    I was at the grocery store, wheeling a cart about 1/4 full. The desire to have some cigarettes was so overwhelming that I avoided my family members with me at the store, grabbed two packs of my favorite brand of cigarettes and hid them under the growing pile of items in my cart.

    It was about that time that I woke up. And very briefly, until I came to my senses, I felt that it was no use to even try if I was going to be so weak as to sabotage my own efforts to be strong.

    WHEW!!! I'm glad it was only a dream! Boy! Our brains can be so sneaky and conniving!

    That's very common Frannie to dream about smoking, etc. when you are trying to quit. I was told this by a stop smoking help organization. Nicotine is addictive and your brain is responding to that "need". Keep you resolve. I wish you the best.

    Try not to get distraught over it.

    It was what is called a wish fulfillment dream obtaining in it what is prohibited in real life. Or the dream was trying to drain away the tension produced by the waking life struggle with the habit.

    Aww, I won't, Juni. It just surprised me, because I never dreamed about anything having to do with sneaking a smoke when I've quit in past decades. It's amazing how our brains will attempt to deceive us about little things like this.

    Thanks, Greendawn. Yes, that pretty much sums it up. I'm glad I didn't fall for those sneaky brain shennanigans, though.

    Butters, I felt that my dream was telling me that I am a person that is capable of using very sneaky, conniving, devious means to attain my heart's desires. That's what's so alarming!

    Oh Grace! You are so dang funny. Tom Jones eh? Not a bad looking welshman. I agree with Butters - you need a trip to Vegas!

    Frannie. Hon. Absolutely normal on the sneeking a smoke dream. I have them occasionally with alcohol.

    In AA it is suggested that the dream plays out our urge and desire for the "forbidden fruit" that we have stuffed in our consciousness. It serves as a blatant reminder that one is only so far away from relapse at any given moment. I've become grateful for these dreams because they remind me why I no longer drink.

    Ya done good, Frannie! (((((((( giant hugs ))))))))))
