Trippy Dreams
Trippy Dreams
I've been clean for nearly two weeks and have been experiencing intensely vivid dreams, some nightmares and some not. It's funny that I never had such vivid dreams, even when on some really good drugs. Sobriety is quite a trip.

Welcome, glad you've joined us. I think the wild vivid dreams are pretty normal for us. My experience is that they lessened as time passed but I still have them occasionally. They're a reminder of a time I never want to return to.
This past Saturday was not a good night. Had one of those acidy waking dream things going on - no visuals but extremely tripped out with feelings of dread and death. I could not focus on the moment to save my life. I had no choice but to ride it out, uncomfortable as it was. It was the first time in my sobriety that I have cried.
Together we’re better!

Agree! My bad dreams have stopped since giving up alcohol. I don’t understand the connection, but greatly welcome peaceful sleep 😴
