Yes, I can fully relate to the needing to 'escape reality' aspect. Especially if the persons reality has a lot of difficult mental/emotional hurdles all the time.

I've seen the gummies on the internet but I've not tried them myself, no. I imagine the indica effect might be relaxing but on the other hand, yes, might enhance anxiety and paranoia symptoms, I don't know.

Also, for myself, I've had a lot of issues with alcohol in my life and even though it's now a big no go area, I do find myself just casually drinking in my dreams quite often, always in some dreamworld social situation. It's odd because I haven't touched the stuff in two years and really don't want to.

In that sense, for me, I do believe my drinking dreams represent a desire to be free from my psych issues and not necessarily a wish to drink. 🙏
