first sober dream about drinking

I had this dream last night - actually it was part of a dream where i was organizing my grade school holiday fair and Billie Joe from Greenday told me he wanted to dress in a santa suit - but the part that matters here is that I went into a bar and ordered a glass of wine, but then remembered I am an alcoholic. I almost took the glass and drank it, but remember telling myself- this is real, you cant drink. you are an alcoholic. Then I woke up.

34 days alcohol free!

i woke up wondering what brought that on!

Drinking dreams are pretty common, any

My own totally non-scientific theory - I did a lot of drinking...sometimes a little memory bubble breaks the surface of my subconscious and gets interpreted in wild and whacky ways

I never attached any real meaning to them

Any, I am well over a year sober and I still get those dreams sometimes. I don't think you should necessarily assign any meaning to it, other than to be glad they are just dreams

Side note: I have been a vegetarian for over six years and I still get similar dreams about eating meat, too.

Congrats on 34 days sober! The drinking dreams will become less common as you get more sober time. It's normal.

Drinking dreams are a rite of passage. I've been sober for 13 months and I still get them sometimes.
