Check out this dream I had about pill addiction

[Josephtyler]

I had a dream last night, it was a fantasy too rather than a nightmare.

I was sitting in a large bathroom near a toilet. Surrounding me were 10's of people begging me and crying while I was laughing hystericaly and dumping bottle after bottle of pills into the toilet and flushing them.

Kind of twisted I know. Could there be an underlying meaning to this dream?

Have any of you ever had strange dreams during recovery?

I think the people that where begging me not to was me also. Possibly one part of myself conquering another.

Seems like a dream of empowerment. You kept flushing the pills even though it was upsetting to other people. Maybe it's symbolic of your decision to let go of the pills and the people that might trigger use?
