Three days now, little sleep...yet dreams are intense and weird!

I believe we work through core issues in our dreams, and not in some weirdly mystical way, necessarily, but... they are now so very vivid!

I agree with others as well, the morning tiredness of little sleep is not at all the same tired as having sore organs, feeling confused, stuffed sweater-head, and puffy face feeling, red cheeks and bloated eyes, . I guess I got used to the hangover and wasn't physically suffering, but it was just so debilitating in the deep general malaise.

No way to waste a life. (Trying to convince self)

Yeah the dreams once Sober can be quite the ride, especially the confusion upon waking realising all that crazy stuff didn't actually happen.

I wouldn't swap morning tiredness for a hangover, lack of sleep is a much easier gig to persevere through than a 48hr hangover!!

Vivid dreams are common in early recovery. Your brain is getting used to functioning without alcohol and it takes some time to 'settle down'. It will pass.
