    Well since i believe in past lives i believe you could ask yourself to recreate a feeling or mindset (anythign really) from a past life.

    Your mind could just be creating the "sensation/feeling" it believes would be a appropriate.

    I've done opium in a dream, but never have in real life, however I did get quite high, and it wasn't like a weed high or drunkenness.

    ...also had aliens inject me in the back of my head with a horse needle and that shit hurt! Felt like my brain was burning from the inside out. (I hope that wasn't real.)

    Somebody said to me once that you could "turn off" pain in your dreams if you wanted to. It's not really something I've tried much, since I usually ignore pain. I'll do things without even thinking about the "pain" factor, and usually I don't feel pain.

    Lol, that made me laugh.

    I've only ever had one dream where I've experienced pain, a snake was biting me and it felt like 2 fangs going into my arm (obvious ) and it hurt. I never realised you could experience pain in a dream before that.

    I doubt any of us here have actually been bitten by an alligator. However, I'm sure we all have a pretty good idea of what it would feel like. A dream about being bitten could easily give you the correct sensation.

    It would be entirely different if for example you dreamed you tasted cilantro, but never actually had in real life. The flavor in your dream would not likely even be similar.

    Good point, pain is pretty much all the same just at different severities (except for a few different types like stinging, burning, aching but you would know what causes it) So for somthing like an aligator you know what it would feel like and it would hurt a lot.

    Whereas with tastes there's a massive variety, you might be able to assume the texture at the most.

    Yeah, I guess your brain is just trying to fill the gaps, or trying to make it seem more real.

    and yeah umm, you propably just had your arm in a bad position so it hurt or something, and your brains made your dreams umm.. "support" the pain by a random action in the dream. in this case, an alligator

    I've taken drugs in dreams, jumped off buildings, skydived, flown out of space...

    None of these I've done in real life, and they fairly similar to what I'd expect to feel. But much stronger and muuch more awesome!
