Abstract

This study tested the hypothesis that differences in both length of abstinence and demographic characteristics would be found between alcoholics who have dreams about drinking (DD group) and those who do not have such dreams (NDD group). The DD group was abstinent for longer periods of time; these patients were more often white, married, and taking disulfiram than were NDD patients. The author concludes that in outpatient treatment of alcoholics, dreaming about drinking is a good prognostic sign.
