quote [ The human bladder is, at the most basic level, a stretchy bag. To fill to capacity—a volume of 400 to 500 milliliters (about 2 cups) of urine in most healthy adults—it must undergo one of the most extreme expansions of any organ in the human body, expanding roughly sixfold from its wrinkled, empty state. ]
When I dream that I have to pee, I know it's time to wake the hell up and go to the bathroom. The older I've gotten, the more that happens.

It starts as a bit of a reflex and gradually, with training, comes under largely operant control. You are taught to perceive bladder pressure. It'd be cool if it wasn't so gross.
