THE DREAM - I have a recurring dream. I'm always drunk or drugged (despite I don't use drugs in real life) and I feel very dizzy and can barely walk or talk or stay on my feet, the thing is that in that state, I always have to do something important or meet with someone I really care about (ie: during an university exam, or being stopped by the police, or having to meet with some friend) and I feel very desperate.

GUESSWORK The dreamer was always lacking confidence and judged himself really harshly.
