Is this a normal withdrawal symptom?

[bird546]

Good morning everyone,
I am glad to say it's day 12 and this the best I've felt physically in a long time. However mentally I have begun to feel, well kinda sketchy. I had a very bizarre dream last night, I am not the type of person who is easily shaken, but this well... I don't know. Anyway one of my best friends died of a methadone/benzo cocktail about 7 months ago. He was one of my best friends since childhood. He left his wife and kids to make it on there own, I know his overdose was accidental, because He would never do that. He was 41, and we were friends since the 2nd grade.
So about midnight last night I took my melatonin and within 45min I was out. In my dream (which was so vivid and real) I was standing alone in my driveway and I could see his truck heading down my street. He pulls up and asks if I am ready to go. I said sure, it was as though I couldn't stop myself, I just got in. The entire passengers seat was covered like an inch deep in 30mg oxys. He told me to help myself, so I did. I took a few and just kinda pushed the rest over so I could sit down. I asked him where are we going and he said (now dig this) gambling cuz I know how much you like it. Then we just drove off headed north. Anyway I like to think I am not easily shaken, I have lost several friends to this disease and have always thought that could never happen to me. Now I am not so sure. Is this a part of withdrawal or am I loosing my mind.
The physical stuff I can take, most of the mental stuff I can handle as well, but this, this is freaking out there. Gonna spend my day trying to get this out of my head. And why in the heck would I use, that would be the last thing in the world I would do right now. Anyone ever have anything like this happen to them.

I have had many dreams where people i have closely known have died and they came and visited me in my dreams and told me they were ok and not to worry. I think when we are dreaming we are on another wavelength than the one we are on in everyday life. I think it puts us in a place where anything can happen and "spirits" of people we know can make contact with us. Just a theory!

I hate those type of dreams as they do zap all the energy right out of you.  They get better with time.

I call those "connection dreams"..Can't explain them , but every once in awhile I get a visit from a brother who died from injuries sustained in a car accident back in 1973..It like we talk and I tell him whats been going on since he left....Weird dreams in wd's? A definite yes. Two nights ago I had one that freaked me out..Woke up exhausted and tense..I'm right with you btw. Today is 12 for me too....:)
