I had one of those drinking dreams last night. In dream I was like I wont have to tell anyone that I drank then my feelings in the dream are like you will know that you did. I suppose this was a healthy dream. I woke up sober and wiser. That next slip is still a drink away. This is a good thing in that it will keep me on my toes. Anyone else had one of these drinking dreams lately.

I think they are reminders to us JT - my sponsor thinks it is our disease reminding us about drinking and I think it is our HP warning us to not get too complacent. I hear people have them long into sobriety.

Either way, they are horrid to have and it is so thankful when we wake up and get relief :)

Not for a long time but I remember very clearly the last one i had. I kept playing it back in my mind to re-feel it all, until I suddenly realised what I was doing!

There is only one thing in common with all my dreams like that and that is that I never am able to drink normally in any of 'em, yet that last time it felt so damn seductive!

What's weird for me is in my 'drunk dreams' I never drink the drinks I used to? I was a 'wino' and the last drunk dream was mango liqueur with pineapple chunks in it (?? go figure) and the one before that was Budweiser (one of the few lagers I didnt like the taste of!).

I like waking up to a day sober and grateful :)

It has been a long while since I had one of these. I am not actually taking a drink in the dream it is the associated feelings of guilt after I would drink that I feel.

I had one of those a week or so ago, before new years anyway. I dreamt I was drinking beer and woke up terrified, shaking.

What really gets me on these dreams is the emotion that bleeds in them. It was about 4 months ago I had a drinking dream in which my ex wife told me it is ok to drink. I woke up angry from that dream. In reality she claimed my drinking is why she left. Perhaps there is a hidden resentment there.

I had a drinking dream last night too. I dreamed that I was rummaging through the freezer to snag 2 beers for a friend & I. (freezer? what?-- anyway, I put them in my purse got in my car & drove away.. That's all I remember. I never got to that part of ever drinking it.

OUCH!!!

I have those dreams from time to time. In mine, I'm always being caught drinking and trying to come up with an excuse and I wake up feeling embarrassed and ashamed as if it was reality. That's when I need a coffee IV drip to wake me up and get me back to my real mind. I hate those dreams, you still feel so ashamed don't ya?
