An addict is someone who can’t control a habit or vice. Described in simplest terms, it means out of control, powerless over an obsession or compulsion, or a situation is out of hand. A dream about being an addict can connect with an actual addiction, but many things in life beyond drugs can be addictive: food, attention, sex, excitement, love, games, work. Dreams create physical representations of personal situations, and drug addiction is a ready-made comparison to other sorts of addictions. Another common perception is that people abuse substances to cope with the stresses of everyday life, or to fill a void. It can mean something or someone is missing from your life. It’s exaggerated but fits how you feel. Drug abuse could symbolically connect with other types of abuse. See: Abusing Addicts make other people responsible for them, avoiding responsibility for themselves, so it’s possible that an addict in your dream can symbolize avoiding responsibility. Addicts are commonly looked down on, so there are possibilities for symbolism related to arrogance or feelings of superiority, or for seeing yourself as above something or someone. For example, maybe you think you’re too good to do chores, or to date someone from a lower class. A drug addict can symbolize low opinion. An addict in a dream can represent low self-esteem because addicts are commonly viewed as lacking it. It can symbolize desperation. To dream about being in a group of addicts can connect with feeling that you don’t fit in, or don’t understand your behavior when among groups of people. The symbolism is created from the association that drug use makes people act differently. The entry for Drugs goes into more detail and provides examples.
