I only ever have REALLY in-depth, weird, detailed dreams, most of which I can't entirely remember, but some parts stick with me.
...well, last night I had this dream (these parts are not in chronological order and are only what I can remember):

Beware, this inexplicably farfetched.

Okay, the main figure of my dream was my ex-best friend who cut out of my life for absolute unknown reasons, not too long ago.
Certainly this has been bothering me, since she won't talk to me...
In my dream she was drinking, even though she never drank in her life.
It seems her drink was laced with something.
She started feeling the effects of something as she was writing a letter to someone I don't know? She was writing the letter so that you'd have to hold it up to a mirror to see it. One of the things she wrote in the letter, itself, was something like "yeah, I feel myself slipping into the heroin". ...

In another part of my dream, she had moved away, and had left but, one bag... and it had some sort of lock on it? I believe this bag was in a locker in my school. I sat in class trying to unlock it and the teachers kept yelling at me and deterring me... eventually I got it all open. All I remember from inside were more letters, backwards, addressed to people I don't know, unfinished. I believe there was some sort of drug paraphernalia to do with her fix. I remember her being drunk or basically fucked up the whole time.

In ANOTHER section of my dream that was totally separate, I was with another friend of mine who was also extremely drunk, for some reason. We were sitting in the alcove of my grandparents' restaurant and he was typing to someone on a laptop. At one point, he was going to leave and walk somewhere farther but decided he was too drunk and that he'd just stay with me. We commuted to the kitchen and I found my father smoking (he quit in real life). I scorned him and he said, "who are you to talk?". It seemed he and others were working on some sort of renovation in the kitchen and they were all extremely tired and drenched with sweat.

This dream makes no sense; none of my dreams do. This isn't the complete recount, unfortunately.
Can someone make something of this... crazy medley of thoughts... or at least give an opinion? I'm curious to see what people think here.

Furthermore, I don't understand how people have dreams like, "I was sitting in my room, reading the newspaper" while all this is going on in my head.

 Lastly, I'd like to point out that I wasn't present for the first part of the dream. Does anyone else have dreams where they're simply... not there?

Yeah, my dreams have a tendency to cut out to random parts. Perhaps the last part was nothing spectacular, but it was the first two parts that I was rather concerned about. She wasn't even in the last part. -shrug-

Oddly enough, we're still friends and she has long deleted him from her life. Weird.

Psyko, right on. Good analysis.

I was about to take out my dream book!

The name being the same links you back to your old friend.

I also have dreams where I'm not present. Such a weird, strange feeling. Quite often, I don't even know the people involved and am onlooking from my world to theirs. It having absolutely nothing to do with me.

Question: Do your dreams all synchronize to a specific feeling, time or place or are they all more random (no specific ties to real life situations)?

Did you ever do drugs or have trouble with alcohol? People who are kicking of off drugs ussualy have very intense dreams for a few months. It might be a cause.
