Dreams About Drugs

[Pilll_head]

I'll start by stating the obvious - that recurring dreams about my drug habit are probably not a healthy sign but my guess is that other users have them as well. Most of these I have are not particularly pleasant and usually involve my stash getting discovered/stolen by someone I know. Last night after bedtime the police arrived at the building I live in and did a top-to-bottom search for contraband. I came home to find everyone out in the lobby all up in arms over it. The stuff that got seized had been posted on the internet and of course my supply of hydro was there. However, it was listed under a brand name called " Solubidamol". I don't have the slightest idea what that is or how that got into my head, the closest thing I can figure is what I know about the partial opioid agonist tramadol. So then this woman stoops over and starts gazing at my iPhone screen and says " You'll never get that back." I proceeded to tell her that she was being nosy and that she probably wouldn't want people peeping at what was on her iPhone.

Drug dreams are the worst, and I kind of would like to disagree on the fact that you feel they are "probably not a healthy sign" because dreaming in general is healthy for you. Your brain needs to dream in order to sort out its subconscious thoughts from throughout the day. So no matter now negative or scary a dream can be, I still feel it's a healthy process. (I suppose night terrors would be an exception).. but really, having dreams about drugs, especially if you are trying to quit, is inevitable, and I feel it can have a lot to do with your brain healing itself.

My drug dreams usually consist of me losing my drugs, and failing to find them before I wake up, or taking them and they don't have any effect, then I wake up before I feel the drugs kick in. It really sucks, I'm always around drugs in my dreams but I never get to do them. My brain just loves to torture me.
