What are possible meanings for dreams of drunkenness?

Dreams have all sorts of ways of using drunkenness to tell a story about something happening in your inner or outer life. Begin by thinking of it in simplest terms. To be drunk is to be out of control. It means too much of something, putting yourself and others at risk, or losing your inhibitions and doing things you wouldn’t normally do. Drunkenness helps to tell the story.

Next consider common associations with drunkenness, such as boisterousness, rudeness, celebration, brazenness, flirtation, and talkativeness. A dream can address any of these subjects through the symbolism of drunkenness.

Now connect the story and its details to you and what’s happening in your life.

A dream tells a story about being “drunk with love” by showing you drinking too much passion punch. It tells a story about bingeing your way through a stressful holiday season by showing you swimming in a pool of bubbly. A story about being disgusted by drunken behavior shows you stepping in a puddle of vomit.

Your associations and feelings are used to tell the story. For example, if you think drinking is for losers, or you associate it with wild lifestyles and trouble, a dream can build a story around it.

A man dreams about walking down a public street through an entertainment district in his town. He passes by a raucous nightclub just as a drunk man is kicked out of the club and careens into a crowded public street, where he’s hit by an older-model car that looks vaguely familiar to the dreamer. The dreamer reacts by thinking the drunk man got what he deserved.

The dream is sparked by a recent incident. A relative drove drunk and crashed into another car, causing all sorts of trouble for himself. The details of the dream match what the dreamer knows about the incident and show his thoughts about it. The car is familiar because it looks like one the relative drove when he was a teenager, something the dreamer hadn’t thought about in twenty years—but there it is, used as a detail in the dream, because teenagers are notorious for irresponsible behavior. And in the dream-story, the accident occurs in a public street, a way of saying the relative messed up in a very public way and is “kicked out of the club,” meaning the club of respectable society. Notice that the character representing his relative is not portrayed directly. The dream would be too obvious otherwise.

I’m in a lucid dream loop with Paul Rudd.

Last week I had a nonsexual but very intimate dream in which I ran into Paul Rudd at a resort and ended up kickin it with him for four days. Shootin the shit and eating yogurt together.

Somewhere along the way I realized it was a dream. And when we were both leaving the resort in our separate vehicles, I told him that when we both woke up, he should look me up.

Today I woke up from a dream in which I went to a party, ran into Paul Rudd and proceeded to tell him all about my dream from last week. He got me a drink and I spilled it on myself.

I’m sure next week I’ll have a dream in which I run into him on a jungle gym and tell him about this one. Then I’ll do a cartwheel down the slide and we’ll go get ice cream. Adding another layer on what appears to be my never-ending Paul Rudd dream pile.

Had a dream last night that my best friend blew me and I am shook.

In the dream he was drunk and I was drunk and my other friend wanted to open a door. My best friend blew my dick outta nowhere and I was very very very fine with it. I don't know what to do now, if I should ever bring this up in a conversation because this feels funny and fucking weird and I honestly might delete this post just in case he figures out my reddit account hahaha.

I dreamed I was in love, and woke up with a part of me missing.

I have a co-worker who I get along with extremely well. He is handsome, funny, kind and smart. During our shifts together, we text non-stop when we’re not able to talk, we text outside of work and have great conversations. I’ve never told him how I felt, but I like him.. a lot. Anyways, I had this dream a couple weeks ago. It was him and I, feeding each other food and drinking wine. We were cuddled up on the couch and he gave me a kiss on the forehead, we looked at each other and our eyes met. It felt like the kind of love you see in movies. Nothing else mattered but us at that point in time. The dream jumped to us laying in bed, looking out the window at the sunset with him rubbing my arm and my head burrowed in his chest. But this time when I went to look up at him, I woke up. I immediately realized it was a dream and my heart broke. I haven’t been able to look at him the same because I don’t think he likes me back. My heart aches because I realized if he told me he liked me and wanted to be in a relationship with me, I don’t think I could ever be unhappy again. He makes my stomach flutter and my hands shake. I wish I had the courage to tell him how I feel.

Why is typing anything in a dream so hard?

So I had an unusually long dream today and
towards the end, I received a message on my phone, but it immediately went away. I tried using the phone to respond to it, but it was glitching etc. Later I decided to text a friend to ask about it and the letters on the keyboard were all messed up and it felt like texting while really drunk. Every word looked like gibberish and autocorrect would mess up the words even more. It was really frustrating, has that happened to anyone else?

I watched my husband dream.

I was having a dream last night, and suddenly I was dragged into another dream where I was at a bar and I saw my husband talking to a woman: short haired brunette, and they were flirting with each other... it was a dream and it didn’t bothered me..
Next morning, we were in bed and I told him that I had this dream and described it to him...He looked at me with a face as he had just seeing a ghost and said “ last night, I had a dream that I was back in college, partying at a bar, flirting and drinking with a girl I used to like and she was a short haired brunette”
I thought he was f..: with me, but he was really serious... I think I watched my husband dream..
Did that ever happen to anybody here?
