Dreamt last night that it was new years eve. Somehow, I started drinking although it wasn't clear in the dream how I started - dangerous!! Anyway, I come round a few days later - ugh. Behind me was a chaotic mess that I didn't understand because I couldn't remember it, just snippets. Double ugh. This is definatley a warning as I am wishing to socialise a little bit more again, so I am quite grateful for this dream. Hell is only that one drink away. I can never get complacent about the power of alcohol.
One completely redeeming factor though was my past boyfriend was in it. He died about twelve years ago now, but I love the odd dream I have with him in because I am with him again, and he was just fantastic!! A beautiful man.

I have had drinking dreams so real that when i wake up i try to determine what mood my wife is in by the way she is laying in bed and i have even checked the floor to see if i have urinated on it and the odd time i have had to ask her if i did.
Over time these dreams have changed and i had none after 4 years sober then this year i had a dream but i knew i was dreaming and at first i drank normally and then the sh#t hit the fan and all hell broke loose.
The difference between the dreams is the first ones were my addiction wanting what it was loosing via my subconscious dreaming and this last dream was my subconscious showing me what will happen if i dare to drink.
The beauty of all this is how my subconscious has changed along with my conscious thoughts, it works if i work at it.
Next time you dream as you are dreaming start looking around and seeing what is around you in the dream and what messages are there, believe me it does work.

Thankyou. x
Wow. At least you can REMEMBER having them now, huh? I sleep much more restfully now, even though I think I sleep much lighter. Of course, there's a grande difference between passing out and waking up with a hangover, and sleeping good restful REM sleep!
I woke at 3:30 this morning--for no apparent reason--and was thinking about something very innocuous like some comment made at a meeting or making sure my shoes were polished for a meeting this morning or something, and it was OKAY. I'd have been mad as hell just a few short months ago because it likely would have been due to quitting drinking--just for a day--and my entire system screaming out for alcohol!
I've been getting up with the birds and running lately--two things I could not POSSIBLY have managed while in my height of drink. I absolutely LOVE MY LIFE TODAY and thank MY HP for the blessings sobriety today has brought. I can only IMAGINE what my SU thinks!
Oops. A bit off topic--it's all about me... I never figured out how to interpret my dreams so I'd wash them away each night before bed. I actually think that if I dreamt about a past experience it might be a good thing--'cause then I'd remember what I did!
