Had a dream about drinking alcohol again and feeling like shit. Why is this happening to me? I hate drinking alcohol. I don't know why my dreams keep punishing me. (lemmy.world)

I blame society for telling me to use drugs. I went along with it to fit in. I don't care about fitting in anymore, but I don't think it was my fault for partaking given the social atmosphere. So why do I have to suffer these dreams that torment me about it? Do I have unresolved trauma related to it or some shit?

PS. I am straight edge now, I haven't used drugs in a long time and don't think about them while I'm awake at all. I prefer to be sober minded. The only part they play in my life is in occasional dreams apparently, which are usually negative and unpleasant.

The images that you see in dreams are rarely concrete in meaning.

Unless you're a concrete salesman, of course.

Do Golems Dream of Concrete Sheep?

I'd totally watch a Blade Runner based on that book instead.
