Headache + Atempted WILD = Massive Dream Pains

**thesimp** · 12-10-2012 12:07 PM

Last night I had a massive headache but I managed to slip off into sleep and awoke in a normal-ish dream but there I still had the headache and sometimes it'd throb and I'd be tossed back into my bed (I think) and then back into the same dream.

Basically, it hurt... bad.

Least it stopped.

Is this some side effect of doing a WILD + Headache?

Our big human brain will incorporate stimuli, including physical pain, into dreams. Last night I was dreaming that I needed a transfusion through the calf of my leg. It was painful in the dream. I woke up with a leg cramp. I am sure the leg cramp occurred first and the dream adapted to the presence of pain.

If you go to bed with headache, sometimes you still wake up with a headache. If you had a dream between or not, makes no difference. Dream did not cause it, it just reflected it. Pain can frequently show up in a dream. Your arm gets in a crooked position, your earring digs into your ear... these can all get incorporated in your dream.
