Dreams?
Hi all. I am on Day 17. Past couple of nights, I have been dreaming about drinking. So vivid. I dreamed that I was at the liquor store. I bought a 6 pack of Bud (haven't touched Bud in 3yrs + it was cans, I always preferred bottles). I also bought a little guy of Dickel's whiskey (not even sure if this comes in small bottles). This is weird too, I preferred Beam. Anyway... I drank them, I tasted them in the dream so vividly.
Cool part was I that I got so p.o.'d at myself for drinking and I was mad that I was going to have to start over again.
Bummer is, all day long today, all I can "taste" is whiskey.
Anybody else have dreams like this?

Ooooooh yes. You, me and everyone I know. Drinking dreams are ubiquitous. I have no idea why, but tons of people get them. And they can be very vivid. Many times I've woken up believing what I dreamed was real.
Yup...I've had them. Most people who post here say when they wake up they are mad that they f'd up...so I think its positive usually. Whiskey is nasty tasting stuff...sorry you are tasting it all day...I guess you liked it though...try and associate the taste with throwing it up...works for me:-)
I think it's good sign that we feel bad about drinking, even if only in a dream. I hope the only place I relapse IS in my dreams.

Yeah, definitely had those dreams. And you're right, they are so vivid. I can actually smell and taste the alcohol. Luckily, I also feel guilt, remorse, anger and other emotions in my dreams. Drinking dreams for me always include negative feelings; I always know that my drinking was wrong. Often when I wake up from such a dream, I'm still upset with myself for a few moments, until I realize what's going on. Those dreams help me. It's bad enough to have those feelings while I'm asleep. I certainly don't want to have them while I'm awake.
Yes, I've had many of those. I often drink among family members who disapprove and am confronted by them. Very disconcerting to wake up to these types of thoughts. They are very vivid dreams.
Also, I have a tendency to have very highly detailed dreams that may not involve alcohol, but leave me feeling confused and disturbed when I wake up. Their "story lines" are usually weird or scary.
I know it passes after a little while, but I'm back in the saddle (dream-wise) so I feel like I'm being read my psychological rights all night long. Not fun!

I get phantom tastes. The other day I was just sitting eating breakfast or something normal. And I got a taste in my mouth like the morning after a big wine binge (ie - every morning in my old life). Bleugh.
