Had my first stolma dream. I was taking my bag off and my stolma fell off like a baby’s belly button. Kind of weird. Anyone else have stolma or bag dreams?

When I first got the stoma, I used to dream I was pregnant again and about to deliver, except it wasn't a baby but an over-full bag! That went away as I slowly realized I generally wasn't making any output at night and the anxiety dreams diminished.

Had another dream or nightmare. My stolma was spouting blood like a fire hose. Just a dream, just a dream.

I've had recurring dreams where I've had to change the bag in a public toilet full of people with no doors on the cubicles! Probably just a fear of being "seen" perhaps.
The toilet facilities are always in a disgusting state too, a bit like the "worst toilet in scotland"* scene from "Trainspotting" - but then again perhaps I just watch too many movies/television before hitting the sack (and often happens when I've eaten pizza or spicy food late in the evening - guaranteed psychedelic dreams!)
*warning* as the following maybe a wee bit too graphic for some!
