Naah you can feel pain in LDs. I've went paintballing in one and it HURT :D (I love close-combat paintball)
Oh well there is definately pain. You can't die. I even tested it. I jumped off a skyscraper, had someone shoot me in the face, blow myself up. I just restart the dream.
They are just dreams, lucid or not. You will not suffer physical injuries in reality if you suffer them in dreams. You can be woken up by pain if it is strong enough, though that depends on the person. Some people don't feel any pain at all in lucids, but, again, that depends on the person.
If you die in a dream or lucid dream, you won't die in RL. I'm sure everyone at some point died in a normal dream and still woke up fine in RL. As for pain, some people feel them in LDs while others don't. It works on your expectations, so, if you don't expect to feel it, you won't :P
My back was clawed by a lion in my first or second LD, I woke up and felt scratch marks on my back.
After everything short of panicking I realized that it was my girlfriend that left them.
But if I do participate in strenuous activity in one, I spend the rest of the day with an irregular pulse.
So I guess they can have a physical effect on you, it's just to a certain extent.
I once had a non-lucid dream where I banged my head on a wall. I was about to become lucid but it hurt so much that I thought it was real life.
I also died a damn lot of times in my dreams. Sometimes about 5 or 6 times in a row. I like dying in dreams because whenever I do so, my awareness increases (don't know why). I had a lot of LDs from dying when I was a kid.
I had a non-lucid dream where I fell from a tall office building in a city. I hit the ground and died on impact. I felt nothing, it was pretty awesome.
I dont feel pain in any of my dreams. All that I can feel is a slight pressure, like if I'm shot or stabbed I feel pressure at the point of impact.
Does the whole falling off a cliff and waking up right before you hit the ground count as dying in a dream? If not, then I have never died in a dream. Even in those dreams, usually before I would hit, something would rescue me and then proceed to pull me along right above the ground at a high rate of speed. It felt like being scooped up by a giant invisible bird or something.
This comes up fairly frequently, but...Quote:

Look at the figures, and the applied probability: countless humans have "died in their sleep" over the millenia. Can anyone honestly say that none of these was dreaming/LDing when they died? No. Contrarily, I would say that it is highly probable that some of those who died in such a way were dreaming at the time, so..
Everyone? Are you sure? I've never "died" in an LD nor in normal dreaming.Quote:
