I was on a train going somewhere and there was a kitchen on the train. I was pouring myself some orange juice ( actually did drink orange juice right before bed) when I suddenly realized no one was around and I grabbed a bottle of vodka and put a little in - thinking in my dream it was wrong but doing it anyway! But right as I was doing that several people walked in but none of them seemed to notice what I was doing so I slid the vodka away and put a cap on the orange juice/vodka mixture and tried to slip away so I could drink it. The people were all happy and talking to me but all I could think about is how I wanted to drink the orange juice/vodka then I woke up..
The weird part is I rarely drank vodka and I never mixed it with orange juice. I'm kind of angry that I've had this stupid dream and now suddenly I have leftover feelings of wanting to drink.
I'm not going to drink but does anyone experience this kind of thing??? How do you cope???
I catch my brain wandering off and day-dreaming about the "good old days" of drinking on the warm balmy patio and playing video games drunk a couple times a week, nothing unusual.
I'm not that far into this, but im guessing these occasional thoughts eventually go away?
Perhaps someone who is farther into their sobriety can answer that one.
