Relapse
I was in San Francisco with some people. We were bar hopping I like these casino light bars. There was this central guy that was doing drugs but I was just drinking beers out of pint glasses. He was annoying. I left them an was on a brightly lit bus at night with other people. There was a group behind me with a guy reading a book about the tarot. I got off the bus and went upstairs to an AA meeting. I talked about the people I was with but lied about drinking. I was then at Nick’s apartment. It was the same as it had been for years. He drove a big truck out of town so Kirsten and I could stay there. I found keys in the kitchen. I knew he’d might be upset we stayed there but didn’t care. Another dream I was putting on a show with taiko drumming. Thomas came out to play odaiko naked. He played terribly and was drunk. There were complaints about his conduct too. I had to get the taiko drums back to a troupe in another town and had a lot to deal with including addressing Thomas

The setting of San Francisco could symbolize a place of freedom and liberation, but also a city known for its tolerance of alternative lifestyles and behaviors. The bars and casino lights represent temptation and excess, with the central figure doing drugs symbolizing the allure of addiction. Your choice to stick to drinking beer in the dream could indicate a desire to maintain some control and avoid the spiral of addiction.

Boarding a brightly lit bus at night with strangers may symbolize a journey towards self-awareness and enlightenment. The presence of a group discussing tarot could signify a search for deeper meaning and guidance in your life. Attending an AA meeting in the dream suggests a recognition of the need for support and accountability in dealing with addiction. However, lying about your drinking may indicate a struggle with honesty and denial about the extent of your issues. Nick's apartment symbolizes a familiar and comfortable space, but your disregard for his potential feelings could signal a lack of concern for the impact of your actions on others. Finding keys in the kitchen may represent a sense of agency and independence in exploring your past and present relationships. The dream scenario of putting on a taiko drumming show with Thomas playing odaiko naked and drunk could represent a sense of vulnerability and exposure in intimate relationships.
