Thread: Why is it that...

Things feel extremely real and sometimes even more real than in life in a lucid dream, but one almost never feels pain in a lucid dream?

I know for a fact pain can exist in dreams, as well as other feelngs such as fear. If you never felt pain while lucid it may be because you don't want to or don't expect to. This can be why reality checks such as pinching oneself often fail.

I don't know if I have ever experienced pain in a dream that I wasn't already having in my physical body in real life (injury, illness, etc). Even when I am shot, stabbed, punched, kicked, or fall to the ground I don't really feel pain in dreams.

Which is good, I suppose.

I feel pain in dreams.

I feel pain as well sometimes. I deffinetly know about fear in dreams; I sometimes have normal dreams but then, like a flash out of nowhere, a cougar will jump out and attack me That is the scariest thing in my dream world

I've experienced pain in dreams before. A spider bit me and it hurt like hell. I'd been trying to flip over it and i guess it didn't like that.

I've never felt pain in my dreams... But I don't remember enything like someone shooting me or a spider bit me... But I have a question for you! Can we stop the pain if we think that we are in a dream? Has anyone ever felt the pain and the became lucid?
