In my last lucid, i was flying peacefully heading to maldive islands .Suddenly i noticed the presence of a DC flying next to me .then,i landed on e.arth and he followed me .he was holding a knife, i said to him that im the owner of this world , that he is just a little part of my mind and threatened him that i will kill him .Then he stabbed me with his knife , i felt a temporary awfull pain and began punching him untill i knocked him out . finally i called a little cloud from the sky and went to maldives flying as goku's style.

Yes, quite a few times actually!

One of the most memorable LDs from my childhood was a chain about cockroach-like body snatching aliens. It became a DILD I couldn't wake up from and each time I "died" the dream restarted... Eventually I woke up of course but was killed in like 5 or 6 different ways... Some, like being repeatedly stubbed with talons, were very painful indeed...

Other instances of pain in LDs are in fight scenes and such, but usually there is little pain - more a sense of pressure (e.g. from a punch to the stomach). But sometimes there is more pain than other times... I think it's kinda random and depends on the activity of that part of the brain at the moment... Once I even felt pain from preforming a breathing RC, and momentarily woke up "out of body" as a result (but quickly returned to the LD).

Once in a lucid dream i saw a thorn bush and decided to push the thorn with my finger and it actually hurt the same as it would in real life....i suppose im not suprised tho as your brain can easily re created pain

I've experienced pain multiple times, usually as a result of dogs, cats, sharks, and dolphins biting me. The most pain I've felt was when I touched the tooth of a DC who looked a lot like this.

It was as painful as a getting a shot.

I don't think I've ever experienced real pain in an LD. The only thing I feel that is kinda relatable to pain is pressure. For example, One time I was riding in a helicopter in an LD and this guy and his girlfriend were on the helicopter with me. I decided to make a move on his girlfriend. I scooted closer to her and told her "Only a real man like me can handle those cheeks". Her boyfriend heard this and yelled at me "Who do you think you are?!" and then threw me out of the side of the helicopter. I fell at least 500 feet to the ground and when I hit it I felt no pain, but instead pressure, and it wasn't a painful pressure either. It felt like when you push your hands together.

In all, the answer to your question is a no from me haha. I wonder consider the pressure a pain at all.

I have muted pain sometimes...dogs grabbing ahold of my hand with a strong hold... a lot of pressure and mild discomfort. But one time there was an evil being in the dream and I experienced a spiritual/physical pain hard to describe but much more painful at his touch or he jabbed me with something.

I can't really find any significant instance of pain in any of the dreams I've recorded over my lifetime so far, even when I've done things that “should” be painful, such as touching hot objects, jumping from a large height, etc. I've purposely done things like this fairly often in my LDs, and always confidently, because I've come to know that physical pain, for whatever reason, just isn't a thing in them.

i've also always believed that all types of pain can't occur while dreaming .Before the fight i wasn't expecting that i will feel a realistic pain if i received an attack from the DC.

I have experienced pain in lucid dreams, but in my experience said pain is usually quite muted and benign in comparison to pain in the real world. I could chop my arm off in a lucid dream and I'd probably be like "Ow! That stings!" but I wouldn't be screaming in agony like if I did it in the real world.

I think negative emotions like fear, pain etc are all muted for me in lucid dreams because my brain knows the experience isn't real and that I can exit out of it at any moment. I've pretty much stopped having nightmares since I started getting lucid regularly because even if I don't become lucid in the nightmare, my brain still remembers somehow from my lucid dreams that I can wake myself up from negative situations, so usually wakes me right up when I experience anything scary.
