Dreaming of Holding in Your Poop - dream meaning with inherited lore
Traditionally, this may be read as holding on to an opportunity or gain, or it may reflect putting off something urgent in real life.
You need to use the bathroom, but circumstances keep you from going, so you hold it in. Your stomach tightens, and you feel anxious or uneasy about being found out.
Korean lore: In traditional folk dream interpretation, bodily waste is linked to the flow of money, so holding in feces may be seen as refusing to let go of a gain or opportunity that has come your way. But if the discomfort of the dream stayed with you more, it may help to look at that feeling too. (This interpretation draws on the folk tradition of linking feces in dreams with money or gain.)
Through the mind: A scene like this may appear when you’ve been putting off an urgent need or something you want to say. Thinking about whose opinion you were watching while you held it in may offer a clue to what’s weighing on you now.
Fortune angle: Traditionally, this has sometimes been interpreted as holding on to money or an opportunity. It can’t be taken as a definite prediction of income or results.
