Have You Ever Experienced A "dream Feeling"?

<div align="center"> </div><div align="center">Hello, and thanks in advance for taking the poll&#33; Perhaps you&#39;re wondering, what is a dream feeling? It&#39;s simple - an odd sensation you feel only in your dreams. Whatever it is, it&#39;ll be personal to you. For example, a detached feeling in your legs. If you&#39;ve answered yes in the poll, please elaborate&#33; What sort of feelings do you get? The information will be used in the development of a new technique by Sythix. Thank you again&#33; </div>

I experience dream feelings in both my lucid and non-lucid dreams. It's like an awareness that envelops me and I feel connected to the dream in some way.

I get that feeling when I'm lucid and not lucid [though you'd think it'd make you lucid]. The feelings vary depending on the cause. I do feel dettached to my dream body every so often or everything has a slight hazy 'glow' to it [even the darkness O.o]. There's been times in dreams where everything makes me feel numb in ways I've never felt in real life, I guess it's similar to a literal dead feeling. Sometimes an extreme paranoia grips me, worse than the times I thought I'd die in a car ride or jumped at my reflection in a mirror [yeah, I've been paranoid since I was 11]. Then there are times when everything's in hyper-reality mode, the trees are so detailed, textures are perfect even just by looking at something, taste is in an extremely sensitive to the weakest of elements [does that make sense]. At least, I consider it hyper-reality since the details are even shocking to me, and IRL I already see the world in a detailed manner [13/20 eyesight] There's one feeling though that I've only experienced when lucid and it was caused by a DC, it was something I sensed, something that made you feel like you're not alone in your dream like someone else is really there, like that DC isn't a DC, he had good memory too, my DCs with me couldn't remember certain things but he did... Sorry, ranting a bit. The feeling was like that you'd get when you'd sense another person's aura or prescence and it just felt sort of powerful, it's kind of hard to describe but I haven't forgot the feeling. Wow, this post was long

hum.. I think in non and lucid dreams. Though, the “dream feeling” occurring in both, I think because the level of awareness in a lucid dream is stronger.

Whenever I have a DILD, I get a strange "whoosh" as soon as I realize it's a dream. Then I notice that everything is much more realistic than 10 seconds ago.

I feel powerful and free with no worries. Love also seems to be much more significant and intense.

For me yes, in both lucid dreams and non. I get a feeling of increased awareness and an odd feeling that something is different, changed, or not the way it is meant to be. I usually don't know what it is that has changed or is different.

There is a dream feeling I have which is so abstract and old that it is hard to explain. It is from one of my earliest memories. I am convinced that it is from a time I couldn't even speak properly. I actually have a memory of waking up from a dream with that dream feeling to my first bed which had these high walls and fence to keep me from falling out of it. The feeling itself has to do with the stark contrast of giantly-unbelievably thick and so-tiny-unbelievably-thin-you-can-hardly-perceive-it. And both perceptions sort of happen simultaneously. Yea, errrm... like I said... hard to explain. I sometimes have this feeling even in waking life and I am sort of struck by it and secretly go "ah! The dream feeling..." LOL

Had a dream a few years back where an alien implanted me in the back of my skull, using a syringe that looked like the ones they use on horses. I woke up with a sharp pain, and felt like something had been injected into my brainmatter. sucked. dunno if this really counts tho I've gotten that 'dreamer's high' before, however.
