Dreams About Smoking...?!
Question: Dreams About Smoking!.!.!.!?
I recently quit smoking, but I am still having quite lucid dreams where I am out with my mates and somebody offers me a cigarette, which I end up smoking then I'm back on the cigarettes full-time and feeling really guilty!. It's got to the point now where I am waking up in a panic, imagining I have had a cigarette and have to try and calm down!. Has anyone else had this, and is it a perfectly normal reaction to quitting the habit!? Why is my own body contriving to get me to take up smoking again like this!?Www@Answer-Health@Com

Oh its quit normal, I just stopped again and this is my second time!. Last time I quit was for about ten years!. I was told then it will take 5 years to forget about smoking and they were right!. Even then the smell of smoke sometimes triggered old urges!. I too have those dreams and you feel awful guilty thinking you messed up after stopping for a week or so, don't worry the urge subsides with time!. I just try to keep telling myself I am a non smoker, I found referring to myself as an ex smoker or someone who quit actually helped me to justify restarting again!. The mind plays many tricks!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
If you smoked for a long time, it became an unconscious action to light up, as well as a conscious one!. Your subconscious is wondering what's happened! I smoked herbal rolling baccie (it's nicotine free) for several months before stopping altogether!. That way, I didn't have the such bad withdrawals!. The taste is a bit yuk until you get used to it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
