Addiction in a dream stands for something that has taken more control than you want it to have — a habit, a relationship or a need for escape. Craving something you do not use in waking life is read as a longing for relief or comfort. Watching someone else struggle with addiction points to worry for them, or to feeling pulled into their patterns. Breaking free is taken as regaining control. The dream speaks of escape and control, and it can help to notice what you reach for when things feel heavy.

My Cosmic Code has a private dream journal. Write a dream down and the app picks out the symbols in it, shows what dream books say about them and, over time, which words recur across your entries. The journal is stored on your device only.
