Dreams of a Former Pot Addict
My drug of choice was pot, and I smoked a lot of it every day for many years.
When I finally quit, I started having dreams about pot. I suspect this is common for addicts of all varieties.
At first the dreams involved getting high with one of my smoking buddies. I often woke up in a sweat, feeling like all my efforts at staying sober were lost. Realizing it had all been a dream was always a huge relief. Still, I had a lot of these dreams for the first month or two.
Now after 4+ months of no pot, the dreams are starting to change. In my most recent dream, I was cleaning a pipe and noticing how bad it smelled and how dirty my fingers were getting. The smoking buddy in my dream suggested getting high, and I remember looking at my watch and thinking "it's only 8am - that will ruin the rest of the day. I'll just stay stoned and I'll get nothing done."
Obviously, my thinking has changed. The new patterns in my life have taken root, even in my dreams. And that's a very good feeling.
