Dreams?/Nightmare? Should i be concerned.

No.

Your subconscious is nothing you can control. It will show you any movie it wants to show you. It is what happens when you are awake that's important and no, it is not a prelude to what is coming it was just a dream and the memory of it will be gone sooner than you think.

No. Perfectly normal. I have them even now over three years clean, and as bad as they seem when you wake up as you second guess whether it was real or not, they do fade fairly quickly.

Just keep doing whatever you are doing and enjoy the fact that you are a couple of hundred days off a bet.

I’ve been gamble free for over 9 months, the dreams are relatively common with me, takes me a second or two after waking to realise I am still going strong and it was all just a dream/nightmare.

Yes I'll admit even though I've never been in a casino I did have to check my bank to make sure, dreams can sometimes feel too real. Glad to hear I'm not the only one to have them dreams..I'd rather dream about other things mind haha 

Hi

Dream can be so wild and vivid that you feel youve lived them as you wake up with a start. Its normal for an active subconscious imagination to play with dreams but at least you soon realise you are ok and gamble free.

Its far better than having a nice dream and then wake up again to the reality of recent gambling losses.

I remember going to bed in a deep depression and almost forcing the nicest of dreams to escape the pain. The sinking feeling after waking up and realising yet again the money I lost the day before is horrendous...There are not many worse feelings than that.

Let your feelings flow through dreams...there is no need to be scared of them when in a strong recovery. I dont often have vivid dreams and troubling thoughts about gambling do fade.

Im much more settled now and such dreams are rare. I can think about gambling but its the negative reality and misery of gambling I think about. Im not scared for the word gambling to enter my mind because Im secure and strong.

Best wishes

Oh yes I agree, the feeling the morning after losing all my money is a feeling I never want to feel again...but that's why I also try to not forget totally how it felt as it keeps me going also.
