Do You Feel?...

[Volcon]

I have never lucid dreamed and im now planing on learning how to, but i was wondering while you are lucid dreaming do you "feel" what happens in the dream? like if you were to be turned into a dog while in a lucid dream would you feel what a dog feels? you probebly get my point. Thanks, Volcon

ya you do feel stuff. its actually quite amazing. but im sure your wondering if you can feel, you know, sex. the answer is yes, but i'm sure its not like the real thing.

[Volcon]

Um im not sure thats what i ment but ok lol. Thanks for the awnser. cant wait to start actually lucid dreaming sounds like one hell of a adventure.

hmm. well thats usually what people ask this question for. i guess i jumped to conclusions too quickly. i find it really wierd that your sense still "work" while your dream. you can taste, hear, feel, and obviously see stuff. i'm not sure about smell though, i've never smelt anything in my dreams.

[Volcon]

Hm thats really intresting. considering that you know your dreaming you think that your mind would deduce that the feelings cant be possible and tune them out but it dosent. i have another question. while your lucid dreaming can you call on memories? like can you think like you would if you were awake. while lucid dreaming can you think as clearly as you can in day? do you actually have logic and remember what you see and stuff? thanks again. By the way the stuff i just asked above was kinda all part of the same question. im just saying it in multiple questions to try to get what im asking across.

[Casualtie]

yup. thats the beauty of lucid dreaming. if you get to a high enough level with it. it feels like waking life, except you know you dreaming and you can do whatever you want. you think the same way you would right now. with low level lucid dreaming, sometimes you accept things you wouldn't normally in real life, but thats because its low level. if you haven't already i suggest you read some of the tutorials.

[Volcon]

Whoa thats cool. . Yep i read the tutorials but alot of times when i get going i dont even remember what i read and just start asking qeustions. well i have all the motiavtion i need to start learning. better start on my dream journal. Thanks again for the response.

[Casualtie]

ya, i defenately suggest you start a dream journal. it'll help you out with recall a lot. a motivation is a key thing in sparking vivid dreams. if you need any more help, send me a PM. and btw, welcome to dream views

Something that is better than feeling is actually seeing the sights that you see. I've always had one place in particular that I was afraid of it was a camp site that had a lake and river and I tend to always get something similar to that lake. But it is such a beautiful place when your in a dreaming seeing something similar to it. (I always seem to end up in the water in my dream when in real life I'd not even be 10ft near the edge) Another thing that is pretty funny after you wake up is you realize how could you not have realized you were dreaming when there is such wierd things going on as if this was some sort of harry potter movie where you see such wierd things and believe its true. Feeling is fun, but soon you will find seeing is the best, just imagine being in a battle that took place in lord of the rings, hordes of orcs, you get the picture. Dreaming is like being awake 24/7 because if your not actually living in the physical world then you're busy playing around in the dream world. Hope you have fun in the dream world

Well just from the feeling you can tell its a lucid dream sorta. Theres small difernces but they can be overlook easily. The most common dream dream feelings are speed (you jump up two storries and feel the wind whistleing by. You are driving an airship and can feel those Gs racking up as you take a really sharp turn.) Pain, or sorta. Yes, you feel pain but its sorta toned down. That is, unless you're expecting it to really hurt... ouch. And stuff like that. Your body beleives what its senses are telling it as the truth and reacts accordingly so you get the same feelings as you would in real life. Also, your brain cant stand it if thinks dont match up so it fills in the gaps for you. And all is good =P

It does seem like most sensations are a little more intensified than normal. As far as turning into something like a Dog or maybe something mechanical I don't think you can get the feeling of that type of Morph because the mind doesn't know what it's really like to be a toaster if you were to transform into one in a dream. Just my thought on it.
