Thread: no headache while lucid!

I guess the simplest explanation is because your mind isn't connected to your body, which is feeling the headache. That's happened to me too, a few times. I used to get bad migraines and when I dreamt, they'd always vanish.

Yeah, people who live with chronic pains sometimes say that they don't have said pain during dreams. I wonder if lucid dreaming could be used as a kind of psychological relief and resting time, serving the purpose of a massage or chiropractic visit?

Hmm. This is interesting.

I often go to bed with headaches, because I stay up so late. From the dreams I recall, I don't have headaches, but they aren't lucids, so this could be subjective.

Yeah. But I don't see why being lucid would effect whether or not you are hurting in your dream. Your feelings in dreams, like of pain and such, can be totally unrelated to the feelings felt in waking life.
