This last week I have been having many urges (since last Sunday mainly to self harm).

I normally have many dreams (lucid ones), I have not dreamed since wed. Last night I dreamed of the self harm that has been giving me urges.

I woke today (sat), and I was looking at my arm thinking I have self harmed. I had not. It was all in a dream, the urge's are real in waking life; I did not harm myself though.
When I woke and found not cut's, I was happy (and amazed too).

To find that my urges are controlled in my dreams was a nice thing to find.

I woke to find myself without cuts, or self harm.

At the moment I do not know where my mind is, I am just glad to find my urges are not manifest in real life.

Thank you PC and friends here. I cannot but place my healing here. (Personally I am lost). With you all though I find help and healing. I found that when I woke to 'no self harm'.

Thank you.
Thanks for this!

I've had that kind of experience. I'm also alcoholic and when sober I have "drunk dreams" I wake up so relieved I didn't really drink but the dreams are so real. I say embrace that feeling of relief and call it up when the urge to si rears its ugly head. I think the urge to si is like a craving. If you "surf the wave" as they say in dbt, the urge passes. They say a craving...for a cigarette or a drink or whatever...passes in a very short time if we don't give it space in our heads. Will be out of town for a week. Know that I am thinking about you. Keep talking and talking and talking.
Thanks for this!
