Thread: A lucid dream...and i felt

If you can eat tons of calories a day and manage to not get fat....then you are indeed, an advanced energy user. It's a rare skill, often envied by the peers who strive for their accepted idea of a physical body....jk

I'm not surprised by people who say their dreams feel more real that our waking lives. Certainly, a lot more interesting things happen there, usually. Your sensation of that punch is probably close enough to what it would really feel like.

I've talked with people on accounts of getting poured upon with bullets, recalling it to be "hurting like hell." Hey, if you can feel emotion in dreams, there's no reason not to feel physical pain. They are both, to a degree, bodily contained phenomena.

So, you are surprised that you would feel the pain of a dream punch? It can be easily explained. When you get, for example, punched in real life the pain is caused by nerve impulses from the brain, and the punch can result in physical damage. So when you are dreaming and you are punched the brain knows to expect pain in such a situation and so it reacts exactly as it would if you were punched in real life. That doesn't happen for everyone, though. And that doesn't necessarily mean that the pain is even occuring in real life to your body. Although I have had my arm shot in a dream and when I woke up it really hurt, and in the same place. So really, even if I'm a little bit off here, I believe that the brain simply mimicks the impulses of pain in your dream. That's my theory, really. Heck, it makes sense for all I can gather.
