I blame society for telling me to use drugs. I went along with it to fit in. I don’t care about fitting in anymore, but I don’t think it was my fault for partaking given the social atmosphere. So why do I have to suffer these dreams that torment me about it? Do I have unresolved trauma related to it or some shit?

PS. I am straight edge now, I haven’t used drugs in a long time and don’t think about them while I’m awake at all. I prefer to be sober minded. The only part they play in my life is in occasional dreams apparently, which are usually negative and unpleasant.

    You’re probably having them because you’re obsessing about it enough to make this post. You had a dream about drinking, who gives a shit?

      I have tactile dreaming, meaning I experience physical sensations including pain in dreams, and in dreams like this I feel really physically unwell/nauseous and uncomfortable. It also happens recurringly, not just once, so I’d like to get to the bottom of how to stop it happening.

        idk… the fact that you were triggered enough by their post to add this comment certainly says a lot about how “soft” you are. :) the most sensitive people I’ve ever met have been boomers, personally.

        when did OP mention their age, by the way?
