I know this is probably a common topic. For me, I’m not sure if it’s a “trope” or just totally misinformed writing, but it’s how many authors approach alcoholism. Some examples are Girl on the Train and The House Across the Lake, among HUNDREDS. If anyone else here has struggled with alcoholism, you know it’s not just "i woke up after downing an entire bottle of whiskey but was able to shower, down a cup of coffee, and solve a murder. "

    This is a real dream I had - I wrote it down I I could text it to my sister and my cousin right after I woke up. This was within a few months after my mom died.

    I just woke up from a dream. Mom and I were going to a clothing store but she parked by a taco place. There was a person in a mascot suit carrying a live deer roller skating or skateboarding across the parking lot doing somersaults/flips.

    Yep. That’s my dreams. Lol.
