THE DREAM I was arguing with someone who was drunk. No matter what I said they would not be convinced. It was completely pointless. I simply could not win. It was an endless struggle.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION The dreamer had been brought up a Muslim but was now wanting to renounce her faith. Her parents were totally against this. She felt she could not talk with them any more.

DREAM ANALYSIS: Dreams will try to mirror reality. In real life the dreamer was trying to argue with her parents without any success. In the dream she was having an endless and pointless arguement with a drunk. So thats a good connection with real life. How can we interpret such a dream? Why was the dreamer arguing with a drunk rather than her parents. Think about what happens when you try to argue with a drunk. You simply cannot get through to them whatever arguments you use. A drunk will often drone on endlessly about the same things. So the behaviour of the drunk says a great deal about the dreamers thoughts about her mom and dad. She believes that whatever she says "she can never get through to her parents" and that "her parents droned on about the same things."
