What Causes Bed Wetting Accompanied By A Dream Of Doing So?
I am a 51 year old woman. Healthy. Whenever I drink a litre or 2 of fruit juice or fluids I have to use the toilet. I am also a light sleeper. I only have 4 to 5 hrs deep sleep daily. Two days ago I had a dream at 2:00 A.M. In the dream I was in the toilet & suddenly woke up to find my bed wet. This has happened to me some years ago at least in two or three occasions when I was dreaming of being in the toilet. Please advice how I can get rid of this problem.

This is symptom of overreactive bladder which is common of women your age and often embarrassing problem. If overreactive bladder affects your daily activities, don't hesitate to see your doctor. It is advisable to empty your bladder prior to sleep.
For most people, simple lifestyle changes or medical treatment can ease discomfort. It is treated with specific medications, pelvic floor muscles exercises, electric stimulation of bihevioral treatment and in most cases this is adequate for incontinence control.
Cystitis is another possible cause which is bacterial infection and it must be treated with antibiotics but before it you need to do urine analysis and urinoculture.
Surgical options are reserved for severe and intractable cases. I hope I have answered you query. If you have any further questions you can contact us in every time.
