I had using dreams for the first 3 years or so of my sobriety but they went away. Now, I've been sober for over 8 years. A few months ago I started dreaming that I had a dream of drinking and that I could not figure out if I had relapsed or not. I know, sorta weird, a dream of a dream...I was relieved to wake up and know I had not relapsed because I was extremely anxious in my dream.....D.
