Interpretation of Urination and Defecation in Dreams:

Seeing urination and defecation in a dream symbolizes relief, ease, and blessings. If a person dreams of excessive urination or defecation, or finds it on their body with an unbearable stench, or they are seen in such a condition by others while being a respectable individual not prone to public indecency, this dream indicates misfortune and disgrace. Such scenes are naturally repelling to people.

Imam Shihab al-Din Qarafi stated that the interpretation of urination is lighter than that of defecation. Some people urinate on pathways without hesitation, but only those entirely devoid of modesty engage in defecation there. The general rule in dream interpretation regarding urination and defecation is that they signify forbidden wealth.
