs), ingesting it, injecting it (e.g., urine enemas), and snuffing it. Some proponents describe human urine as a divine nectar, a nectar of immortality, or a God-given panacea.

47. Seven are the causes of the diseases in the body. Sleeping during the daytime is the first, late vigils overnight is the second, excess of sexual intercourse the third, moving amidst crowds the fourth. The fifth cause is the effect of unwholesome food. The sixth is the checking of the discharge of urine and faeces. The seventh is the laborious mental operation with Prana.

Urination
Elimination of body waste is a task that we often prefer not to share with others. We either feel that our privacy is being invaded, or that another is forcing themselves on us. This often reflects not only the base nature of the act, but also the genital exposure that accompanies it.
 
A 25-year-old student reports dreaming: I am sitting in my flat. One of my instructors enters and urinates in my kitchen. He makes it a point to expose himself to me prior to leaving. Not surprisingly, this student felt as though the instructor violated not just his free time, but also his person.
 
Upon further questioning, the student revealed feelings of underlying aggression, as well. The student feared the teacher could wilfully affront the student for little cause, simply by "pissing on" a term paper with an unwarranted "D" grade, for example. The message of the dream seems to include a sense that the student felt powerless to prevent the intrusion.
 
Urination is a symbol for territorial disputes. It is also a signal of dominance.
 
Who is taking part in this activity in your dream? Where is it occurring and why? If someone other than yourself is doing the urinating, do you confront them, keep quiet, or escape?
