I Had A Dream - SoberRecovery : Alcoholism Drug Addiction Help and Information

HERRERA · 06-01-2008, 07:44 AM

I am assuming, this is the right forum. I had a dream about being around other people who were smoking crack cocaine, and when I was offerred a hit, it didn't taste like crack, it seemed so real man, I was complaing in the dream that was some bullshit dope. When I woke up, I was happy it was only a dream. Today is day number 28. Someone told me that those kinds of dreams, are apart of Post Acute Withdrawl Symptoms. What do you think?
I'm going to get ready for work now, Be back tonight.

Everyone have a blessed day...................................

They are "using dreams" or "drunk or drug dreams". Common in early recovery - I have 22 years and have had one within the last year.

The early ones were absolutely frightening because I would wake up and think I had used.

HERRERA-
Have you read A Million Little Pieces?
James Frey talks about these sorts of dreams all the time. He would wake up and throw up bile and blood because it all seemed so real.
If you are only on day 28 then it's no wonder you are still dreaming of it.
I guess because you have taken away your drug, your cravings are being manifested through dreams.
I'm sure after a while these will go away and hopefully you can have a better night's sleep.
