Dreaming of Laudanum

Laudanum speaks of dependence and weakness, but also of the good you can do by helping others steer clear of it.
What happens in the dream
- You stop someone from taking it: you'll bring great joy and good to others
- You take laudanum: a weak will makes you too easily swayed; build your resolve
- Your partner takes it out of despair: unhappy affairs and the loss of a friend
- You give it to someone: a family member will suffer minor ailments
How you felt
- A need for relief: the dream may reflect a wish to escape pain
- Concern for others: you may be worried about someone vulnerable
Ask yourself
- What do I use to numb myself?
- Who might need my help to hold steady?
