Thread: Pain in Lucid Dreams?

I dont seem to feel at all. EG if i touch an object then I cant feel it. This would be a normal dream though, ive never tried in a lucid.

The strange thing aobut dreams is that emotions and senses can be dulled and intesified. Luicid or not. How these mechanics work are up to question however. Perhaps its what we give attention to and what we ignore in a dream.

Once in a non-lucid dream, I shot myself (I had a good reason to do so) in the neck- there was no pain, I managed to get out a few words, felt the blood on my hands, and everything faded over white. I then "respawned" inside a grand house with my friend, who agreed that it had been the coolest thing she had ever seen. It was though I had been dreaming and woken up, but the dream had still happened. But I disgress, it wasn't painful at all (even though it should have been).

That happens to me too most of the time when I die. Either that, or I wake up.

In a non-LD last night I was in a fight for my life and the pain was more a dull, gnawing discomfort. But the night before (also in a non-lucid) I passed out from heat stroke in a dream and boy could I feel that heat!

I don't feel pain at all when I'm fully Lucid because I know I don't have to.
I have done things like, stab myself in the stomach with a knife.

Put my mouth on the barrel of a shotgun, and let somebody try to blow my head off.

Hack my hand off at the wrist with a meat cleaver.

Dive head first into a lake of molten lava.

Let semi trucks, and other vehicles run me over.

Let a tall building fall on me. (Several times.)

Let pin head from "Hell Raiser" tear my arms off at the shoulders.

slam head first into the ground.

That's just a few off the top of my head. I'm currently working on biting my own fingers off.

I plan to try cutting myself in half with a chainsaw sometime.


though, I have felt a little bit of pain in non Lucids. Like, I was swimming in a lake recently and fish were biting my feet, and it felt painful.

this is the point: you know you don't have to.

I think If someone waits for pain then he/she will feel it. May be according to his/her own real life experience.

Haha, you violent mofo! Use the Gears of War chainsaw for that last one.

I think that you can imagine pain and make it seem like pain, but without the staggering effects. I get hit by bullets in normal-dreams, as I still have to have a decent, controlable dream, but in my non-lucids it hurts, but not in "pain" kinda way, if you get me.
