Thread: Obliterated (The Impact of Lucid Dreams)

I like to interpret my own dreams and my mothers. I hold to the philosophy that the best interpreter of dreams is you yourself, as others have said. Having said that, I do think other people *can* give you an alternative point of view to consider. You mentioned addiction to drugs in the past--I am a college student, working on obtaining a psychology degree and have taken drug/drug dependance classes, plus I've known a few ex-addicts--so while I can't say I know what that FEELS like personally, I certainly know what those people and others have had to go through.

I found the lego's forming a wall around you interesting. Many who realize they are addicted or are battling addiction often feel "trapped" by the addiction. Is it mere coincidence that you were "trapped" by that wall? As for the tablets, they could have symbolized two different sides of your personality--the part of you that feels good when you take drugs, and enjoys the high you get--the first tablet you tried which made you feel super good--and the part of you that knows how dangerous these drugs are--the second tablet that "killed" you. Then there is the question you asked, what you most fear. Would it be safe to say that some part of you fears slipping back into the drug scene? Perhaps your subconscious was showing you that was something you worried about--and it's not unfounded, considering the amount of people that do end up going back and forth before finally recovering from addiction.

Finally the fact that you revived yourself was SUPER interesting. Perhaps it was your own way of telling yourself YOU are in control of your fate. YOU don't have to keep going down that route. You can "save" yourself from regressing back into taking drugs, and you needn't fear that, as long as you are truly intent on staying sober.

As others have said, the best interpreter of dreams is the dreamer themselves, but I think others can see patterns, particularly with a bit of background information on the person--which you provided. Awesome dream, and great idea to delve deeper into self-communication. Once I've gotten good at lucid dreaming, I want to try that myself.

Oh, and congrats on stopping the drugs and recognizing you had a problem too--that's no easy task!

I did feel trapped a lot of the time when smoking! I didn't feel trapped by addiction, but by the feeling of not knowing why I'm smoking in the first place. I never had the intention of doing it to relax or to get away. I did it to expand my mind and see how many different perspectives i could get while being influenced on this drug. That was my intention. But it never ended up being like that. It would always end up with me doing typical stoner shit. I felt trapped by the stoner stigma. I kept thinking every time I smoked it would be different but it never was. I realized it but I didn't want to believe it. That was my trap. That was my lego barricade xD
