The World Dream Bank:
DRUGS

Dreams about drugs: from alcohol to psychedelics. There's a personal reason this list is so short--I have severe allergies and can't use many drugs, whether medically or for recreation. Though some say I found a psychologically addictive substitute, a drug I'm not allergic to--dreams themselves.

RELATED TOPICS: addiction and 12-step programs - altered states - See also the full INDEX OF SUBJECTS.

The World Dream Bank has 1500 dreams and dream images plus 500 other pages on dreamwork and shamanism, creativity, genius, art, surrealism and fantasy. Unless otherwise noted, all material copyright Chris Wayan, 2001-2006.
