Does this mean anything or just something that happens?
Thanks!
When we dream, things feel very different (obviously). For alcoholics/addicts, that kind of "I feel weird" state is associated with drug/alcohol use, and so it makes sense that while dreaming we might interpret that as drunkenness. I don't know if that's what actually happens, but it's one possible explanation.
But yes, it happens to me from time to time.
