To dream that you practice abstinence from drinking, sex or any other sort of sensual temptation, is a warning against being over confidant. You need to take things more slowly.
Consciously abstaining from drink or anything else tempting in a dream is an augury of an accident. Abstaining through necessity or deprivation is a happy omen, particularly for women with child.
Another contradictory dream which may seem the exact opposite. To dream that you practice abstinence from drinking or any other sort of sensual temptation can be and should be considered a warning against being over confidant. But to dream that you have to show abstinence out of necessity indicates that great rewards are on their way.
