Dream Interpretation: why dream of drinking. Number magic

To summarize a dream in a generalized interpretation, in which you had a chance to drink something, dream books are not capable of it just for the reason that a lot of the interpretation depends on the drink used in a dream. In order to find out in more detail why there is a quenching of thirst or a libation, besides the “thirst quencher” itself, it is necessary to take into account many other factors: who they drank with, for what reason, from which and the like trifles.

What prophesies Miller

Discrepancies and petty quarrels, mainly because of material values, are to be experienced by that dreamer who in a dream drank Cahors in small sips from a broken glass, Miller's dream suggests.

In a dream, we felt a desire to get drunk in the company of friends, but at the last moment we suddenly changed our minds? This suggests that you will be able to significantly improve the financial component of your life.

Clarifying why you dream that you drink poison in small doses - no one and nothing can break you. But getting drunk and driving is risky.

Drinking water is a sign of grace

The largest number of interpretations, perhaps, belongs to water. Had a dream of drinking soda? Tempting prospects "loom" on the horizon, the Female Dream Book promises.

They drank water from a spring with a friend or lover - for a long period of happy coexistence. But drinking from a stream with an enemy is a sign of reconciliation.

Why dream that the deceased asks to drink, and you give him some water from the well? This vision promises peace and tranquility in the soul. But getting rid of negativity and “black” thoughts is the result of a dream plot in which you drink voditsa from a holy spring, says the dream book of Pastor Loff.

Trying to quench your thirst with a mineral water right from the bottle is a sign of unwillingness to wait.

If you dreamed that you want a drink, and at the same time choose between a fairly strong alcohol, do not forget to clarify what each of these drinks portends. So you drank:

  • moonshine - you have to overcome difficulties alone;
  • tequila - you will soon feel a craving for novelty;
  • rum - you want to relax, but nothing comes of it;
  • braga - to stomach disease;
  • perfume or cologne - to shame, moreover, to the public;
  • alcohol - you happen to defend your point of view.

Noble alcohol as a symbol of success

The dreaming picture where you drink cognac, sitting at the table, symbolizes a quick enrichment, declares Longo's dream book. But before you rejoice, specify: dreamed that they drank cognac, biting it with chocolate - a sign of comprehensive good luck, when you will have plenty of not only money, but also successful enterprises.

But to drink cognac and smoke means a leisurely, but quite successful business. See that you drink whiskey with your friends? Expect support from them, though more moral than monetary.

And those who drank viskarik in a dream with an opponent or with an opponent during a feast can be rejoiced, since this vision means the complete “reconquest” of the subject of passion from a competitor, Tsvetkov’s dream book broadcasts.

Drink low alcohol drinks: From fun to frustration

To drank all the savings, letting them down on a martini is a signal of rash acts. You are ready to make a mistake, so do not rush to act, gives a good advice Gypsy dream book.

But drinking liquor, or a cocktail based on it, is a sign of fun and joy. In a dream, you are offered to drink it at the Brudershaft with a stranger? Do something eccentric or absurd.

Drinking wine from a glass in a dream is a sign of refinement of nature. See that you savor wine with the boss, having a leisurely conversation? You will be promoted due to your intelligence and skills.

And one more thing: the wine in the dream was sweet - expect honors and recognition of your merits even from those who “have a tooth on you”. And here, the sour "cracker" is a symbol of vain expectations. Not everything will be as you would like.

Milk - To both suitors and sneakers

Had a dream that you wanted to drink sweet fresh or baked cow's milk directly from a can? This foreshadows the timely realization that one of the comrades is rubbing himself into trust with a mercenary purpose.

Drinking sour milk in a dream is an experience. Treating yourself to kefir is a temporary inconvenience and difficulty. Why do you dream that you drink koumiss? It speaks of spiritual uplift. And if you dreamed that you were enjoying delicious cream, then you should take a closer look at the man who is curling around you.

To give goat milk from someone’s cup in a dream to someone is a symbol of meeting a rich spouse with the help of a matchmaker. And here, to give yogurt from his own glass - to the appearance of a rival.

Juice, lemonade and other sweets are a sign of vital concerns

Do you want to drink raspberry compote in a dream? Medea's dream book assures us that this is a trip to visit. And here, the interpretation of sleep, in which you taste jelly, sitting at a table with a deceased cousin, prompts: remember it.

To ask someone to pour you a milkshake with your friends - this plot predicts getting into a comic situation with girlfriends. To drink a lot of syrup is to satiety with the joys of life. And if you drank it with a dead person, it means you realize that you allow yourself too much, enlightens Wangi's dream book.

Medications, or take care of your health!

Why do you dream that you had to ask for medicine? This is definitely a disease! And if you dreamed that you brew and drink a rosehip decoction, then you will visit the spleen and apathy associated with a lack of vitamins.

To take tincture of valerian is a sign of heart disease, which in reality, that in a dream, dream books explain. And if valerian was in tablets, then take this warning very seriously - get involved in the prevention of heart disease.

Taking pills for colds is a sign of general exhaustion of the body, says Miss Hasse's interpretation of the dream book.

Tea-coffee - a messenger of friendships

Did I have a chance to give tea to friends or acquaintance with tea from an iron mug or other metal utensils in a dream? What does this dream about, the Slavic dream book will tell: you are not afraid of enemies, your friendship is unbreakable.

Dreaming coffee portends friendly gatherings. And here, to see that enjoy cocoa - to pleasant surprise.

Human waste products as a symbol of change

The answer to the question of what is the dream of drinking breast milk is in the Wanderer’s dream book: to successfully complete the “long-playing” idea. Drank urine in a dream? This suggests that you are not inclined to trust generally accepted knowledge and other people's experience.

Did someone suck your blood in a dream? Be careful when you wake up, there is a risk of injury, predicted dream books.

Agricultural products: Follow the words and there will be success

Why can you dream that you drank a raw egg, the dream book of Nostradamus knows - you are waiting for new knowledge. Eggs were fresh in a dream? What you get carried away will benefit you. But if you poured a rotten chicken egg into your mouth, then try to communicate less with anyone in the near future - you will be inclined to say stupid things.

But what you dream about drinking vegetable oil is a symbol that everything will go as you planned. It’s even better to drink honey - you will succeed even where you did not expect. Hanging in a dream with a pickle - to unexpected profit. And drunk kvass promises cordiality and compassion.


The dream in which you drink well water on a hot day portends a safe course of work. Drinking water from a bucket - to an accident, illness or injury, from a glass - to the danger of a viral infection. Drinking in a dream from a jug is a sign of prosperity, from a glass or mug - to receive money and honor, from a glass or glass - to the scandal in the house. Drinking from a jug or a bowl - you will experience the joys and sorrows of secret love, drinking wine from a bottle - joy in friendship and strong family ties, from the horn - your desire will come true.

Drinking white wine is for fun, red for a long journey, champagne for a bargain.

If in a dream you are so tormented by thirst that you drink warm, dirty water - in reality this portends a disease that will affect your affairs. Drinking ice water from an ice-hole is a sudden awakening of love and passion. Drinking water from a spring - portends that you will not withstand the adverse situation prevailing in the team of colleagues, and decide to change your place of work.

The dream in which you drink goat’s milk means that you will marry a rich man in reality and you will never regret it. Drinking fresh cow's milk means that in time show insight regarding the true intentions of a person who is stuffing you as a friend.

If in a dream you drink kefir - this portends light losses and temporary inconvenience, koumiss - to spiritual enthusiasm and success in business. Drinking icy sour kvass from a jug - portends unpleasant experiences that will come upon you when you hear about a profitable bargain.

Drinking tea with lemon in a dream - in reality you will begin to indulge your whims, and everything else will recede into the background for you. Drinking beer to the disappointment of a loved one, lemonade - to an acquaintance that spills out in love.

If you drink Coca-Cola - in reality strengthen your health, if fruit drinks - you will be offended, cocktail - amaze others with an extravagant trick. Drinking oil - to the disease, salt solution - to wealth.

The ancients said "in aqua sanitas", which meant "health in the water." Does the dream book think so? Why do you dream of a clear or cloudy liquid that you drank in your dream?

  • Drinking water in a dream is a great sign. The most common interpretation of this dream is considered to be: life without a disease awaits you, or healing from an ailment that is exhausting you at the moment.
  • Why dream of drinking water, standing on all fours? Your subconscious mind warns: you are too selfish, and if you yourself do not remove the imaginary crown from your head, it will make life, and in a form that is very unpleasant for you.

What was that water like?

  • Clean, transparent. Sleep means health, and if the water was also spring water, then good luck in business. Everything that you have in mind, you will successfully implement.
  • Muddy, dirty. And this, on the contrary, is not the best dream. Soon something will upset you to tears, even more to apathy and universal gloom, and only relatives or friends will be able to pull you out of the abyss of sadness.

  • From the bucket. This is not a good dream; it promises trauma or an unpleasant disease.

  • Thirst still did not go away, and the water was dirty? You swallowed your drink in huge glasses (bottles, sips), and still could not get drunk? This means that in real life you will make titanic efforts to get rich - and all of them will be futile.

Interpretation of famous authors

After many interpretations, collected from little-known dream books, as well as popular beliefs, we suggest that you familiarize yourself with two author's transcripts of dreams. Will they coincide with the traditional interpretation, or will they open up new facets of your sleep?

Dream Interpretation Meneghetti

  1. Drinking in a dream is good, and no matter what you revel in - water, milk or wine. Dream means: you dream about love, success, and maybe even about children.
  2. Drinking from a bottle is our unconscious desire to become small again so as not to solve anything, and our mother “raked” all our problems for us.
  3. But this same dream can be interpreted in a different way: perhaps there is an overly caring mother next to you, for whom you, at 35, are a “sweet little son”. You want to isolate yourself with all the fibers of the soul from such parental (or maybe friendly?) Inconsideracy.
  4. Have you seen a friend drink from a horn? You subconsciously consider him infantile.

Dream interpretation of Tsvetkova

  1. The famous esoteric is sure: to feel thirst in a dream - in your life there will be troubles that you will have to deal with immediately.
  2. Drinking clean, clear water - soon you will do some good work.
  3. If in a dream you drank a cloudy liquid, beware of the disease.
  4. It was not water, but kvass? Sleep promises the dreamer much health.

  Dream Interpretation - Water

Seeing clean water in a dream - to well-being and pleasure.

If the water is muddy - danger awaits you.

They saw that water has flooded your house - you will fight, resist evil.

I dreamed that water was decreasing - succumb to a dangerous influence.

If splashes of water fall on you in a dream, then passionate love will awaken in your soul, which will bring you happiness.

Nostradamus attached great importance to the image of water in dreams. He believed that drinking warm water in a dream was a danger sign from a powerful enemy.

Cold water means peace of mind and the presence of loyal friends.

Holy water dreams of health, sinlessness.

Walking on water is a success.

Seeing that the water evaporates is to improve the weather.

To scoop up water - to long occupations and big efforts.

Shedding water in your room is a hassle and trouble.

And the Bulgarian prophetess Vanga considered water a symbol of change, resolution of contradictions, development, renewal, washing away of sins and oblivion. This is how she interpreted dreams about water.

If in a dream you drank pure cold water, then in reality the world will be renewed and you will be involved in this process of purification and resurrection.

I dreamed that water was pouring down on you - a wave of cosmic influence was coming upon you, which is useless to resist.

If you manage to find harmony with the cosmos, then you will become a great man and become famous throughout the world.

Turbid water is a sign of trouble, the complexity of situations and relationships with people. Wang urged to show kindness and patience, so as not to defile the soul with unworthy impressions.

If in a dream you saw how water floods your house, then in reality await the flow of news. One of them will significantly change your self-esteem and relationships with people.

Drowned in a dream - in reality you will resist the natural course of events. No need to do this, otherwise you will tear your health and shorten your life.

I dreamed of circles or ripples on the water - ahead of the change. Having hardly survived in a turbulent stream of events, you will gain power over yourself and other people.

Now let's see what D. Loff wrote about water. He believed that, regardless of whether it is a deep fresh lake, a river that carries life, or an ocean that absorbs people, water is both a friend and an enemy. That is why it is so important to understand the role of this strongest symbol that appeared to you in a dream.

Very often, the appearance of water in a dream coincides with the highest point of feelings. Her image can enhance both a sense of peace and bliss, and anxiety and anxiety. Water either provides life or is fraught with danger.

Water is a symbol of new life, restoration of strength and energy. Managed water is the key to solving problems. Try to remember your dream: if you dreamed about a lake, did you see the entire line of the coast, and if it was a river or a stream - didn’t they come out of the coast? These are all examples of controlled water.

Uncontrolled water gives rise to a sense of anxiety. Boundless lakes and raging rivers reflect the uncontrollability of circumstances. Quiet deep water can also give rise to a sense of anxiety if its depth is fraught with danger and suspense.

An exception to this theory are water taps. Remember what you dreamed: was the crane controlled by you or someone else? If in a dream you tried to control the tap, but you didn’t succeed (or there was no water in the tap), then in reality you clearly feel your inability to cope with simple circumstances.

If someone else controlled the crane, then in real life you feel that your situation, whether it is good or bad, is determined by other people. This circumstance can make you feel both comfortable and uncomfortable, depending on who the management comes from.

To play the barrel organ yourself - you should not so aggressively seek the location of the person you like. Intrusive attempts to make acquaintance can be perceived by him as an encroachment on freedom, and then no continuation will follow.

Why do you have a dream about champagne

You yourself must be kind to them, then they will answer the same. If you are poured champagne in a dream, then this dream predicts to you that your dissatisfaction with the actions of other people will not bring you anything good. It is always easier to condemn than to help and encourage an incorrectly acting person. As long as you go this easy way, you will not receive rewards. The dream in which you open a bottle of champagne soon predicts a big quarrel through your own fault, as a result of which you will lose the trust and support of a rather influential person.
