I dreamed last night that I started smoking...

[YellowRubberDuckie]

Marlboro lights. I went to buy a carton and it cost $72, and my mom was like, you don't need name brand ones, just get whatever's cheapest they're all the same. And we actually argued about it. I said no. These taste better, and if I'm going to slowly kill myself, I wanna enjoy it. "Mom, I'm not smoking shavings from the floor and saw dust!!" God, I hate cigarettes. What could this possibly mean?

1. What or who do you associate cigarettes with?

specifically Marlboro lights? Key to much dream interpretation is how you feel about the crazy things that happen. Absurd things happen in dreams but our reactions to them will usually mirror a reaction we had to something during the prior day.

Does 72 mean anything special? While other elements of a dream are metaphoric, numbers stay the same. 72 is/was about the average life expectancy so it may tie with "slowly killing" yourself.

A political interpretation might be that you view one candidate as the lesser of two evils but aren't thrilled with either one.

2. Weird....

I'm not a smoker yet I have smoking dreams. These dreams are
so real to me that I wake up thinking that I'd like a cigarette.
I have had these dreams for 20 years! Just last night I had a dream
that I was searching through my purse and was very relieved to find
a pack of cigs. I find this amazing considering that the only time
I've tried smoking was as a teen and on more than one occasion they made
me puke.

Glad to know I have company now!!

I never once dreamed about it.

5. reminds me of the best song from Hefner

Hymn for the Cigarettes.

No one called, no one wrote, no one phoned,
So no one knew that I was with her on my own.
She smoked on my bed cause she thought it would annoy me,
But I love to watch the girls smoke in my bed.
I love to watch the girls smoke in my bed.
I love to watch the girls smoke in my bed.

How can she love me when she doesn't even love the cinema that I love.
What does she feel if she doesn't have the feeling that I have in my fingers.
This joy I have could lift this ceiling from its rafters but I'm not laughing.

We feel nothing, so we search for nothing, so we achieve nothing, love.

Lucky Strikes remind me of my friends out on the west coast,
Camel Lights remind me of my ex-girlfriend at Christmas time,
Marlboro Reds remind me of giving up in Berlin,
B&H remind me of not giving up but giving in.
B&H remind me of not giving up but giving in.
B&H remind me of not giving up but giving in.

How can she love me when she doesn't even love the cinema that I love.
What does she feel if she doesn't have the feeling that I have in my fingers.
This joy I have could lift this ceiling from its rafters but I'm not laughing.

We feel nothing, so we search for nothing, so we achieve nothing, love
