A lot of 'awareness' things happen throughout Sobriety, and especially in 'new sobriety'. All the emotions, day-to-day life-on-life's-terms events, interpersonal relations, awareness of what's going on around us, etc - are New Experiences when we are no longer 'drowning life out'. The 'dreams' we have are a form of our consciousness 'dealing' with the thoughts, feelings, emotions, memories, etc, and for me, yes they are a part of my sobriety.
It is to be embraced, and life is now a 'new discovery' process (and not all rose blooms - there are the thorns in reality to be discovered and dealt with).
IT IS FOR FREEDOM GOD SET US FREE.
I focus on maintaining where I am on the scale of
1. Recognizing we manufacture our own misery / turmoil out of life's events, or we acknowledge them and face them.
2. We absolutely insist on being Happy, Joyous and FREE.
