You stand in a dark, abandoned house at the end of the ally, alone and lost. Your body is shaking uncontrollably and all you see next to you is some pills. Your senses are sharpened, every sound and image is distorted and you are wondering „why am I doing this to myself“. Just as you try to come to your senses, you wake up in horrible fear. Luckily, it was all just a dream.
Dreams about drugs usually indicate the attempt to ignore reality and escape the burdening difficulties of everyday life. It has long been known that certain substances alter our perception. These can induce anything from a state of euphoria to a total distortion of reality. Implications of this dream are very dangerous, as it is as opening your subconscious mind with a hammer instead of with a key. To be taking drugs in a dream means that we’ve completely lost control over our lives and we have to rely naively on external stimuli to motivate and inspire us. It can also suggest that you are currently looking for a temporary ‘quick fix’ of your consciousness, seeking freedom and protection from all the circumstances you’re currently in. You are taking a path of least resistance – by taking them, you are choosing a temporary relief instead of meeting whatever it is that bothers you consciously. The self-destructive part of you tries to take over using a defense mechanism to save you from becoming hurt – but in a very devastating way. It is a subliminal message from your unconscious mind to be more awake, more alert, and more focused in your waking life, and to take responsibility for everything you think and do.

Dreaming of taking/seeing drugs
If you dreamed of taking drugs, it heavily symbolizes a misfortune that you found yourself in recently. You probably didn’t understand many warnings from your surroundings, choosing to ignore and neglect the signs that some danger is ahead. You probably didn’t listen to benevolent advice from your loved ones who wanted to protect you from the approaching harm. Now you are facing the consequences of your poorly judged thoughts and actions. You naively thought that you could do everything on your own, without anyone’s help, convinced that you know best. You prefer learning from your own mistakes – a mindless decision that currently backfires on you.
However, remember that everything has a solution and everything can be returned to balance. First off, you need to forgive yourself for your bad choices, freeing yourself of the burden that has been weighing you down for ages. Forgive, forget and move on – it is really that easy. Collect your thoughts, relax and retrieve from your world for some time. It will greatly help you to cleanse your soul of any toxic thoughts that led you where you are at the moment.
Seeing other people taking drugs
When you dream about other people taking drugs, it means that someone awaits help from you. You have to direct a person from your environment in the right direction, saving them from the potential stray off of their meant life path. They are probably used to making reckless decisions and prone to taking shortcuts to get what they want, which usually creates even more misery and dissatisfaction in their life. They can be even rude to you, but despite their behavior, you will successfully offer them the help and protection that they need. It is only a defense mechanism that they display, and you will perfectly know how to handle it. Be aware of whom you’re dealing with, and patiently redirect them, step by step.
However, if you dreamed of one or more drug addicts, it means that you are a very dupable person and you trust others way too easily. There is a chance that you will for someone else’s story and try to selflessly help them overcome their difficult life situation, but later you will realize that the person in question doesn’t intend to change. They will disappear as soon as they get what they want from you.
Watch out who you trust, not everyone is your friend.
Dreaming of someone offering you drugs
If you dreamed about someone offering you drugs, it means that in some way you are tempted. If you accept the offer in a dream, it means that you will give in to the urge to act according to your inner pull.
However, if you refuse, it means that you will manage to control your needs and fairly weigh out what is the best action you can take. Take everything into consideration and don’t make hasty decisions.
However, if you dream about someone forcing you to take drugs, it means that you have to beware of someone in your surroundings who is trying to pressure you into something you don’t want to do. They will have an immensely negative impact on you. Avoid everyone who looks suspicious and skillfully manipulative, and tries to lure you into the dark corridors of their selfish interests. You ought not to confide in people you have recently met. You should only trust the people who are close to you. Keep your eyes and ears wide open.
Drugging someone or someone drugged you
When you dream about someone drugging you, it means that you are trying to avoid admitting the truth to yourself. You try to neglect the evidence and avoid the facts that are right in front of your nose. You will rather ignore what is happening than face the painful reality that presents itself to you. The solution lies in total acceptance of your current life position. The sooner you make peace with everything that is, the easier you will overcome it. Don’t resist your circumstance, just admit your mistakes and move peacefully with your life.
However, if you dreamed that you have drugged someone, it means that you are longing for someone that you deem as unattainable for some reason. It is probably some love interest of yours with whom you have perceived differences or literal obstacles that block the advancement of your connection. He or she may already have a partner or be much older or younger than you. Don’t force anything. Relax and let your mutual feelings develop freely without constraints. Love is stronger than anything, just give up the control and he or she will appear right in front of your door.
Dreaming of buying/selling drugs
If you dream about buying drugs, it means that you are overwhelmed by stress and you don’t know how to handle it at the moment. You’ve burdened yourself with many obligations and problems, naively overlooking your current energetic and temporal resources. You probably don’t have enough time to evenly dedicate your attention to all of them. Try making a clear and concise plan to sort out your priorities. Stick to your strategy and the results won’t fail to appear.
However, if you dreamed about selling drugs, it means that you are in a difficult financial situation at the moment. You are probably lacking money for your basic needs, which deeply frustrates you because falling into debt isn’t an option. Try to find a decent job that will get you out of despair. Who seeks – finds, so giving up and wallowing will only dig you deeper into the anguish and pain.
Dreaming about overdosing
When you dream about overdosing, it means that you are seriously endangered by your self-destructive behavior. You are trying to escape reality by being promiscuous, aggressive, or overindulge in suspicious substances. Wake up from that numbing mindset that you’re in and courageously face your anxieties and fears. It is your birthright to be happy, grateful, and appreciative of your life. Embrace your issues and traumas, and show yourself some understanding and love. Every being is deserving of this. Focus on multiple possibilities for your future and stop giving attention to your destructive past. Redirect your thoughts and feelings only to love – toward yourself, others, and to life.
