Dreams

[JustQuit83]

Anyone have dreams about smoking when they first quit?  I know vivid dreams are a thing with wearing patches. Had a dream last night that I was telling everyone I quit, but was sneak smoking. It seemed so real! When I woke up I had that feeling that I relapsed. The mind really is a crazy place. Lol. After I got my bearings I was good and the day hasn't been bad so far. Just weird experience. Here's to Day 4!

yep.  I had smoking dreams quite often.  I think it's a fairly common reaction to quitting.  I decided to attribute it to my brain rewiring itself to being a nonsmoker

Yes - went through similar dreams in the beginning.

It's called the Nicodemon.

 

You will find him everywhere in your first weeks of quitting he will try any ploy to get you smoking again so your brain gets a fix of nicotine again.

 

You must recognise him when he tries to persuade or trick you onto having just one puff or just one cigarette.If you can recognise him when he tries to trick you you can resist him more easily.As they guys here say your never more than 1 puff away from 20 a day (  again.)

 

Goodluck with the quit.Stsy close to the.quit train there's lots of advice available from the people here.

I can still remember the joy when I still had my quit intact .

Oh yes, the patches REALLY effed with my dreams! (Because you are getting a constant nicotine supply while asleep… to prevent you from waking up in withdrawal.) Wild, extravagant, improbable, intense, epic, ridiculous stuff. It gets better at the lower doses. 

 

But it’s ever so lovely to have a waking reality that is smoke free.

 

Meanwhile, major congrats on Day 4. You are DOING this!!!
