Why We Have Crazy Dreams In Early Sobriety?

The Acid Trip to Hell #4 . Content Warning.
PART 4 OF 6 Now I can hear Elia is on the phone to Jason (and still in the bathroom). I knock on the door and say I really need in. No response. I can literally hear that she just stopped talking because I knocked. I knock again. Harder. And harder. I’ve had enough of this game they are playing with me.

The Acid Trip to Hell #2. Content Warning.
PART 2 OF 6 23-06-20 06:00 Woke up in Elia’s bed feeling confused and scared. I lay so still as I tried hard to remember where I was. It felt like the longest time before my brain remembered the train and coming to Elia’s place. I picked up my phone to see that Jason had messaged me at 4am saying the 365 DNI movie is in the top ten most watched on Netflix but also has been voted the worst movie of 2020. I messaged back to say it fits. He replied immediately saying good morning, I wish you a wonderful sunny day.

Do you talk to yourself often?
Self-talk can be distracting when it interrupts your morning routine. Just as you're about to drift off to sleep, you hear your alarm clock blaring. As you brush your teeth, remember that you need a haircut--unless there's a sporting event that day. Hastily grabbing your keys, you run outside just in time to see your neighbor. Being sociable can be frustrating, so some people label talking to oneself as a sign of mental instability.
