Islamic Interpretation
(Inebriation) To be intoxicated in a dream signifies sorrow, anxiety, despondency, cares, arrogance, pride, dissipation, and the misuse of wealth. Within the dream state, wine is considered the chief of beverages. If one becomes drunk on wine and then rends his garment, it indicates he has arranged his affairs in an orderly and harmonious fashion. Yet it also points to the abuse of his station through excessive indulgence in worldly pleasure, reaching a point where he cannot manage his desires. To be seen consuming wine to the point of drunkenness denotes earning illicit income, with that wealth exerting control over how it is spent. Becoming drunk without consuming any actual liquor suggests senility or the childishness of an elder. For both men and women, this state in a dream is generally an ill omen, representing folly and complications in life. However, if a fearful person sees himself drunk, it means he will conquer his anxieties. Feigning drunkenness represents making a false claim; such a person may also suffer a false accusation in waking life as a corrective lesson, emerging from the ordeal as one who appears drunk without drinking. For a devout person, seeing himself drunk could symbolize his intense love for God. (See also the entry for Intoxicants.)
