Dream

So I've been clean for over five weeks. I have went longer but every time i hit the 5 week mark i start having dreams about SI-ing...

I'm not sure what i can do to stop them from occurring. all i know is it takes a toll and when i wake up its all i can think about for hours.
How can i stop them from happening? or better yet how can i stop thinking about it when i wake up.

not sure how to prevent them from happening but i wanted you to know that it happens to me too. i actually have been having this problem for the past 2 days now. posted about it in vets.

sorry you are having such a difficult time and good for you on your 5 weeks!

not very sure if this would work, but maybe you could try reading or watching a film that you know pretty well before bed so that you might be likely to dream about that. or listen to a book on cd/tape...

Good job on 5 weeks clean! I don't really have much advice, but I've experienced the same thing too.

The movie idea is fantastic! I think I'm going to try that out tonight. =)
and thank you Celt. =)

You could also write a diary entry just before bed of how your day was/any worries/how you feel/ect to get it out of yourself before you try to sleep. It may help you not to dream of self-harming.
