Opium dreams refer to vivid and often surreal hallucinations or visions experienced by individuals under the influence of opium or its derivatives. These dreams can be characterized by intense emotions, fantastical imagery, and a distorted sense of reality.

They serve as a metaphor for escapism and the profound impact of drugs on the human psyche.
