dreams

I had a crazy dream last night.  I don't recall what we had done, but a group of friends and I did something terrible that we needed to run away forever to avoid going to jail.  At one point after we were far away, I started to cry because I knew I had given up everything...my career, my family.  I asked my friends what to do because I wanted to go back and have everything back the way it was.  They didn't know the answer.  I fell to my knees, crying hysterically and screaming that I wish I believed in God so that I could ask for guidance.
I woke up and was happy to still be here.  My life isn't perfect but I've worked hard and want to be as successful as possible.
I'm not sure what the dream meant.....a reminder of why my drinking needs to be controlled?  To be grateful for what I have and to not let my drinking end up getting in the way of my success and my relationships?
How does someone come to believe in God anyway.....I'd like to give it a try....
