Drunk in a dream?

[Obsidian]

So i was just thinking... if you went to bed and had drank enough that you were still drunk when you got to REM, would you be drunk in your dreams??? Seems like you wouldn't be, or that it would be a different part of your brain. But that means that if you became lucid you'd be able to realize, hey i'm asleep and drunk but i can think clearly now, and that doesn't really make sense either. Anyone know what would happen? I can't say i've ever had a lucid dream when going to bed after drinking so i don't know. Just thought of it the other day

I've been drunk in a dream and I was drunk, but usually when I'm drunk and dreaming, it just slows the dream down, sometime too much where I'm more or less in a coma state in my dream that is very dark or gray and dense ...

I've never been drunk in a dream, but I think that since alcohol acts on your brain you would still be drunk in the dream. Just my two cents.

Well, since alcohol is a powerful REM suppressant, it's unlikely that you would begin dreaming until after the alcohol was starting to wear off and the hangover was setting in. Which is not to say that you wouldn't still be mildly drunk, just that you probably wouldn't dream while you were "trashed." In my experience with these kinds of dreams, I can't recall ever feeling drunk while in the dream, even though I might wake up from them and still feel somewhat inebriated from the night before. Haven't noticed much difference in dream content, either. Occasionally the dreams will be more vivid than more, though, no doubt due to the REM-rebound effect caused by alcohol.

I can't remember being drunk in dreams but I have had nights where I'll come home hammered drunk from the bars and not remember coming home or going to bed. After I wake up the next morning and end up going back to bed I've had quite a few lucids which had no signs of intoxication or any abnormalities (generally like 7-8 hours after passing the f out) I did have one lucid dream where all of my visuals closely mimic'd an LSD trip I had about a week prior but I think that was all mental and that there was no actual chemical influence on the dream

[The Cusp]

Last time I got really hammered, I went to sleep and had dozens of false awakenings where I would still be drunk and run around my apartment building. When I really woke up the next morning, I wasn't sure what was real and what wasn't. Was I really making a fool of myself in my building? I'm still not entirely sure. Haven't gotten drunk like that ever since.

Never gotten drunk, and therefore have never gone to bed drunk, so I can't give a testimony to that. But I have dreamt that I've been drunk. And that was a really weird experience.

By the time you dream, it would likely be a hangover. Rofl, a hangover in a dream...

Whenever I drink till I'm drunk and then sleep, my dreams will be very vauge and disconected. It will usually be a partial dream that repeats itself. However, I've had many dreams where I'm drinking with friends or DC's and in the dream I end up acting and feeling very drunk. This is only when I go to bed sober.

I know when I drink, I get at least 2 dreams that night....last time (which was this passed Sunday) I got four. Hmmm?

[AKycekRB20]

I've gone to bed sober, yet had dreams of being drunk. It's always been after drinking in my dream, but I find it pretty weird that I actually get drunk. I know it's all my perception of being drunk too.

I know it's all my perception of being drunk too. I was wondering if anyone else did this. That's pretty much why I bumped the topic. I find it so interesting that you can actually feel drunk without actually drinking. It feels so realistic too, even hyper-realistic. I've also done drugs in my dreams and gotten pretty messed up, but I've never actually done any drugs.

I've been drunk in dreams without actually having drank before going to bed. I've even had dreams where I get drunk and then "wake up" in the dream with a hangover. It seems pretty ridiculous when you wake up for real. I've also had the drug dreams, using drugs I've never touched in real life. I usually have very vivid dreams after a night of drinking, but I've always written it off to REM rebound after the alcohol wears off. I don't recall feeling drunk during any of these dreams.

When I go to bed drunk, I usually pass out for a long time and end up having really vivid dreams in the morning. I read something in a book that said alcohol supresses REM, but if you sleep long enough you'll have a longer REM period as the night goes on? I don't know, something like that. Don't take what I say for gospel, that's just what I've read and my experiences have definitely made it seem as if this were the true.

I actually went to bed last night pretty drunk and in my dreams I didn't feel intoxicated at all. I did have pretty vivid dreams though with no lucids. I've smoked weed in my dreams in the past before and gotten high, which was pretty kool, its like free weed!

[SamJoe]

Last night I went to bed, not drunk, but pretty tipsy. I remembered 4 dreams instead of 1 I've just started with a DJ sp I don't know if this had anything to do with alcohol but my dreams felt really real/vivid. No lucids though.

It had nothing to do with alcohol since last night I remembered 4 dreams aswell, completely sober.

My first WILD was in the morning after drinking. I've had around 4 lucid dreams after drinking in total. For the record, I didn't feel drunk during any of the dreams.

Being drunk in a dream is a recrurring theme for me. It has happened countless times, ussaly when I oversleep though. Being drunk in a dream is like being really fucking smashed, so smashed you are unconcious, your very powerless and forgetful. Im pretty sure I have had a dream where I was "sober" but woke up drunk but its a hazy memory.

[DreamByDesign]

I've just gotten back into LD and my first dream recall was two nights after I had gotten moderately drunk before. I was frustrated when I woke up though because in the dream I wasn't drunk, but my Dad was and I've only ever seen him even tipsy twice in my life. Also, I was lying down on the piano in our living room while he was talking to me. You'd think these two parts of the situation would have tipped me off, but I apparently just accepted it and never became lucid.
