The Sense of touch....

Having lucid dreams filled with sensations. I've felt tempurature, wind, solid objects with texture. For ex. Once I was in a hall full of people wandering so I began to question them about their purpose and direction. I soon began demanding answers when I notice one particular person seem eye me a began to come my way. As I prepared to address him he reached out and grabbed me on my left side as if to discipline me for asking too many questions. As a result the lucid dream ended but I sat in the bed with my side actually feeling like my ribs were in a vice grip. It took me awhile to get back to sleep that night because it actually felt like I was attacked. For a couple of days afterwards every time I thought about it, the sensation in my side would return as if it was part of my muscle memory as if I was really grabbed. Any other senstations out there????

Once I dreamed I got shot in the foot with a paintball, and when I woke up I could still feel it.

Once, I started choking in a dream, and I woke up trying to catch my breath.

Yes, I've had this happen quite a few times.
What lasts much longer than a physical feeling is a strong emotion though.
For example if you fall in love in a dream, you can sometimes feel this really awesome sensation even hours after waking up.

Yes Hyu! It kind of sucks at first too, because that feeling of love is such a really great feeling. It is a bit of a disappointment when you wake up and realize it was a dream. Though after the initial disappointment, it really makes you appreciate the power of the dream world. That a simple dream can make you feel that happy. Great stuff.

@OP, aside from the emotional impact that dreams can have, dreamers often wake up before SP has completely broken. This can cause dream related sensations to carry over into waking life.
