Thank you for your input ken and lessgravity. I have had more withdrawals from alcohol over the last 20 years than I can even attempt to count. I have had visual and auditry hallucinations. I have had vivid, lucid disturbing dreams, I have seen faces come out of the walls. You name it, short of the DTs.
I did try to convince myself it was a nightmare. But I know it wasn't
Infact, the sort of dreams you are talking about, I had the first 2 nights after I stopped drinking this time. By the 5th night this time, I slept like a baby.
You of course are entitled to your point of view, and I thank you both for your perspective
I know what this was, and I know what this wasn't.
The other nightmarish images and dreams, just scared the crip out of me at the time, and then were quickly forgotton. The other stuff other times was just horror for the sake of horror, a poisoned brain trying to recover.
This has shifted something in me, something massive and something for the good. It has turned out to be a healing experience.
So I hope you will be happy for me
Good luck to you both
