Does anyone else have using dreams?

I have them about once a month. In the dream, I have a drink or two, knowing that I can control it. Sometimes I sneak a drink, and sometimes I'm out in the open about it. I've heard it's pretty common to have these

Was told it's just your body wondering where the drugs went. They go away and it's normal.

Happened all the time for several years. 35 years later I still get one once in a while but rare.

that I'm smoking and I get really mad at myself because I started again. Then I wake up and realize I didn't start again and I laugh. The dreams come less and less now.
