This never actually worked for me. I remember always hearing about pinching yourself during a dream and if you didn't feel it you were dreaming. I've pinched myself in dreams before and it actually did hurt. (Though, after realizing I was trying to pinch myself to see if I was dreaming I realized I was dreaming ) Is this normal? I can feel everything I could in real life, be it pain, pleasure, being bumped against something..etc..

I remember having a dream something was pounding on my back and then waking up and still feeling it there for a little bit, then turning around and it was gone.
