Symbol
Defecate
Ibn Sirin
In traditional interpretation, excrement primarily signifies wealth, though its context alters the meaning. Passing solid waste suggests spending on health, while public defecation warns of scandal or harsh speech. Involuntary release followed by cleaning indicates earned income, whereas defecating in bed points to marital separation. The substance also represents hidden secrets, travel, and even honey, with its odor reflecting fines or religious duties. Walking away from the toilet after cleansing implies escaping troubles, while falling into sewers suggests imprisonment or legal entanglement.
Psychological view
Dreaming of defecation often reflects the mind's process of eliminating emotional or mental clutter. It symbolizes the release of burdens, worries, or outdated beliefs that no longer serve a purpose. The act can represent a necessary purification, allowing the dreamer to move forward with clarity and lightness. Depending on the setting, it may also highlight concerns about social judgment or personal integrity.
