Going on 9 days sober. I had a dream last night that I slipped up and drank again. It felt so real that when I woke up I really had to think if I really did and it scared me for a moment. I didn’t but wow what an initial shock. Anyone else experience this at first?

I have definitely also experienced this, so u are not alone 
it felt sooo real and it took me a few moments to get a grasp on reality after waking up. Thankfully they are just dreams

Drinking and using dreams are very common in early sobriety. They scared that crap out of me so bad that I woke up feeling guilty and it lasted the entire day. If you use the magnify glass at the top, you’ll find numerous topics about drinking dreams.
