Yes, you can feel things perfectly in dreams.
Sometimes even better than in real life.
Ok Thanks thats been bugging me for a while now thanks for clearing that up.Quote:

*nod* yah pretty much sensation is the same; touch, hear, taste (sometimes its different) etc...
my favorite is to find a cliff \ building \ other high place to jump off of. The rising feeling in my stomach, the wind roaring past my ears... it's all so perfect....
*edit* btw welcome to the forums Lord Kuro!!
As the others have said, dreams are usually just as real - if not more real - than real life. :)
Welcome to Dreamviews!
More real? hows that?!?!?Quote:

You could try staying up all day, then the following night and stay up the next day and then go to sleep. You probably would fall asleep immediately! :PQuote:

Anyway, yeah, you can do pretty much anything you like. Sometimes I get hungry in my lucid dreaming and I eat lot and lots of chocolate. :oops: Tastes heaps better than normal 'reality' chocolate any day.
hmmmm maybe ill use them to learn to talk to the girl i like without panicing lol
Yeh, that could be good practice for the actual thing. Good luck!
That can be good practice, just remember that her reactions in the dream will be completely what you expect them to be. :)Quote:

How does it look? Now think about this, what we see is obviously controlled by how we see it. For example, just because you can't see behind you does not mean there is nothing there at the moment. Likewise, just because you aren't experiencing something doesn't mean it isn't happening. Also, those imperfections in our vision that may occur aren't physically there. Common sense says that nobody else sees your floaters. Colors appear to change by the strength of lighting (notice how hard it is to tell colors in low light). Feeling something can differentiate on various parts of the body based on their sensitivity. However, when you are dreaming you could observe the world purely (however still limited by what the brain knows of course) without these restraints. For example, theoretically you could see all around you. Your vision can be as perfect as you can imagine. Those annoying and floaters and flickers don't have to exist. You can see bright colors in the dark or in the light. You can feel as well on your back as you do on the bottoms of your feet.Quote:

Is the way a dog sees the world any less "real" than the way we see it? You could go on forever this way. By allowing your mind, and only your mind to decide what truly is real, if you looked at it closely, you could decide that this experience was "more real than real life."
Feel free to prove me wrong, as I said this is all a random on the spot guess. I feel embarrassed posting it since it might make no logical sense. Oh yeah, and welcome! I forgot about that!
hmmm even if that was a random on the spot guess it was interesting. so long story short it can be as real as i want it to be or maybe even more real. hmmm that makes sense thanks for that.Quote:

HAHA yeah i guess thats true.Quote:

Even if you do know someone very well, the dream representation of them will be influenced by how you expect them to react.Quote:
