Psychology
Wetting yourself in a dream is often triggered by a real need to urinate, a classic case of bodily signals shaping dreams. Psychologically it can mirror pent-up feelings spilling over, or fear of public shame and losing control.
Folklore and history
Dream lore often reads it as a lucky release, a sign of improving fortune. For children's bedwetting, many regions kept charms and remedies, and gentle care was preferred over scolding.

This site's view
In this site's view, what matters is whether anyone saw. Relief when alone means tension is dissolving; shame before others reveals a fear of being rejected for weakness. If no one in the dream laughed, the world may be kinder than you fear.
Going deeper: our reading
Before the accident in this dream, there is often a long search for a toilet. When you finally find one, it has no door, is filthy, or has a queue. That frustration of having nowhere to go in peace is an important part of the dream. In this site's reading, a toilet you can't find suggests your life lacks a place or time to let feelings out. A toilet without a door reflects private space being invaded; a dirty one, enduring surroundings you dislike. Waking just as you find a clean toilet may mean you are close to reaching somewhere safe. This is our speculation, but people always under someone's eye at work or home, with no time alone, may dream this most. If you keep waking at night to urinate, pay attention to your body and consult a doctor if needed.
