Heavy sleeping after detoxing?

Is it common to have vivid dreams after the detoxing period?

My detoxing period was just a few nights, as I'm a habitual evening drinker but not a heavy drinker. While I'm all done with the night sweats and uneasiness feeling, I've been having really intense dreams and sleeping like a rock these last few nights. Last night I woke up to my wife screaming at me about the dog with the front door wide open. I couldn't tell if I was dreaming or not. In my head, I thought that I had left the door open and the dog had gotten out, which had resulted in the scolding I was receiving at 4am. In reality, my wife was simply letting the dog out to go to the bathroom, and after the 3rd time I asked her what she was doing she started yelling at me out of frustration. I don't remember talking to her at all. I only remember waking up to being yelled at? It's like I'll enter this half awake half asleep zombie state when I'm first woken up. It's almost like sleep walking. I'm typically the type of person that wakes up on a dime.

Anyone else experience this and for how long? I'm a couple weeks in with a 2 day relapse in the middle. I was originally just "taking a break," but after failing to go 30 days without drinking and experiencing DT's, I decided I want to be done fore good, as I feel my drinking addiction has gotten to the point that it controls me.
