Mendes took to his Twitter on Thursday morning to tell his fans about his bizarre dream, which involved him playing soccer and meeting Drizzy on his way to the Porta Potty; according to Mendes’ subconscious, [the _Views_ rapper](http://time.com/4312177/drake-views-from-the-6-internet-feelings/) was completely oblivious to Mendes’ existence and didn’t even know his hit song, “Stitches” which left him “heartbroken”. Mendes’ takeaway? Don’t go to a portable toilet. See his hilarious recounting of the dream in the tweets below. > [](https://twitter.com/ShawnMendes/status/784020492864851968) > [](https://twitter.com/ShawnMendes/status/784020841986191360) > [](https://twitter.com/ShawnMendes/status/784021245155217408) ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4521363/shawn-mendes-drake-dream/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4521363/shawn-mendes-drake-dream/"},"headline":"Shawn Mendes Had a Bizarre Dream About Drake and a Portable Toilet","datePublished":"2016-10-06T18:00:29.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:37:24.589Z","description":"What a time to be alive","url":"https://time.com/4521363/shawn-mendes-drake-dream/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Entertainment","Music","Drake","celebrity","Culture"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Cady Lang","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/cady-lang/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4521363/shawn-mendes-drake-dream/","name":"Shawn Mendes Had a Bizarre Dream About Drake and a Portable Toilet"}}]}] ```
