I was sober for 10 years. Even after that length of time, I still had dreams of getting drunk. I don't think it will ever leave us. The fact that I was sober for 10 years and went back to drinking 5 years ago is proof to me. I too have had a dream that I was dreaming and thought I woke up but I was still dreaming. Strange feeling. Day 15 for me by the way. This time it is forever. I pray for it anyway.
