when you detox off opiates do you constantly dream about getting high?

This is going to sound a little weird, but I've always been obsessed with counting and numbers. For example, I can't drive without taking note of every single thing sticking out of the ground (I count every fire hydrant, telephone pole, sign, whatever) and assigning them to groups of four.

The first couple weeks after stopping opiate use, my dreams become completely focused on numbers of opiates. Like I'll dream about getting them at weird, ridiculous prices and strange numbers and amounts. So I know what you're talking about and it frustrates the hell out of me.
 
Just tapering, but I was quite sick when I woke up.
Dream:
I had 2 bags in my pocket and a bag of soft someone gave me. It took me a while to retrieve it from my bag cause all the lights in every room were broken. Then I finally get it together, but someone's in the bathroom.... I end up waking up before the bathroom gets cleared out.
After waking I'm so sad that I have no speedball waiting for me. I hate that!
 
I often have the fight scenario dreams as well, full of pansy ass slow motion punches that wouldn't hurt a five year old girl.

I dreampt last night that I was in the northeast, and someone whom I was with had purchased a stamped bag, (I've never actually seen a stamped bag up close...) and they wanted me to test the contents. I began unfolding the bag and instead of it being small, 0.1g or so, it was huge, like an ounce or more of off-white powder. I chopped out a small line, but before I could test it, something happened, of course, and I found myself in some other less desirable scenario. Ridiculous.
 
Nope, I don't crave them during the several w/d's i've had I feel too terrible to even bother (and amen to the not being able to sleep - so no dreaming going on).

The only thing that gets me thinking about it is that taking a simple pill could end the opiate withdraw.
 
I have dreams about using every time I quit using anything..
But right now, I am a brand new opiate addict. I have been using opiates via IV for about a year and a half non stop. Now I wish to detox and attempt to get my life back.
Currently I am using K2 dillies 4 times a day. But I have been shooting either 2 80 mg oxycontin per day or 4 30 mg morphine per day. I get withdrawl at around 12 hours after I stop using.
Any advice on detox will be helpful. what can I do to lessen the pain and horror of abstenance?
how long does it take? I cant get out of bed without 2 mg of hydromorphone or 40 mg of OC or 30 mg or morphine....... I want to stop.

I dreamed I murdered my Doc and in his last dying breaths I forced him to write me a script.....bizarre, but that's the only one
 
Well, I do not really sleep during withdrawals, and when I do, they are usually very weird and scary dreams. But after the physical withdrawals are over, I dream every night for the most part about getting high of opioids or benzos (mainly opioids). That is what makes me crave the most.
 
I dream about getting high all the time, and the weird part it is like it happened but then I wake up. They are almost always good dreams so it doesn't bother me.
 
When I run out of tramadol early before refill is allowed a few days early I always dream about getting a hold of some. Be it illegally, by a doctor visit, getting my refill, it.

It totally sucks when I wake up. Especially during withdrawal. I don't even sleep during withdrawal. Only a couple of hours at a time.
 
The more dependant I become on drugs, especially with opiates,, the more I dream about some convoluted means of which I had to score the drugs, in my dreams I occasionally do take them and feel the pseudo-effect of the drug to some degree,,, weird how complex and mysterious the brain and subconsciousness are huh?
 
I used to dream about getting high while kicking opioids; that and lots of sex!

I haven’t had a drink (alcohol) in 8 years but I’ll occasionally dream about drinking
 
My best one I had a shot prepped only to notice the rig had two points, like a barbecue fork. I was looking for two veins the right distance apart, then I realized if I turned it 90 degrees I could get both points in the same vein. And then I woke up.
 
Yeah, when I was in proper withdrawal I would dream of scoring opiates and trying to use them. I would always drop the dope or get arrested or I would wake up before I could get high. It was like torture because I would wake up and realize I didn't really score and I was still sick as fuck.
