I was at my mom’s house and it was night time. My mom was in her bed sleeping. I was getting ready for bed and then later on I went into my closet and noticed there was only a few things. I started to search everywhere high and low for my stuff, from under my bed to the washing machine. The only things I found were random socks and maybe a pair of underwear. I went to my mom and asked her where my stuff was and she said check the washer, and I told her they weren’t in the washer. I went out to the garage and found all these rolling racks of clothes, most of them all of my stuff that I’ve lost or misplaced. I was so shocked and then I noticed so many9; my coats and jackets were shrunk. Some of my favorite jackets in real life that I lost during years long meth addiction were on this rack, and I was so confused, both by why they were in the garage and also because they didnt fit me anymore it appeared they both the clothes were too small and also I was just a larger wider man now. As I was going to tell my mom and ask her why the stuff was in her closet, I left the garage and all of these trucks.pulled into the drive way and my older brother hopped out of one. My brother and my mom in real life (not in the dream) were the ones who supported me and helped me to get off the drugs. In the dream my brother and his friends, in maybe about 4/5 pickup trucks, took all of the clothes in the garage to sell them. I didn’t realize this until they left and I went into the garage and all of the stuff (which I sS angry but relieved somehow to find/discover were still with me) was part of the stuff they took to sell and I realized I had none of my clothes anymore and they took all of them. Most of my clothes I lost in my addiction were designer clothes and expensive stuff, and all of this designer stuff which at one point defined my identity was lost both in the dream and in reality. In the dream I got so angry at my mom and was huffing and puffing about where my stuff went. I woke up and was hyperventilating.
This dream may reflect feelings of loss, confusion, and frustration surrounding your past addiction and the impact it had on your life. The setting of your mom's house symbolizes a sense of security and familiarity, while the nighttime atmosphere suggests a time of introspection and reflection. Your search for your belongings in the dream represents your desire to regain control and find what you have lost in your addiction.
The discovery of your clothes in the garage, accompanied by the realization that they no longer fit, may highlight how your addiction has altered your sense of self and caused significant changes in your life. The shrinkage of your favorite jackets may symbolize how your past actions and lifestyle choices have affected your identity, leaving you feeling disconnected from who you used to be.
The appearance of your older brother, who supported you in your real-life recovery, and his friends responsible for taking your clothes may represent conflicting emotions. On the one hand, their presence signifies the support you received from loved ones during your journey to overcome addiction. On the other hand, their actions of selling your belongings may point to a sense of betrayal or loss of control.
Overall, this dream suggests unresolved emotions and a need for closure or resolution regarding the impact of your addiction on your identity and self-image. It may be beneficial to explore these feelings in therapy or through self-reflection to further understand and process your experiences.
