--Driven by the urgent need of my sleeping body, my dream self went on a weird quest.--
The main feeling of this dream was an incredible need to PEE. No matter where I was or what I was doing, it all came back to really needing to pee. I was in a plane station. Not an airport, but a plane station. The vehicles were planes, but other than that, everything about the scenery said, "Rural Wayside Train Station." It was operating, but run down and in the middle of nowhere, and lord, I had to pee. I found a shed that had a bathroom. I went in the shed and it was dark except for a tiny amount of sunlight filtering in through the cracks between the boards. It was light enough to see that the room was about 8X12 feet. It was also light enough to see that the entire room was thickly cobwebbed over by spiders. Walking through, I had to swipe, swipe, swipe just to make a path through the spider webs. I got to the toilet and looked down. It was a pipe in the ground that stuck up about 2 feet and was about 5 inches in diameter. Just an open pipe. I didn't want to use it and I turned to walk back out, but I remembered how much trouble it had been to get through the spider webs, and I really did have to go. I hovered over the pipe, and as one would expect, peed mostly on the ground and my feet, and some in the pipe.
Unfortunately, only dream Elizabeth was satisfied. Slumbering Elizabeth was still dying for a pee. So, dream Elizabeth quickly found herself again dying for a pee. This time, I came across a urinal-type bathroom. It looked a lot like a really shallow phone booth. The bottom part was as-you-would-expect but the top part was one of those spinning hot dog warmers like they have in the gas station. There would have been enough room for a man to fit in the space and urinate standing, but otherwise it was way too cramped. I did try to turn around and sit in the urinal, but I could feel the heat from the hot dog warmer on my back and it didn't feel safe (or hygienic).
The third bathroom was fine. It was weirdly open to the air (picture a bathroom "stall" with walls both low and high off the ground), but it had a normal toilet.
I think I woke up shortly after managing to use the acceptable toilet, and immediately went to use the reality toilet.
