Smoking Dream

I took a nap this afternoon and had a smoking dream that my ex-husband
appeared in...

I did not just smoke one cigarette -- I smoked two. I was apparently
drinking gobs of something vodkaish too - it tasted great in the dream!

I kept thinking "Oh noes, I fucked up and have to go report to AS3." I
was crying and just all around pissed off until my ex-husband appeared
and then I realized that it was only a dream.

I watered down the pack of cigs and threw them away and woke up.
Interesting how at almost 6 years quit (with no smoking dream in years)
- that out of the blue and for no reason it appeared again. I honestly
think that once having been a smoker has set a certain part of my brain
to be receptive to this addiction and forever vulnerable -- if only in a
dream.

Phewwwwwwwww

Hell of a New Year, got to drink lots off Vodka, cuss out your ex, and
smoke a few cigarettes and no regrets today. 8-) Haven't had a
smoking dream for awhile, but bet you felt good when you woke up and
couldn't find the evidence.

I think that is right, like it makes changes in the brain that will
always want nicotine. Thankfully it isn't often for me, but it does
come out in dreams at times.

I wonder if you can figure out what triggered it.

Interesting. From time to time, I have a dream where I'm smoking, but
it isn't the main focus. I'm just in a situation talking to people and
doing it automatically as I used to do.

Ewwwwww Yuck!
Yah, I wonder what triggers these
randomly. And after so many years Bev.
You may be onto something though about
your brain theory.

For me, dreams are a random thing. I most often dream about still being
on active duty in the Navy and I've been retired from that career since
1985! So when smoking is in one of my dreams, it doesn't surprise me.
That was a big part of my life for many more years than the 22 1/2 I did
in the Navy. But the dreams vary in intensity and are sometimes somewhat
disconcerting; especially when I get my wives all mixed up - lol.

I think I'd call that one a nightmare, Bev! Smoking & ex'es. Yikes!
