Hello there,

I carry a dream journal and have been trying to master the art of lucid dreaming for some time now.
When I am sleeping, I sometimes face a very weird situation. I googled it and henceforth came across this site.
I am hoping someone might have some explanation here.

Here's my situation :

Sometimes as the dream is going on, out of nowhere, I feel that my testicles are getting pulled to the inside. Obviously the dream gives me an interpretation of it (such as: someone else or even myself is squeezing them).
The problem is that I feel the pain "for real". I feel that if it doesn't stop, my testicles will be pulled inside my body.
Now it has happened many a times.
The effect is such that whenever it happens now, I realize that its a dream (but my body still feels the pain despite the fact that I am aware I am dreaming). And I try really hard to wake myself up.
As I wake up, I could still feel the testicles pulled for a fraction of a second.

Is there any explanation for this?
Has lucid dreaming got anything to do with it?

Regards.
