Dreams About Smoking...?

Question

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?

Answer 1

It is part of withdrawal.

Answer 2

There is a lot of repressed material you are dealing with and the subconscious is revealing its nature to you. Smoking is an oral fixation and the symbolics of immaturity as with any drug which results in a different persona after the effects take control. A resolution in self-help maybe found in keeping a dream journal or a diary type journal and most important keep this private. A suggestion to promote a therapy in self-help is to write anything which comes to mind and do not be concerned with punctuation, here is also a note to remember; when you see a recall in writing having to do with punctuation then you are not on the right path, start again! Also patience is the greatest virtue in any therapy, just remember how long to get to where you are now, then it will take a portion of that time to eliminate the garbage collected along the way.

Answer 4

It is very common for ex-smokers to dream about smoking. This type of a dream could be called wish fulfillment or a compensatory dream. The smoker misses smoking. He can not smoke during the day, and therefore he smokes in his dreams. If you are dreaming about being surrounded by other people's smoke, you may be experiencing some confusion and anxiety in daily life or in regard to a particular situation. Smoke or smoking usually depletes people of energy and hampers ones ability to think clearly and act directly with the issues at hand.
