Dreaming of Smoking or more like the reoccuring nightmare

I have been having this re-occurring dream that I am dealing with some stressful situation and I sneak a puff.  Every dream has been different but the result is the same, I smoke and then I get mad at myself, as in last night's dream, for throwing away the last 41 days.  Then I wake up and while still in that half-asleep half awake mode I think whether or not the dream was real.  Did I really smoke?  Did I really just do that?  I smell my fingers and usually nothing.  However, this morning there was slight ting of smoke from last nights bonfire with my girls.  That put me in panic mode for a seconds until I became fully awake and realized it was just a dream.  I am I crazy or am I the only one that does this? Oh well.  Here is to another (conscious) day of not smoking.  I will leave the cigarrettes for my subconscious.

I am on my one millionth attempt at quitting. I have smoked for well over 15 years. A few years ago I developed a few health problems that gave me some concern but not enough to quit. Finally, my wife gave me an ultimatum; her or the cigarettes. I finally got my head out of you know where on June 2, 2016 and have never looked back.
