A Strange Dream About Drinkning
I dreamed last night that it was Christmas Day and I had decided to drink.
In the dream, I was going from store to store and into pubs, but I don't actually remember drinking in the dream.
(The dream was inaccurate anyway, you can't buy booze here in Ireland on Christmas Day).
In the dream, I had the usual arguments with myself, but put them to one side like I would normally do on a day when I decide to have a drink.
I felt very relieved when I woke and discovered that I hadn't done it, but a strange feeling stayed with me for hours after.

Yeah I've had my fair share of drinking dreams. What I was told is important is your reaction when you wake up. If you feel disappointed that it was just a dream, you've got some work to do.
But if you wake up in cold sweats, thanking sweet Jesus that it was just a dream, you're on the right track.

I hate drinking dreams. Last night I dreamed that I drank a bunch of wine and then lied about it and said I had three glasses. I can't remember who I was trying to hide it from, but it made me feel ashamed and dishonest.
It wasn't so bad that I couldn't shake it off but sometimes bad dreams can affect me all day.

Me too, last night as well.
What gets me is that I'm having more as I get more Sober. They are so intense, sometimes that even when I wake up, I lay there and really have to have a few minutes of mindfulness - where I am, feel my bed and comforter, listen to my fan, breath, remember my reality.
In a sick way, I like having the dreams because they keep me from forgetting where I've come from, and where I am. It's a relief.
