In early sobriety I used to have frequent dreams about drinking and getting drunk. I would wake up in a cold sweat, very nervous until I relized it was only a dream and I had not gone back out.
Fast forward 33 years and I am having occasional dreams where I am attending AA meetings. I wake up with a tremendous feeling of well being very similar to how I feel when attending real life meetings.
The first time this happened I shared it with my home group who met at 7 AM every day and told them that "This was my second meeting today" explaining about my dream.
Has any one else experienced this?

No, I've never acually had dreams of attending meeting other than my Ex BF breaking out of prison & showing up at a meeting after me with a gun. Does that count? lol

More of a nightmare Tessa instead of a dream. I'll pray that is not God's will for you. He would not bring you this far just to abandon you.

I don't really see this as a reality although I'm sure he would if he could!! But, fortunately for me he's under highy security & he's got a ways left to go!!

My long history is the nightmares and none of them about meetings. I've been in a meeting or two where I day dreamed about being somewhere or someone else. LOL. some meetings are better than others heh?
I sorta wish... I enjoy meetings a lot. Only dreams I have is that I drank then I wake up and thank God that it was just a dream... I don't ever want to go back "out".
