It may be a subconscious desire to give up on your quit. By having feelings that you have cheated might make not such a big deal if you gave in. I have had similar in a "smoking" dream.
Of course the fact of the matter is that you haven't cheated and your concious mind knows it, but equally be aware and never let you're guard down.
Cigars stink worse than cigs. On previous quits, I often started back on "Cafe Cream" cigars (apparently they didn't count as smoking:confused even though I knew they stink.
I haven't had that feeling while awake but In the first few 2 weeks I had lots of "Smoking" dreams.
I would dream that I had smoked and In my Dream I would be so mad with myself, Even when I woke up I would still think it had happened for a few seconds! Very Frightening:eek:
I have smoking dreams now and then and kinda like them.Its the only way I will smoke.Sometimes I wake up and see if there is an ashtray next to the bed,just to be sure I am dreaming.:eek:
I don't know what it is about as it always is a bad feeling and I am always relieved when I think... hang on I definatly havn't smoked! I suppose part of me can't believe I have actually done it, and another part of me is it is my worst fear. So maybe it is a good thing as it confirms that it isn't what I want to do. I only had one smoking dream and like you guys woke up thinking oh no! What a strange phenomeno they are.
Went to see my dad the other day (big smoker)! And he was talking about how long I had quit for I started to say how easy it has been this time and he started reeling off how smoking was his one true pleasure and something he enjoys in life, how he doesn't care about the health risks, as he doesn't want to live forever, he doesn't mind how much money it costs as he enjoys it soo much and how it isn't about how quitting stops the bad things of smking but what GOOD things does it bring (I know, really wierd argument) the only point he would agree on was the fact the the smoking ban has made life less enjoyable for him. Made me sad really as he doesn't sound very well from all this smoking
... dreamt that I was in an elevator holding a 1/2 smoked cigarette and it seemed so real that when I woke up I freaked out since that would have negated the work thus far.... I was releaved that I did not actually do it... stupid head!!!! LOL!
