God, it's annoying >.> is there anything you can do yo help solve that?

do u ever sleep walk ?

No, I have never sleep-walked.

Lol, Once I was frustrated because I had a handgun (colt), And there were tons of zombies.
So I didn't mind them, just walked around. (I knew the Colt was no good against them)

In any of my non lucid dreams, fighting is utterly useless most of the time. On the bright side, I never feel pain and seem to be invincible. The good part about this type of thing is it triggers lucidity (especially when I should've died, but remain unscathed). To be perfectly honest, this is how I become lucid 75% of the time... Retaliating while lucid is probably one of the most fun things I've ever experienced.

I tend to be realy stable (nearly invincible) in dreams, and so are my enemies if I happen to have some. I never even died once in the past 13 years in a dream.
As for my fights I usually have to come up with unusual ideas to win (never had a fight while being lucid so far though).
One time I was attacked by a small annoying dog, I kicked and punched it neither I nor the dog took any damage. For whatever damn reason I had the idea and power to turn the dog into a stick which I picked up and snapped, odd but highly effective.
In another dream I had a fight with a predator (yes from the movie). It tried to mix itself into the group I was around with currently (unknown people) but it discarded the plasma gun a few meters before trying to join us. For some reason I knew that it was up to no good. Went and picked the gun and started firing. That robust dude didn't go down under the plasma fire till the dream ended, hence it was a draw.
In yet another dream I survived an meteor impact. Head on.

Yeah, I'm not sure but I don't think you can feel pain in your dreams. The only time I've ever felt pain was when I had a "real" pain that was carrying over into the dream. The lack of pain seems to carry over to invincibility. Most of the time, it seems to be the case for your opponent as well. Its almost funny how it also turns into the futile battle where no one can win (unless you do something lucid, or magical).

I'm curious though if anyone in here has ever felt "dream pain" though. If so, I've never heard of it..

Yes, you can feel pain in your dreams, you can feel it, but your not going to die in real life. I've heard of someone who got hit by a car in a dream, but it didn't hurt him that much to wake him up. The pain will feel what you think what it feels like. Haven't heard anyone get hurt as much more than a that, but who knows?

Yep, in fact there are quite a few people who can feel pain in dreams. One example on this forum http://www.dreamviews.com/f11/starti...-again-122411/
And I also personally know someone who feels pain in dreams, it's far from impossible but the biggest part of people isn't equiped with this in my opinion rather useless feature.

I'm interested if its actual pain, or just you thinking you are in pain. I've had dreams where I *thought* I was hurt (feeling pain), but when I woke up I realized that it was merely a suggestive thought telling me I was hurt. I'd realize that I wasn't feeling pain in my dream, but rather just assumed I was feeling pain and was so out of it that I could not realize this wasn't true.

Some may not see the distinction, because obviously the pain is imagined... but I think there is a notable difference.

Pain in real life could affect you while your dreaming, like a cramp or suffocation from the blanket or something. The pain that you feel in your dreams though is just thinking that you got hurt, so you feel hurt. It's just like touching an object in a dream. Your touching an object and your expecting to feel it, if not, then your hand would probably go through it. All applies with the other senses.

For me, thinking that I'm hurt does not produce a pain sensation in my dream (I just don't realize it).. I'm guessing it does for you .. I can't smell or taste either.. so I'm guessing that might have something.

Kinda, with me it always feels like the gravitational pull has become x5 =/ It's frustrating really, but it mostly makes me go Lucid unless I'm lost in my frustration with it..

low energy

I can half remember some dreams I had when I was younger that involved painfully slow punches. In an unrelated note, I've had a dream where I was fighting people but the view kept switching around like a movie. Somehow one of the people got their head crushed and I got to experience that myself....It felt weird to say the least.

Experiencing slow movement in dreams is a very good thing for the onset of LDing. You could use it to your advantage to initiate lucidity because you're almost there to becoming coherent. The reason why certain activities appear as slow movements is because you're subconsciously trying to actually move your real body, however SP will not allow for much movement. Your body feels sluggish and heavy as it should. In dreams especially Lucid Dreams we should exercising moving with our thoughts. If you can visualize it, nothings impossible. I would take advantage of this experience and use slow movements as an RC to be a catalyst to entering LDs.

Or you just cant move your arm as well as you can in real life.

Every time i've been in a fight in a dream this happens hehe.

Unless its a video game type dream, those seem to always have more effective fights...

Used to happen to me all the time until once i was just full speed and won quickily lol , also if i become lucid i can instantly ko a group of attackers which is sweet and like punch holes in walls and stuff loll , but lately ive been lucid and not been able to punch threw windows anymore so i tried to headbutt and nothing ( i was fully aware aswell ) but i can headbutt threw them if i do it with the side of my head ?? WTF is that hahah ...

Sometimes i get the same thing, like sometimes my punches will either be like trying to punch through treacle or they just bounce off their face or my legs feel like they're just like "heh dont think so buddy" but then other dreams i kick absolute ass and i can run super speed and jump really high and im basically super human. wierd.

To dream that you are unable to throw a punch indicates that you are feeling helpless. You may have self-esteem and confidence issues. The dream may also be due to REM paralysis.
