So real....

[PorkandPancakes]

Well I woke up today not only convinced I'd smoked a cigarette, but instead convinced I had smoked MANY cigarettes and resumed full time smoking! It always happens the same way in my dreams. I'm involved doing something and I roll and smoke a cigarette before I even realise I'm doing it. By the time I've smoked half of it, I realise what I'm doing and I'm enjoying it so much, I carry on. Then I keep doing it. It's not even fair! Where's the horrible taste? Where's the coughing? Where's the head spin and nausea? Where's the dry cotton wool in mouth feeling? I want to scream at my subconscious, "IF YOU WILL INSIST ON SMOKING DREAMS, GET IT RIGHT!!!!"

 

Lol. So at least it's stupid dreams and not real.

How's everybody else's Monday?

Good morning!  Your addiction is talking to you in your sleep...but in my experience, the dreams come farther and farther apart...you are doing great!

Hey HC.... Those dreams suck...

 

I remember waking up feeling guilty and wondering how I was going to break it to my wife that I smoked....

 

It seems so real ...

 

Except...like you said, the taste, coughing , burning ect were not present......there is NOTHING pleasant about sucking hot smoke into your lungs..

 

it seemed once I KNEW this quit was for real, the dreams stopped...

 

You ARE non-smoker now, so those dreams will soon stop....

 

Well done for recognizing the dream for what it was..

 

Moving forward with your eye on the prize.. :)

I was lucky...I didn't have any....but a good few people here have...

I can only imagine the disappointment you feel...until you reolize it isn't real...

So I will say all is normal....just another way forward ...

It could have been worse....you could of dreamt of bakon....

So feel pleased..lol...

Good signs. Your subconscious is getting its head around the new reality. As time goes on, they become less frequent. Keep on keeping on!

Yep, standard way for the brain to remind you what you're not doing and how big it is. Sorry for how horrid they are but pleased it's only a dream. x

Last night, I dreamed that the Sarge started smoking again, and he was all trying to blow it off like it was no big deal, saying stuff like "I'm still quit, I just smoked a few."

 

Our Jimmy was like, "Oh no, I give up, if Sarge started again, no one will ever be able to quit forever."

 

LOL  Silly dreams.  The sure do feel real though. 

 

Happy you are still a non-smoker Hot Cakes. :)

Aw, as usual it's great hearing all your answers. It really is comforting knowing there is somewhere I can go and tell random smoking tales knowing people will understand!

It's hard to get people in everyday life to listen or take seriously how much "stuff" surrounds a quit isn't it. Pleased you felt re assured. x
