Pain?

So i had a dream last night and i became lucid, I tried to fly and I fell on the floor and landed on my knees.I woke up and my knees hurt.
Also in past dreams i have woken up from nightmares etc holding my chest. Also Ive woken up sitting up trying to stick my finger through my hand (I have been performing a reality check in the dream). How come i felt pain? Im a little afraid now because what if i was to try jumping out a window in my dream and end up getting rlly hurt in the dream? Would i feel the pain when i wake up?

Actually, as known your mind simulates all senses in a dream, so you can see, smell, hear, taste and FEEL.
When you wake up during a dream, you may have a rest of this non-real feeling in your body, because your mind creates it.

But I can really calm you, you'll never feel REAL pain. In a dream you can be hitten by a car, fall to the ground from every high, fight the sickest battles, I once even "died". It will never do any harm to you real body, the only thing you might experience are light pains for the moment you woke up from a dream, but extreme things are not possible.

Cheers

Thanks alot.
anyone else have anything to say?

I always thought pain was because your real body hurt.. But no pain is really excruciating in dreams because I have been shot, shot in half, you name it. It just is like a weird pressure like someone through an orange at me.

Yes, I do. Cheeseburgers taste better with pickles on them.

But in all seriousness, I am a huge believer that when you feel pain in your dreams and wake up actually feeling the same pain, it's not because you dreamed about it. Conversly, you most likely dream about pain because your real body feels it during the night.

Let me give you some personal examples. These don't include pain, but can be applied the same way. I once dreamed that I saw a large 2-D animated head in the sky, right next to me. I bashed its teeth out with a broom handle, and as I did that, it would cry. This happened about two or three times before I woke up to my baby crying.

So...did my dream affect the real world, or did the real world affect my dream? I'm sure you know what I'm saying.

You only feel pain in dreams if you pay attention to it. If there is something else to distract you, you won't feel a thing. Works much the same in RL. If you look at painful injury through the wrong end of binoculars, making it appear small, it actually lessens the pain.

I think it makes sense that you could still feel it after you woke up, you were just still focused on it. Just don't worry about it. The more you do, the worse it will get.

Oh story time! I once had a dream the water company that supplies us with drinking water called. I had a dream they called, when they called.

ok thanks guys.

So can we say that pain is common or uncommon in dreams? Just last night I had one again. It's always a little cat or a little dog that latches on to my finger with very sharp teeth and it hurts. In the dream. Fortunately those dreams are rare. Until I had my first such dream I thought that pain was impossible in a dream. Now I'm wondering what would happen if I put my hand in a blazing camp fire or stepped in front of a moving train.
Maybe I feel real pain because my dreams are extremely real, exactly like reality.
