Okay. For those of you who frequent this forum, you should know that I generally think that dreams are meaningless subconscious jumbles.

In essence, all the dreams I've been having are random, but one element keeps appearing and it's somewhat disconcerting. It appears in the dreams completely at random, too.

You see, I recently quit my smoking habit. Considering my age (15, at the time) I was a bit on the heavy side-- I smoked anywhere from 13 or so to a pack in a day. So it was a considerable struggle to break the habit. Anyway, I've been cigarette-free for about 6 months now.

And almost every time I have a dream, it involves me smoking in some way. It's sort of bothering me, because even though I still have the occasional passing fancy for a cigarette the cravings have nearly disappeared completely. I don't think it's just because I'm focusing on it, either. I never really think about it except for directly after I've had a dream.

It's really worrying me that I'm going to break down and start again. TT_TT;; Obviously, I have it on the brain since I keep dreaming about it, but I really don't have cravings.

Any opinions, here?

well....sorta related-ish....I get really dirty dreams even thou I have no real need for any of that during the day, no REAL urges or anything like that. And I dream about smoking too XD; (even thou I do, just 1 or 2 a day thou, not even every day)
Just keep your head straight and don't let it bug you or get to you ya know? stay strong and good luck, sorry I don't have anything else for ya. ^^;

I can't really relate, but I live with someone who does.

My mom smoked for...*counts* 34 years. She quit back in 2002 after being diagnosed with lung cancer for the first time...but she STILL has dreams like that.

But she hasn't gone back to smoking. She WANTS to sometimes (she let herself get VERY addicted), but she never actually did. And believe me. She has next to NO self-control.

So...for the fear of starting again, I have to say you probably shouldn't worry too much about it. Chances are, you have a LOT more self-control than her...plus, she was smoking longer than you'd even been ALIVE at the time, so she had a lot more time to grow terribly addicted.

There's a good chance that it represents something else. Maybe it's trying to bring another bad habit of yours to your attention?

Well I know that my bf and his friends were addicts and they quit a long time ago and they all still dream about it and it bothers them too but they just accept that thats part of there past now and not there present or future.

Well from what I found from searching this has come up in a dictionary:

Smoking
To dream that you are smoking, indicates that you are trying to shield yourself and others against your emotions. You have trouble letting others in.

From what that says, it just talks about your emotions, I don't really know other then that. I hope that helps.

Thanks, everybody.

@a_shy_girl_1999-- I didn't need a dream to tell me that. XD I knew that already.

@Fullmetal Phantom-- I'm sorry about your mom. Is she alright?
If she can do it, so can I! -Dances-
I don't know.. bad habits... -pulls nail out of mouth- I don't really have any. XD
