Detailed Answer:
Hello and thanks for choosing HealthcareMagic for your query,
Have seen your details,
As per the query,
Most often dreams associated with trying urinate or defecate are a result of having a full bladder or rectum.Anxiety is generally the most likely cause of this.This anxiety could be there in subconscious mind also.Very likely anxiety was the cause of it.It also means that your subconscious mind is not at rest while you are in sleep.
I would suggest you to meet a pyschiatrist and get a prescription for some anti anxiety pills for few days to confirm your subconscious mind.
Hope I was helpful.

Thank you. That makes sense to me. I'm undergoing a lot of personal stress lately. I've had dreams of urinating that seem to go on forever but I usually wake up and rush to the bathroom on time. I would have thought I would have more control. I had no indication of any need to use the rest room prior to sleep. This was similar to a wet dream but of a fecal nature. Is this the beginning of inconstinance? Should I wait for another episode to rule out an isolated incident before consulting with a pyschiatrist? Thx!

Hello again,
Very likely it's not incontinence because it occurs only when you sleep. Seepage in case of fecal incontinence would be there even if you are awake.
Very likely it's related to stress and anxiety. I would suggest you to to try over the counter natural anti-anxiety product lactium. However even if after taking it episodes repeat a visit to the Psychiatrist for prescription drugs like Paroxetine and Clonazepam is advised.

Two details I forgot to mention. I do have an enlarged prostate and I woke up with an erection when I lost bowel control. Could this have been an alternative cause to loosing bowel control? I'm thinking it may have applied extra pressure to my full rectum. Thx!

Hello again dear patient,
Enlarged prostate I don't think has relation to this episode.Secondly to woke up in erection is normal for males.No rectum is supplied by different nerve while penis is supplied by pudendal nerve.Tgey are body completely different structure anatomically and physiologically..
Very likely it's due to activity of subconscious mind with stimulation of autonomous nerves which are not controlled by us voluntarily.
