Out Of Breath?

I was reading some various forums today, and I came across a lucid where sex was involved and the author of the post said that he was "out of breath" at the end of the event. This leaves me to ponder, can one become tired in a dream? Like if I decided to run faster than the cars on the highway would I start to pant, and would my legs burn?

Has anyone experienced this phenomenon? I haven't been lucid yet so I'm not sure. Since it is in your mind it shouldn't affect you, but would your mind trick you? could you tell yourself that you can't get tired and then run as far and as fast as you like without worry of exhaustion?

If you honestly believed that you wouldn't get tired then you wouldn't, when your mind makes things the way they are it because you believe to can be, should be, or is supposed to be that way.

It's like pain, which I believe exists in dreams [for it is a state of mind], so even if it doesn't actually exist in them, if I get stabbed in the ugt, I'm going to feel the pain because I believe I would (which has happened in a dream of mine before).

hmmm, interesting. I've felt pain too, but when I looked to see where the wound was there were no marks and with that realization the pain dissapeared as if it had been turned off with a switch.

one thing that I want to do if I ever get proficient with lucidity is that I want to, is instead of traveling by flight, to "fall with style". I want to leap stuff like the grand canyon without a running start, like the incredible hulk film but without being big and green. I was a little worried that my dream body remembering what my realbody can take would not comply with this.

Ah, with good reason to hold fear to your real-body and dream-body's links to one another. But until you overcome that fear, it will hurt. If you do things spur of the moment and trust it will work, it will.

I've never jumped off of a canyon before but I have jumped 200 [or was it 300?] floors of an old, wooden, Asian dojo styled-school. I didn't feel even the slightest bit of pain, I kept jumping from the top floor to the 1st and vice versa [that schools way of travelling, but without a 2-199 or 2-299 stop/jump in between].

It's hard to believe that you will get over the fear of the waking world's 'logic' or 'realities' but in time you will, because being lucid makes a person feel quite happy and confident with themselves [at leas tin their dream]. I hope you get a LD soon to try it out yourself and see how different it is from a non-lucid dream.
