Dreaming and nicotine patches.....

Hi Am in the process of giving up smoking (again) and I've found that since I've been using nicotine patches, I'm having extremely vivid dreams. Has anyone heard of this before? I actually love it - some of the dreams have been brilliant!

Yes it's pretty common although you're actually really lucky you can sleep while still wearing a patch as they can cause chronic insomnia! I remember when I used them before when trying to quit (unsuccessfully) and my dreams were crrrrrazy! Good luck with the quitting, I've been off them three years now - it's a hard slog but worth it
