Abstract :Drug-related dreams (DD) are dreams experienced by addicted individuals during withdrawal or recovery processes, containing various content related to substance use. Nowadays, it has been suggested that drug-related dreams have a two-way prognostic value, positively and negatively influencing individuals\' desires for substance use. While DDs are routinely implemented as a relapse prevention strategy in some addiction clinics abroad, the clinical significance of such dreams has not been sufficiently recognized in our country yet. This editorial aims to provide definitions of these types of dreams and offer practical recommendations for implementation in addiction clinics in our country, which could be significant.Keywords : Madde bağlantılı rüya, Relaps, bağımlılık
