I wet the bed for the first time ever at 24, normal random occurence?
As stated in the title, I'm 24.
I was in and out of sleep this morning, my alarm had already gone off and I had hit snooze several times. Then I started dreaming and before I know it I was dreaming I was on the toilet, doing my business. Then I felt REAL wetness and woke up immediately to find myself actually peeing the bed! I was absolutely horrified and immediately pulled up the sheets and threw them in the washer.
Now I'm terrified this will happen again.
However, I also think it might be because last night I had three bowls of tuscan bean soup and 3/4 of a bottle of water before I went to sleep. I've never eaten more than two bowls, but I was being lazy and didn't want to store the rest or throw it away. I didn't go to the bathroom before bed so I might have doomed myself.
I also took four vitamins because I'd forgotten to take them earlier in the day. I'm not sure if any of them are a diuretic, but maybe it was the combination of everything?
Anyways, is this a pretty normal occurrence that happens to everybody at least once or do I have reason to be concerned?
Help?

I think that when connected to dreaming about needing to be and using a toilet in dreams, that its very possible to wet the bed. I have actually begun peeing the first couple drops when I wake from dreaming of seeking a toilet and using it. Usually in the dream, I will feel I have a full bladder and need to go badly. I don't recall having emptied my whole bladder in bed. I think my subconsious mind wakes me from the dream as soon as it senses I am releasing the muscles that hold the pee in. I wouldn't worry about this repeating any time soon unless you dream every night about going pee.
By the way, I haven't done this just once in life but I will guess at least a dozen times and I am in my late fifties. Once your subconscious mind is aware that the next time you feel like needing to dream of the bathroom, that its best to wake you up in time, it probably will. The subconscious mind is what runs things in the body while you are asleep and also what keeps track of anything in your surroundings changing so you can wake if something is wrong.
To explain, heres a true story. My husbands daughter came to visit us one weekend and we had only one bed so when he woke in the morning, she said she'd slept bad on the couch so he said since he was up she should just go crawl into his side of the bed. I was unaware, being asleep thru this. My husband has long hair while his daughter has short hair and he is hairy. In my sleep, without consciously being aware, my hand reached out to touch his upperback, shoulders, or hair. The next thing I knew is waking in a panick with the only thought in my head that something was wrong because the shoulder was hairless and the head hair was short. My subconscious mind woke me because what I knew to be normal and to expect, even in my sleep, was different. So just talk to your subconsious as if it was another person inside you and tell it to wake you up the next time you need to pee while sleeping and to wake you before you get to the point of dreaming of sitting on a toilet.
