In the dream I was in school, even though I’m 23 right now and I bought adderall off of some guy in the bathroom. I took a little bit, then sat down next to my ex in class. He was acting upset that I was on drugs even though I felt like I was acting normal. I then saw that he was flirting with my friend in the class and wrapping his arms around her so I got up abruptly and left to the bathroom to do more adderall. Another girl came in offering to sell me meth and I said no and laughed but thought to myself how weird it was that everyone was trying to sell me drugs.
Dreams about school often symbolize learning, growth, or aspects of your life that are currently in a state of development. Being 23, it’s common to reflect on your past experiences in school as you navigate adulthood. The presence of your ex suggests unresolved feelings or a sense of connection that you have with that period in your life.
Buying Adderall, a medication often used for focus and attention, may symbolize your desire to cope with stress or enhance your performance in some area of your life. It can also reflect feelings of pressure to succeed or a need for mental clarity, perhaps in response to the challenges of adulthood.
Your ex's reaction to you using drugs may indicate your own internal conflict regarding self-acceptance and the choices you're making. You feeling “normal” while he shows concern could reflect your awareness of how your actions are perceived by others and perhaps a desire to reassure yourself that you can handle your situation.
The sight of your ex flirting with your friend could evoke feelings of jealousy, betrayal, or insecurity, hinting at unresolved emotions related to your past relationship. Leaving abruptly suggests a need to escape discomfort or confrontation, reinforcing the idea that you may still be processing these feelings.
The offer of meth along with your refusal and laughter might symbolize a recognition of harmful choices but also an acknowledgment of the absurdity or the pressure you feel from those around you. It could highlight a moment of clarity where you assert your boundaries despite the chaos surrounding you.
Overall, this dream reflects themes of self-exploration, coping mechanisms, unresolved emotions from past relationships, and the pressures of adulthood. It might be beneficial to reflect on areas of your life where you seek clarity, acceptance, or a sense of control.
