Yes, although I am not a physician, I have had the same experience and understand that it is quite common. I have been told that perhaps it is due to the likelihood that when one sleeps under the influence of alcohol or other drugs, there may be a lessening of what is called REM (rapid eye motion) sleep, which often accompanies dreaming. I have also been told that scientists are not entirely sure of why we seem to need REM or dreaming sleep, but it may well be that, as soon as the alcohol and other drugs get out of our system, the brain wants to make up for lost time. It means you're getting well!
In the first few weeks or months of recovery, I recall my dreams being exceptionally vivid and sometimes involving alcohol. Even now, after 21 plus years of sobriety, I sometimes have dreams about booze. I'm certainly thankful when I wake up and realize that I'm still sober! Maybe my higher power is telling me to be always careful, despite all those long years.
