Good morning
I’m not sure if anyone else experiences this or has in the past. I’ve been having these recurring dreams or to me nightmares that I was supposed to be somewhere important or someone was coming over. And I was shitfaced drunk. These dreams get me to wake up in the middle of the night, and I have to touch my face to feel that I’m not super flushed and set up to make sure I’m not dizzy and hung over or still feeling it from hours prior. These haven’t happening every night the last four nights.

Oh yesss, the drunk dreams!!!
So strange aren’t they!!!
I’ve always had them but I guess our subconscious likes to remind us who we are when we’re sleeping too 
I tend to wake up now and think yay, no hangover.
Try some guided sleep meditations to clear your mind and unwind properly before sleep

That’s the thing. Waking up and knowing your not is such a relief

I have dreams like this all the time! I opened this app today because I had one. It’s a terrible way to wake up but I am so relieved that the anxiety I felt during the dream were things I do not have to deal with while I’m awake. Maybe it’s a nice way for us to remember why we’re getting sober?

Yes that too, in the dream you feel so let down, pissed at yourself for letting it happen. Especially in the dream your supposed to do something important and can’t. But waking up you end up feeling great
Those dreams/nightmares used to shake me to the core. I don’t know how far along you are in your journey but they’re very common in the early days. If you do a search using the magnify glass at the top, you’ll find dozens of topics about them. Now that I have time under my belt, I very rarely have one but when I do, I step up my recovery game.

Do you think they are your subconscious way of making you go back or not? To me it makes me NOT want to

Nowadays, yes I think it’s my subconscious thinking about going back out. In the early days, I think it was me grieving the loss and the adjustment to my new sober way of life.

Nothing like a drinking dream to welcome you to sobriety!
I used to get them all the time, and still do occasionally.
You learn to live with them. I use them as a warning, so at least they serve a purpose.
