Hello, yes it is very common. Do not worry, when you wake up sensation is strange: on one side you feel relax, on the other side you are a frightened because you think you could relapse or, maybe, you are not complete sure you have not drink.
From my side it works next: relax, try to think in my sobriety, think in that dream was only a seem related with the past, and try to focus on present. Past is past.
But I know, it is an strange sensation, as if you could not forget what you were. But now you are sober, and this is the most important thing.
kind regards.

All the time. Iām 5 years sober and still have em, just the other day I had one. Theyāve evolved into a series where the next dream picks up where the last one left off, itās kind of trippy.
Type ādrinking dreamā in the search at the top to see how common it is! Itās an interesting phenomenon.

I had one last night ā¦i was drinking and my mother kept telling me over and over what a disgrace of a human i wasā¦what a terrible mother i wasā¦the sheer dissapointment and pain in her faceā¦exactly how she was with me when i really was in active addiction and i re lived all those feelings of pure worthlessness. I was glad to wake up this morning

Yes, I have had dreams like that. Phew, what a relief to wake up and realize it was just a dream.
The last one I had, I woke up panicked, then relieved that it was only a dream.

Iāve only had 1 drinking dream, Iām newly sober so I could probably expect more. I was out in a theatre watching ballet & drinking cognac Iād never go to watch a ballet & I certainly wouldnāt drink cognac in real life. In my dream i was saying to the face less person who was accompanying me how ridiculous this was lol
When I woke up I was very amused that my brain took me on such a random journey

mine were many. I use to say meth cured me of all my addictions lol. Even alcohol, because once I tried thatā¦nothing else was the same.

Never had a dream where I was drinking, but I can imagine it could be quite unsettling
