Title is the gist of it, I quit smoking to re-enlist and now almost every day I wake up freaked out that I just fucked up my chance to have the gov foot the bill for school. Anybody else get these dreams, or am I just a weirdo?

I don't think it's abnormal. You are depriving your body of something you used regularly, so there you go. 1-2 weeks and psychological dependence nullifies, so hang on.

when I quit smoking cigarettes I would have dreams that I started smoking again and be so disappointed in myself in the dream.
looking back, in a small way, those dreams helped me quit.

Yeah, I'm thinking I have these dreams because I'm deadly serious about achieving my goals. It's good to know that this seems to be a normal thing. I'm still interested in reading about other peoples experiences with this phenomenon.

Same as "drunk dreams"....I've had them up to 6 or 7 years after I stopped drinking....I just learned to embrace that feeling you get when you realize that you really didn't fuck up....awesome!!

Dreaming about heroin is worse... I get the needle about an inch from the vein and....BANG I wake up...every time. Stupid brain can replicate pretty much anything in a dream, why doesn't it skip to the good, getting high part??
The body produces morphine naturally as well... stoopid body.
Those dreams are common enough, your brain is craving what it expects.

I've had some pretty cool dreams where I took psychedelics and actually tripped
I remember one time I took acid in a dream and I was on a big cruise boat by myself, at night, on the top deck, looking at the starts. All of the sudden the stars started turning into golden fractals everywhere....Then I realized that I was alone and noone was steering the ship so I was like "I gotta get down there" and I instantly teleported into the captains cabin.....Pretty cool dream.
I've had mushroom trips, salvia trips, dmt trips in a dream.....I even smoked meth once and got the effect from it, at least what I think meth would be like, because I've never actually done it......weird huh?

I never have had dreams from quitting, unlike drinking alcohol which causes rebound-REM sleep which causes me to have horribly realistic long lasting dreams.
Id say the dreams are a form of withdrawal. I get night sweats, hot flashes, no appetite at all, extreme irritability etc. Call yourself lucky!

This is pretty interesting, are there any scientific studies of this stuff that anyone knows of?

I quit drinking and using drugs completely for about 8 years, now I'll use psychs a few times a year and thats it. Once in a long while I'll get dreams about getting high or taking acid. Very strange, kinda fun!

I've had the exact same thing before! I would wake up and think damn it now I'm going to fail the drug test. Then I realize I was just dreaming.
I did MDMA in a dream once. It was in powdered form and tasted like sugar. The effects were AMAZING! I just had a good old time with my friends rolling (at least how I imagine how rolling would be, never taken it before.) I wish I had this dream more often.

I've only had one or two since I quit months ago. What I love doing though is to look up a video of someone smoking and inhale JUST as they do and give myself a subliminal high and it really works, if you have control over your mind then you'll actually feel a body high from it. It's prett crazy.

Using-dreams are therapeutic. By acting out the behavior in your dream your mind is satisfying that urge to use you have and this will help to keep you from acting out the urge in your waking state. That's what Dr. Drew says and my personal experience tells me this is basically true.

Yeah heroin dreams are really good. I always get to the high part though and I really did feel high. Then the dream would always turn to frustration, like I would suddenly have to hide my tracks from my mom or something and then I'd feel ashamed all over again.

haha, yeah i know pretty ironic, but it worked. Almost been a whole year since I've played them. It just really put things into perspective for me about how bad of a bet playing the machines really is. So now if I'm thinking about putting $20 in I'll be instantly down $1000 so there's no way I'd do that.

Never had dreams while quitting, but I have had a lot of smoking dreams. I also once had a dream that I was still tripping from 1 LSD blotter that I had taken the previous week, but my dream-self didn't mind!
