Lucid dreaming and opiate withdrawal

[SluttyPeach]

If this isn't the correct place for this I apologize, and I did use the search engine but could not find anything related to this. I have been going through mild to moderate opiate withdrawals for about 5 days and last night I had what is referred to as a lucid dream. After the initial insomnia goes away and I am able to sleep with the aid of benzos and phenergan it almost always happens. Keep in mind that this isn't the first time I've been like this and had this happen and I was wondering if anyone else has had similar experiences.

Oh yeah, trippy dreams are quite common for opiate withdrawals. You didn't specify what opiates you're clucking from tho? The thing with opiates, is even if you manage to get to sleep, it's no real escape because you're still sick in your sleep; your body knows it's had it's pain receptors fucked with in a huge way, and it's gonna remind you of that, whether asleep or awake; when I was coming off smack and was lucky enough to sleep, it would be a light, restless sleep, punctuated with nightmares. In short: I was just as bad awake or asleep.

I wish I was having dreams at all.... I have tried to get clean 5x on my own with Subs, Thomas method ect. I have now surprisingly been clean for 3 weeks. Longest time in 7 years. I thankfully had almost no physical withdrawals just now dealing with the depression and insomnia. Getting B6 and L-tyronon (?) I have it written down. Lucid dreams are expected and normal. I went out of state and got the Naltrexone implant. Best thing I have ever done. This isn't rapid detox. I am so thankful I got the implant, naltrexone shots, medication to avoid the physical. I was so sedated I said and did things I still have no recollection of. A 24 hour nurse was present too. Not going to say it wasn't and still isn't hard, still not sleeping well even with aids. Dropped 12lbs (I'm tiny as it is) but my appetite is back, I keep myself busy with work fiancé and friends and remind myself what I DONT want to go back to again. I wish more people were talking about Naltrexone. Legit saved my life.
