Dreams are interesting to me, some make sense some none at all, maybe something in your subconscious was thinking about it. Google is your friend, maybe look up understanding dreams. I have never had one where I was drinking so I am not really sure.
You can have reasons, or you can have results, but you can't have both.

I'm in "dream mode" too. It happens. I hear it can happen even years later.
Don't sweat it. It's a dream. You'll never have a hangover or a DWI from drinking in a dream.

Congrats on your sobriety! I've had similar dreams, it's common. Did you run into someone recently you used to drink with? Maybe something in your subconscious you repressed in waking hours. Dream interpretations are actually pretty fascinating.

My dreams portray in symbolic terms how alcohol has affected my life, and the challenges of recovery.
In general, dreams for me provide a kind of commentary on my life. I like that I'm having these dreams now. It shows me that my subconscious mind is taking sobriety seriously.

the first time my brother got sober he went for 2 years before his next drink, he's been sober now again for about 3 months. the first time round he used to have nightmares where he'd caved in and was drinking with friends or something. It was like an anxiety dream.

I had a ton of those dreams early on in sobriety. They are few and far between now, but I still have them from time to time. Had one the other night in fact. I'm 3.5 years sober....as long as they are "just dreams" they won't bother me one bit!

sounds like me Airwick for well over a year I didn't get a drinking dream I think I've had less than 3 but thought it was strange in previous dreams ppl have offered me to drink & I've been angry at the person as they know I'm sober
they do fade
