The subjective nature of the analysis of dreams is an important criticism of this view. The best way to prevent drug abuse is by raising awareness of the devastating effects of drugs.
According to Freud, all dreams are expressions of specific wishes (e.g., dreams of food when hungry).
In consequence, Freud believed that the interpretation of dreams is key for the knowledge of the unconscious desires of the mind.
However, there is no objective 'scientific' manner to test (either confirm or reject) a null hypothesis showing that the interpretations of such dreams are accurate.
On the other hand, it has been shown that the most effective way to prevent drug abuse among children and adolescents is by raising awareness of the effects of drugs.
Some useful ways to raise awareness on drug addiction and misuse include: hosting a speaker, reading information about how legal drugs (e.g., alcohol and tobacco) affect the brain, resisting social pressures to the use of both legal and illegal drugs, etc.
