Feeling thirsty in a dream is a metaphor for your need to plunge into your subconscious and self-analyze yourself, to discover and understand your own feelings and emotions. Therefore, if you see yourself drinking water in a dream, this stands for re-birth, revival and spiritual refreshment.

On the other hand, if you drink alcohol, this is closely related to your desire to avoid or forget about difficult problems you have to deal with in the waking life. You prefer running away from reality rather than facing it.

Drinking alcohol may also stand for your desire to enjoy yourself. This dream image speaks about your joyous nature, but also about the fact that you may be seeking only pleasure in life and not think about taking things more seriously, such as dealing with tasks and responsibilities.

Among alcoholic drinks, red wine as dream symbol may be related to the Divine. Therefore, if you see yourself drinking red wine, this is usually a good omen foretelling of fortunate and happy events to take place in your waking life.

If you see yourself or other people drinking something else besides water or alcoholic drinks, please check the meaning of the specific drink in our dream dictionary in order to have a complete interpretation of your dream.
