DRUNK

also see Alcohol and Intoxication

1- To be drunk in a dream means that we are abandoning ourselves to irrational forces. We want to be free from responsibility and from having inhibitions.

To make someone else drunk is to be forcing our irresponsibility onto someone else.

2- Being drunk indicates the need to reconnect with a part of ourselves which can tolerate inappropriate behaviour. In previous societies it was an accepted part of life that, at certain times, drunkenness was allowed as a way of celebration or as a release of tension - hence the term a Bacchanalian revel’.

3- Ecstasy is reputedly achieved after inhibitions have been removed through getting drunk.

Being under the influence of alcohol is a clear sign of repression and desire for escape: not wanting to see reality. Although it also portends wealth and health, the type of beverage leads to different interpretations: if it is wine drunkenness, there will be successes in business and love; water drunkenness, excessive fantasy and bad luck; and strong liquor drunkenness, licentiousness. Feeling drunk when you had no alcohol at all is a warning of unreliable companies around you; and to see others in that situation, sad events in the near future.

For the gypsies, seeing a drunk person means that soon you will receive a small but pleasant surprise.

This is an unfavorable dream if you are drunk on heavy liquors, indicating profligacy and loss of employment. You will be disgraced by stooping to forgery or theft.

If drunk on wine, you will be fortunate in trade and love-making, and will scale exalted heights in literary pursuits. This dream is always the bearer of aesthetic experiences.

To see others in a drunken condition, foretells for you, and probably others, unhappy states. Drunkenness in all forms is unreliable as a good dream. All classes are warned by this dream to shift their thoughts into more healthful channels.
