Yeah true that
Drink dreaming is extremely common among alcoholics. It's very possibly the unconscious' way of fulfilling the wish to drink while also establishing reinforcements to discontinue an unhealthy behavioral pattern. They can also show you people and environments that should be avoided if the habit is to die.
Trip ppl I used to drink with do end up in my dream and I haven’t even talk em in years
The subconscious wants what it wants sometimes. But sometimes, it's also an indicator of the things about us that we severed ties with, yet we still identify with as a portion of who we are. That's a good thing to be reminded of sometimes. Not in the sense that being a drunk should define us. But that we should never truly forget where we came from. I've been sober nine plus years and still occasionally have them. Sometimes where I'm tying on a good one and all sorts of out of character. In my dream, I'm always conscious of the fact that I've given up sobriety in that moment and in that instance, I feel a huge sense of regret. But wake up to realize I got a free reminder of how much I truly stand to lose if I should fall back into old habits. Dont read too much into them. Dreams are almost never "premonitions" unless the matter at hand is something you're dealing with in your day to day life. Theres a lot of psychology into what and how things are manifested in our sleep and the meaning is almost never what it appears as in the dreams. Don't lose too much though over any of it, and definitely don't drink. These days, I just wake up, chuckle and say "still got it!" and then roll out of bed, happy, healthy, and NOT hungover and go on about having a successful day.
