I'm sure it's something to do with my quit, but even though I'm not taking any medication, I've had the WORST dreams in the last few nights..
I dreamt I was in a plane crash, and then in the same night, attacked by zombies.
Last night actually brought back smoking related dreams. First off that I was smoking again, and then another where I was having desperate cravings, and those old internal arguments with myself where I was trying to justify smoking. I was so relieved when I woke up and didn't have any cravings at all
Is there anyone else having these effects on cold turkey, or is most of it drug induced?

If you search on this site for 'dreams' or 'sleep disturbance' you will find a gasquillion posts to show you that you're not alone. Although I think Champix etc can cause some really vivid weird dreams, cold turkey quitters experience it too. I know I did. All part of the journey of mental and physical readjustment, I guess!
Ah well, this too shall pass. You're doing great, keep going!
Oooh yes wierd dreams and it's almost every night.
Last night I dream't I was being choked in between my niece and my sister who both smoke. Hopefully that's a good sign that I am now a non smoker in my dreams!
Have had some really strange ones though. Last week after watching Holby City I suddenly became a medical student, however not a very good one as I was killing all the patients off as I didn't know how to operate the oxygen masks :eek:
Dreams have never really bothered me, but I know some people can find them very upsetting or scary. Hopefully this side of things will start improving over time. In the meantime, I am trying to limit my TV viewing as I think that's stimulating the dreams ??
