Drunk Dreams

I have had a recurring dream throughout my 14 years of recovery. In the dream, drinking and AA are the central players. These dreams are emotionally vivid and memorable, more so than most other dreams. I’ve heard many fellow recovering alcoholics refer to them as “drinking dreams.” I wonder, though, whether these dreams are evidence not so much of romanticizing the drink but of the opposite. Since I’ve opened myself to AA all the way into the subconscious, I wonder if they are in fact recovery dreams in disguise.
