Iām 255 days in and still have vivid using dreams. For some reason, I never use in my dream. I always have a cop behind me and get rid of it. Weirdā¦

Itās been a while since I had a drinking dream but just last night I dreamt that I was putting all sorts of used glasses in the dishwasher. In my dream I stopped, looked at them, questioned them, and then decided āit must not have been me drinking, I donāt drink,it must have been my guests.ā I found it amusing that in a dream I stopped and analyzed the drinking situation.
Dreams are completely normal and very common.

Yeah, Iāve definitely had my share of drinking dreams. They used to mess me up for a while after I woke up but now that I know the feeling of them Iām okay. I donāt know if they ever stop but I learned to deal with them differently. Thatās not to say Iām a pro, havenāt had a really bad drinking dream in a while, just kind of ānormalā ones.

My last bad one involved drinking because I was at a music festival to interview an artist and thatās what I was āsupposedā to do. I never ended up meeting said artist and all of a sudden I was completely filled with loathing and anger at myself, as well as fear of what I would smell like when I went back to my actual job in real life, and the start of the worst hangover. In the dream I got as far as packing my shit and preparing to leave before I woke up. That was the worst one of ever had. In the dream there was no sobriety, I was still active in my drinking and it was expected. But then it turned on me and suddenly i WAS in sobriety. I could taste and smell whisky and beer. When I woke up I could taste and smell the stale, day after nastiness.
After that one, Iām not sure i will ever be that phased.
And btw, Iāve never been to a music festival and Iām a restaurant manager. Not anything near a reporter. So fxking weird!

I use to have heavy dreams of using my doc and even pot in the beginning and I would wake up craving to use but one night I had a dream about my doc and I turned it down and I remember just waking up happy. Iāve been saying it for so long awake that it finally processed into my dream

Itās a scary feeling tho, waking up and thinking u used. I have to take drug tests too and it has scared the shit out of me before.
I had a dream last night where I was at a work function and very drunk and I was making very inappropriate comments to the CEO and other upper management folks. In my dream I thought everyone was on the same āwave lengthā as me, but as a 3rd person observer, they were annoyed and angry at my behavior. I woke up and felt disgusted and embarrassed because that is something I would have done in a past life. It sucks, but serves as a reminder.

So, after posting 3 days ago how much better i was handling dreams, I got emotionally kicked in the face. Had the mother of all using dreams last night and my day has been out of whack. Guess a wakeup call was in order and my mind DEFINITELY provided it. Ughh!

I have these dreams about smoking weed ALL the time! Iām 6 months clean and should be just as far along with the alcoholā¦ but I struggle far more with that. Iāve restarted my counter and Iām almost at 3 days sober; but even yesterday I had a drinking dream and felt just as guilty as if though Iād failed myself. Truth is, although I experience the drinking and guiltā¦ Iād much rather experience it in my dreams having felt both the satisfaction of the experience and knowing it was followed by guilt than to have had any of it been a reality. I see it as a coping mechanism.
I totally feel you on that one
