I still have them sometimes.. they don't bother me as much as they used to. I'm sure my brain has a lot of leftover 'stuff' swimming around in there when it comes to thoughts and feelings about drinking and everything that came with it. I do love waking up and realizing that it wasn't real, that I'm still sober.. My counselor once said to me that I should just take it as an opportunity for an unconscious reminder of what going back out drinking would feel like.. usually in my 'drinking dreams' I'm hiding it, or regretful or ashamed of it, disappointed in myself, horrified at my choices.. it is kinda nice to experience that type of reality without it being real
