let me remember:

I perhaps can relate at a different level. When I would withdrawal I would get the horrid, dark dreams (usually 1-2nd day). They would be so scary that in the dream I knew it was a dream & forced myself awake (scared, sweaty mess). I would try & stay awake. It was almost like the movie "Nightmare on Elm Street". So vivid I didn't want to dream anymore.

But unlike you these happened when I'd be dozing off/try to fall asleep/in the middle of the night. I believe it was my sane mind fighting my alcoholic brain trying to make sense.

I've gone thru many at home withdrawals. Each time was worse than the other. Only you can know your own body and make the decisions that you know you need.

Best wishes to you.
Imagine those dreams being there everytime you close your eyes communicating directly with you. Part of me wishes everyone had these haulcinations when detoxing..great motivator to stop.

I had the nightmare dreams when I finally got some sleep. They finally faded after waking up from 2-3 of them.

Detoxing is no fun, the paranoia, heightened sense of fear and the emotional rollercoaster part is enough to drive anyone crazy.
