Phewwwwww, it was just a dream

15 years ago 0 +0 / -0 278

I was crying when I woke up one night. Thought I had blown it. Around the 3 month mark. Took a while to realize I was dreaming. Guess that was the end of the vivid dreams, but they ended in a doozie!

Tabbyh,

Thanks for sharing your experience. I can definitely say that has happened to me before, but what a sigh of relief when you realize it was all a dream. Rock had a great idea to buy a smoke free sign and post it in your bedroom, a constant reminder and hopefully it would help eliminate the intensity of the dreams.

Keep sharing your quit experiences with us, as there is a good chance you are not alone.

Members, anyone else experience vivid dreams during your quit?

I had those dreams too! Some were so vivid I also thought I blew my quit. I remember somebody telling me to buy one of those $1.00 No Smoking signs and keep it near my bed so it was the last thing I saw before I went to sleep! Just remember that it is only a dream, and that nasty nicodemon will do whatever he can to try to draw you back! But you are in control! Congratulations!

Tabbyh,

I sure do remember those smoking dreams. They seemed so real. Was I ever glad when I woke up!!!!! I haven't had them in a while now, but I used to get them at least once a week.

So its OK, go ahead and pinch yourself, you really are a non smoker!!!!!! Your stats are really adding up!

Cheers,

Jan

Did you ever have a dream where it felt so real ??? Wow... I had a dream last night where I smoked... and kept telling myself it was ok because I was smoking it from a plastic filter?!!!?? Don't know where that came from.

Anyway, it felt so real when I woke up this morning I felt sad and dissapointed in myself and kept thinking I would have to come on here and tell everyone I had slipped....

Well... Thank Goodness that it was just a dream and I am still smoke free..
