Drinking in your dream can have varying meanings depending on what you are consuming and the other symbols involved. Do you thirst for knowledge or do you need to sober up?
Drinking coffee in your dream may mean that you need stimulation. Where in your life do you need to be vigilant or more attentive? Have you been tired or stressed? Your dream may be a signal to take better care of yourself.
Drinking milk, water or other comfort beverage can symbolize a need for nurturing by others or yourself. Water sustains life. Are you thirsting for wisdom, spiritual food or substance? Pay attention to the condition of the liquid. Is the milk sour or the water contaminated? Has something soured or polluted your thoughts and attitudes?
Drinking alcohol or being drunk in a dream may symbolize a need to escape or that you are seeing things in a "drunken haze." What are you avoiding or not seeing clearly?
Being intoxicated in your dream may mean that you are feeling intoxicated by success, love or other emotion. Look at the other symbols - who, what, when, where and at what's going on in waking life to determine the meaning.
May all your dreams come true!
