Dreaming of a toilet: meaning in Korea
In Korea, the bathroom in a dream is a place of wealth and relief: a full toilet announces money, and a clean one, worries leaving.
What they say in Korea 화장실 꿈
Following the logic of the famous poop dream, kkumhaemong ties bathrooms and toilets to wealth. Seeing a full or overflowing toilet, unpleasant as it sounds, is said to announce money arriving in abundance. Using the bathroom with relief is read as letting go of worries and freeing yourself from something that weighed on you. A clean, bright bathroom is read as a tidy, calm chapter. If you cannot find a bathroom or it is occupied, the reading speaks of a need you keep postponing: rest, time for yourself or something you want to say. Fun fact: in Suwon there is a toilet museum, Haewoojae, built in the shape of a giant toilet.
