Horn95 so much of what you say resonates with me .
The strange instant dreams almost as if the dream has started before im asleep .
I read into this and its one of many strange symptoms of anxiety but it does settle down in time . Try not to worry about it which only fuels the fire .
I,m going through a stage where my anxiety symptoms have went off the scale again but seeking help . Try not to think too much about your sleep just let it happen . I am on day 9 sober after a few months of on and off binges .
I hope you improve and let it take as long as it takes , go with the feeling without fear and you will get there .
