Thread: Lack of senses

I don't have a sense that repetedly is lacking. Touch and sight are to me the strongest senses. sound is a curious one, becuase normally there is no background noise, like the sound of a busy intersection or the sound of my footsteps as I run up the stairs. But there is sound, since people to speak. Sometimes, though, I find that people talk telepathically.

People talk telepathically huh? I don't think I have ever encountered that. What is weird, speaking of the senses is riding a motorcycle down the highway with no wind, no sound from the engine or no sound of other traffic. Its strange because in the waking world I have very acute hearing. I've been exploring LDing since around summertime and have only got on this forum a few days ago. There is some really good insight on this forum!

I sometimes lack smell...

Yeah

I never taste anything when I dreams, and LD for that matter. All of my other senses are just fine if not better than in reality.

it was between smell and taste 4 me, i never use those sense in my dreams.

My sight is the best. Although the first thing to come to me while I'm falling asleep is usually sound. I have a pretty good sense of sound but I also find that it's very on and off. Very perfect white fuzz noise. Yeah i also speak telepathically to my dream characters. It's pretty cool. The other night I had one where I was with a friend I really wanted to talk to, but it was really hectic around us - lots of people walking near us. So I used my telepathy to say, please don't walk near us - go the other way and they almost all conformed instantly. I wasn't really trying to manipulate them, they just did what i wanted them to. My sense of smell is really bad. I hardly ever remember smells. My touch is very sensitive and it kinda freaks me out how real it is sometimes. My taste - I don't really eat a lot of things when I'm dreaming. A few times, and that was pretty real. Thanks for asking this question - it was a fun one to think about and answer.

I lack touch in dreams - in fact I hardly ever feel i have a body in a dream last night i experienced the taste of food in a dream for the first time in my life. It was pretty interesting.

I have some sort of "general feeling" - like a universal feeling for touch, hearing and smell.

Im going to say sound I find it easy to hear within myself breathing or heartbeats but other things are pretty muffled like cars and birds and other things we hear in normal life. I hear the wind blowing but I guess I only hear things in direct relation to me. kinda odd.

I cannot usually taste things with clarity. I can taste "Sweet" or "salty" or sour or metallic but the finer tastes usually do not register well. I have a lot of musical dreams and sound in dreams is usually pretty acute, but I've noticed that sometimes the sound seems to fade out... so I instinctively check my ears, and I notice that my ear passages are plugged with a hard or gritty substance which I attribute to there being no sound...

My sense of touch is sometimes numbed but this is remedied through breathing exercises and focusing on the part of my body that seems to be lacking that sense. Smell is kind of like taste -it's there but not usually acute unless I see something that I immediately associate with a smell like something cooking. Especially regarding the sense of touch... I'm glad that senses are non-existent or at least muted, 'cause otherwise I would experience a lot more discomfort and pain than I already do.

Now that I think about it, sound is typically what I lack the most in my dreams. Granted, I have dreampt in stereo before, but for the most part, it's all silent. I remember those wind swept fields of wheat that i used to dream. They were totally silent. I love it

Chris.

Hmm, I hardly eat in dreams, so I've never experianced taste. I mean I might go get something, but I never get around to eating so..

And things don't smell either.
And there is usualy no sound, talking is usually all telepathically.

I think I should learn to focus more when I dream.
