Pain in dreams?

Oh yes I have felt pain many times. I have even choked to death in one of my lds… and in several nds… i’ts not a pleasant feeling I can tell you that right now… and once I dreamt that I had been shot in the arm… damn that did hurt like a monkey trying to hump a lion.

I’ve felt pain in ND’s, which is one of the reasons it feels so real I don’t really question if I’m dreaming or not, due to the realism. Just this night I had a dream where my legs were burned by a frying pan, wasn’t very nice.

Pain feels more painful than in real-life I’d say, and sometimes I’ve felt the pain when I wake up (not serious tho, thankfully).

Question of the day:
“If one dies in the Matr… in his dreams, does he die here?”

I had a dream where I had a bullet in my head, but I felt no pain.

I had a lucid dream once and I decided to climb into the landscape that I saw on a tv. When I began to climb inside I felt a mild buzzing and I got stuck. It wasn’t really like electrocution, but it was a very unpleasent naseau (sp?) feeling. I sometimes have the teeth falling out dream and out of 10 of those type my gums have only really hurt once. I got a shot once from a doctor but since they don’t really bother me at all in real life it didn’t affect me in my dream either.

Yes and no. Normally i don’t feel much in ND unless i am meant to, ie: i actively touch something to feel tactile sensation.

In similar instances i feel pain, normally however if i feel pain i will still be able to feel it when i wake up.

But otherwise my sensation of touch is limited.

Its gotta be all in your head. The brain doesn’t send signals to your nerves, its the other way around, and since your not really exploading or getting stabbed or whatever, obviously the nerves aren’t sending those pain signals to your brain. Therefore, the pain is generated directly within the brain, from memories and stuff, kinda like, an approximation of what that pain would be like.
Anywhoo, I don’t remember feeling pain in any normal dreams, and I know I’ve never eperienced any pain in a Lucid Dream.
Infact, once I attempted to fly off our deck in a lucid dream. Once I jumped, the scene turned into a cliff, with a swirling ocean and jagged rocks below, and I was falling. It must’ve been a 500 foot drop, at least! I hit the jagged rocks, and should’ve died, but instead, I only felt the thud of the impact, as if I had been slammed into some pillows.
When I opened my eyes I was below the deck I had jumped from lying in a puddle. :smile:

I did not have much pain in my dreams, so i used it as a reality check…
But lately the pain has gotten very vivid… just this very last non ld, i managed get electric shock from 2 loose cables that was hooked up to the 220v power net… not a very good feeling :wink:

Last week I dreamed I was in the gym of the high school I attended YEARS ago. I looked up and on the second level of the gym, I saw dozens of people that I currently work with. Before I could get one word out they all started throwing pennies at me. YES PENNIES. THEY STUNG LIKE HELL!!! I have no ideal how that weird dream came about…

Yeah, feeling pain in dream is normal… it depends on your awareness.

I once experienced INTENSE burning sensation on my right hand when it was glowing in outlined triangle. I screamed and screamed in pain. It was burning directly at my hand… I had a scar of traingle afterward.

I will never forget that experience. o_0 Sometimes in my LD’s I still look at my right hand, wondering if there is still a scar of that triangle. Sometimes it is still there, sometimes it isn’t there but I still feel it there. shudders Weird. Hehe.

It’s cool that I’m not the only one who feels pain in my dreams. (I thought I was weird!) :crazy:

I’ve also woken (is woken a word? lol - awaken, waked?) anyway, I’ve woke up actually crying!

for me pain in dreams is very real. sometimes for a split second after I wake up, I can still feel the pain. I can’t think of an example at the moment, but I can remember it happening.

you know that “heart in thraot” feeling you get when you get really upset? (is it just me?) I have woke up feeling that, and that feeling lasts quite a long time after I wake up.

perhaps you have so much pain iun your dreams because you acknoledge it so much in RL. Because of what ihave learned, if you belive in somehting so strongly, then it iwll be like that, or be stroonger in yoru dream. Kind of liethe experiment LeBerge did when she said that when you say your own name in a dream, crazy things will happen, it was a plecebo effect though. i hope you understand, i know i wouldnt if someone was telling me this :tongue: .

I’ve felt my arm removed, it kind of tingles until the shcock in your dream wairs off and then there’s the pain. Yay for needing to go to school in RL, it woke me up out of my nightmare.

Last night I felt pain in a dream because some fat ugly rat bit me in my hand. Luckily I went lucid afterwards and the pain vanished pretty quickly :smile:

I have felt pain in my dreams, but it is usually gone when I wake up. A few nights ago though, I had a sensation which I couldn’t shake off.
As I was falling asleep I felt as if there was real pressure in my right temple, as if something was poking into it really hard. The only way I could releive it was to gently rub the area. It is hard to explain, but I felt like it wasn’t physical, but my mind was creating the sensation. I wonder if anyone else has felt something like this?

i had a dream that arnold schwarzenegger was chasing me as the terminator and he shot me in the leg and it hurt

I got stung by a bee in a recent dream… hurt like hell…

A few nights ago, I had a dream in which a student at school picked a fight with me, ya kow, pushing and shoving me around and stuff. The funny part was, when I woke up, not only did I not remember feeling pain from being hit, but didn’t even remember feeling the shoves, or even the sensation of touching something. My sense of touch was rather absent. :smile:
When I think back on it, the vividness of tactile sensation probably depends on the clarity of the dream (at least in this case). I wasn’t very aware, and I was a bit ticked off cause of the dream fight, so I was probably not thinking about feeling pain, or touch or anything.
Oh well, whatever the reason, it was weird.

Twice in LD’s I’ve been hurt in the ribs. Hurt like heck! But if something completely ridiculous is happening, like I’m shot, I won’t feel anything.

I have had bad mental pain…

there was something that i heard that mental pain is worse that physical pain… or the same or whatever…

the dream was something about oh my exboyfriend having sex with reese witherspoon… i was so frustrated in the dream and in so much pain.

i woke up feeling the same way…
those dreams are intense

One time I had a dream that someone forced me to carve something in my arm. I felt it, but it was a strange kind of pain… I imagine it would have hurt quite a bit in RL.
