Yeah I'm day 6 too! Started Sunday, and this week has been amazing. I have been so busy though, so it's kept my mind off of it. It's been a stressful week with work, and normally I would've drank every day/ night to block out all the craziness. This week has been epic as far as work stress, so I think it was actually meant to be that I quit drinking because you know what? I'm actually able to think clearly, solve problems, have solutions, and trust myself. I feel so strong right now. AV hung around a bit last night as I cleaned empty alcohol bottles out of the bar at home as we were loading up to take trash and recycle. I used to always take a pull or two (or 5) every time I went downstairs to our bar. Seemed weird walking away, walking back upstairs, without that fuzzy warm feeling (that I liked, or thought I did....but there were just, like, a thousand things I DIDN'T like about it when it went too far, and I need to keep reminding myself of that...because I'd never stop at just one shot stop)...
Anyways, 6 days is great. Im in the same boat as you time wise so I don't know when the nightmares/ dreams go away. I haven't ever really stopped drinking cold like this. However, I must say I'm a bit jealous that ya'll are having dreams because I've been working so hard pulling all-nighters all week that I haven't even had a chance to get a regular nights sleep since I quit drinking. (Like 2- 4 hours of sleep a night, all week. and then we have the toddlers taking turns waking up, during those precious couple hours....so I've gotten no rest!)
I doubt the dream has any deeper meaning as far as you drinking in it. It's probably just that you've been thinking about it so much since quoting that your subconscious is trying to sort it all out and those images come up. Try not to stress!

I'm looking forward to a sober weekend too! My first in I don't know how long! (Besides when I was pregnant with the kids). I'm also looking forward to NOT working, and sleeping! Hopefully restful sleep!
