What Does It Mean to Dream About Your Addiction?

Question by ?? Dee ??: What does it mean to dream about your addiction?
What does it mean to dream about engaging in your addiction of choice? Like if you’re a compulsive gambler, what does it mean to dream about gambling (can’t be as easy as, “I want to gamble,” can it?)?

Is there a difference in dreaming that you DO gamble, and dreaming that you resist gambling?

Best answer:

Answer by Lemanski’s Ghost
You want to probe how they felt about it. Were they disgusted at themselves when they awoke? Did they want to gamble when they awoke?

Dreaming they resist may mean their progressing in identifying their place is to resist; dreaming they indulge may be greiving over the loss, like dreaming of a passed loved one. Even in abusive relationships people miss the pronounced relief they occasionally would get from the madness. When life becomes more orderly, there’s no opportunity for that relief because that chaos isn’t there from which to be relieved.
