Thread: Feeling In Dreams.

I'm pretty sure I've always felt in dreams. Probably not as intensely as I would in real life but I always feel the good and the bad. Like when I am running I can feel my legs gettin heavy and aching. I remember feeling cold too. Now that I think about it I think I only feel when it adds to the storyline or my feelings in the dream.

In most of my dreams, I have accurate sensory perceptions - sight, sound, touch (taste and scent to a lesser extent). I've always enjoyed the realism of my dreams, although I certainly appreciate it more while lucid.

I don't think I feel stuff in non-lucid dreams, but I think it's because you don't pay attention to feeling in normal dreams, where in LD's you're curious and want to explore.

That's a common known lie thought up by movies. You can indeed feel in Normal Dreams.

I could feel falling onto grass and a couple other objects in my LD.

I don't remember feeling anything before. I've had feeling (emotion), and I've "felt" pain, but it's not the same. It's more like I know it's there rather than the actual feeling. So I guess the answer is probably yes, but on a very watered down scale.

I usually feel pain in dreams. I don't feel much emotion (I never had a fading-upon-lucidity problem) and most of my senses are dulled.

Since I've been LDing the last few months, I have started to feel the environment and objects in dreams without lucidity. Its really cool.

Anyone else experienced this since LDing?

I very often feel things in my dreams, especially pain. I can also read in my dreams... so testing the ability to read as a dreamsign doesn't work for me.

I've only started to feel things in non lucid dreams, its cool but last night I dreamt I knocked my tooth out and it felt so real, woke up feeling scared.
Has its good side and a bad one too.

In my experience it's abnormal for me to feel something in a dream. There's plenty of dreams where I have been in a pool or in the waves of a beach I don't recall a single time where I felt any kind of liquid.

In Lucid dreams, I only felt pain once but I think it was due to my body acting upon the dream. In other LDs I never felt temperature or wind, or even the objects I manipulate such as when I once played a bass guitar.

But I think it might be related to the way I think in real life. I never really concentrate on my senses, I'm a big day dreamer and often get lost in thought.
