ALCOHOL : Think of things that you associate with alcohol. In small
amounts it allows you to unwind and can link to a relaxed attitude. In large
amount its shows things have got out of control. Alcohol is linked also to
being sociable and getting along with people so think of themes in your life
linked to the need to get along well with others and mixing in a social gathering.
KEY WORDS(Pick a quote which captures your feelings right now. Think especially
of the day before the dream) :
- "a relaxed attitude"
- "totally lose control"
- "I need to get along with them all and treat them like friends"
- "a real life situation from yesterday that involved actual alcohol"
DRUNKS : Drunks symbolise the types of emotions we feel when we see
drunks. They are associated with losers and worthless people. They lack of
ability to master simple tasks could reflect your own sense of inadequacy
or ineffectiveness. The drunk may just link to some sense that things are
out of control.
- "looking or feeling like a loser"
- "its totally out of control"
- "you do not know what you are doing!"
- "incapable of making a rational decision"

DREAM STUDIES : Real dreams about drugs and alcohol
--------------------------
THE DREAM I was in our childhood home. My brother was away for a day
and a half not notifying anybody if he was OK. He suddenly turns up in the
early morning as I am preparing for the day. He looked emaciated and 'concentration
camp' thin. Skin was hanging off his bones. He seemed to be a younger age
than he is now though.
I was very concerned about my brother's appearance but he shrugged it off.
I persisted and asked if he was on drugs? He said yes. I looked at his left
arm and there were fresh needle marks there. It was at this point I got angry
as he was the older sibling and should know better(my brother did very well
in school, I did not). We entered a conversation about the reasons why (unfortunately
can't remember details) but basically he needed them to survive day to day
life. It was like a role reversal in that he was confiding in me as if I was
the older sibling. I seemed more mature than he at this point.
THE REALITY In real life the dreamers brother is 50, obese, heavy smoker and
doesn't exercise. He locks himself in his computer room and is quite antisocial.
The dreamer had been increasingly worried about him.
DREAM MEANING The dream captures the following feeling within the dreamer
- "I am worried about my brother who is increasingly becoming divorced
from reality. He does not go out and is very anti social"
THE INTERPRETATION The dream was about the dreamers brother and because the
worries in real life seem to match the similar worry in the dream then the
dream can safely be linked to this issue.
The dream deals firstly with the dreamers brother. It Then starts to deal
with this specific issue of drugs. The drugs are symbolic in this case. They
refer to the dreamers mindset. It shows that his judgment is not perfect.
Drugs often link to skewed vision and thoughts which are becoming increasingly
divorced from reality.
In this case the dreamers brother needs these drugs. That shows that the dreamer
is understanding that the views that the dreamer's brother is developing are
linked to the reality of his situation. They are probably a coping mechanism.
The fact that the dreamer is older than his brother in the dream shows that
the dreamer now accepts that a role reversal has taken place. He is now the
more mature brother and needs to guide and help his brother.
So the dream is very much about understanding his mindset and that will maybe
help him in getting through to his brother that he needs to change his ways.
Symbolic Meanings
DRUG : "divorced from reality - the dreamers brother is cut off from reality"
--------------------
THE DREAM I am in public somewhere. There is some child who is playing
a very very big chello or violin. Then there was something about the violin
could be stuffed full of drugs.
THE REALITY The dreamer was usually a shy and retiring type but the previous
day he had been using a video recorder with friends.
DREAM MEANING The dream captures the following feeling within the dreamer
- "I am usually nervous in groups of people. But yesterday with the video
camera I felt really confident. I guess I became a bit divorced from reality
and my usually shy self"
THE INTERPRETATION Drugs can often link to a feeling of clouded judgement.
In this case the dreamer was realising that the video camera had really improved
her confidence. She was able to strutt around in public with this sence of
importance. But perhaps the confidence was falsely placed. Perhaps this confidence
was overdone. Perhaps she was deluded into a sense of overconfidence. The
dream linked to a realisation that this "important" piece of equipment did
not make her cool. That she had to remain firmly in reality.
Symbolic Meanings
CHILD : "boundless enthusiasm"
DRUG : "divorced from reality"
--------------------
THE DREAM I working in a bar somewhere. It seems like its close to
home. I am thinking strongly in the dream that I should really buy a drink
for my old college lecturers.
THE REALITY The dreamer had been a member of an art group for many years.
That had recently fallen apart due to members moving away. The dreamer joined
a new art group and was aware that the new group was slightly different to
his old group - it was more social in nature.
DREAM MEANING The dream captures the following feeling within the dreamer
- "I have just joined a new art group as my old one closed down. I feel
a need to show my appreciation for them allowing me to join their group. I
have got to realise that the new group is more like a social gathering. My
former art group was more about sharing technical knowledge and expertise."
THE INTERPRETATION The dream places a great deal of emphasis on the need to
buy a drink. In this sense there were obvious associations - the dreamer was
wanting to show his appreciation for something. In such cases look for situations
in your life where there seem to be direct parallels. In this case the dreamer
was feeling the need to show appreciation to people who allowed him to join
their art group. It was not just a simple club where you paid fees. It was
more of a social gathering so the dreamer was noting that he would need to
fit in with that atmosphere.
Of course the dream featured his former college tutors. In real life no issue
involved them in any way so their meaning was obviously symbolic. The dreamer
did not feel he learned much from his tutors yet he was always glad for the
opportunity to go to college as it brought him into contact with other like
minded people. That probably links to the dreamers own situation - he felt
that he would not learn much from the new group. They could not teach him
anything new yet he did appreciate the chance to meet with like minded people.
Symbolic Meanings
BUY DRINK : "show appreciation and get along with people - the dreamer realises
that his new art group is as much a social group and is not simply linked
to an interest in art. His former art group was simply a gathering of people
interested in art."
