For the past couple of days I have had dreams about drinking. When I do take a drink (in the dream) I feel instant remorse. And then I wake up, still feeling remorse. Has anyone had something similar to this? What could this mean?

Dreams leave you with real emotion, so it makes sense that that emotion would linger once you’re awake. Sounds like you’re fearful of a relapse and your brain is dreaming about it. Very common, friend.

You’re not alone! This is one of the most common topics of early sobriety, if the most common.
I’ve been sober for over 3 years and I still get them fairly frequently. It’s kind of like the last thing I think about before I sleep haunts my dreams. Don’t worry about it, they will go away or you’ll get used to them.
