Thread: Pain in Lucid Dreams?

I find that when I'm LDing. I feel a slight pain when I get hurt, Its very slight but it still hurts.
When I'm LDing and its cold in my room I'll feel the cold in the awake world but at the same time ill feel everything in the Dream World. (Mostly its all temperature or emotion wise)

I also notice that when my alarm clock goes off while I'm LDing the sound will come into my dreams and it'll effect my dreams.

Lucky, the majority of my lucids have ended that way!!

hi!
Before I joined DV, to experiment into my lucids, I used to do things which would lead me to death in real life. one of those things was to jump from heights. Every new attempt I did in the next LD, I was feeling it more and more real, then I started to feel pain. I stopped doing that because I thought my mind was starting to reproduce pain, may be, wondering about how could it feel.

I had a dream the other night I was in some spy movie and the bad guy injected something - a microchip bomb or something - into my eye. I FELT IT going in behind my eye. It hurt. Then I kinda went "Wait a minute, this can't be happening. It's not real. It's a dream".

Unfortunately I then frickin' woke up.

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.

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.

Try to read something in your dream. Much more interesting.

Cheers

What makes reading so interesting for you?

Being completely confident that you can not be harmed in a dream is a very valuable thing indeed. And proving it, is fun.

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.

wow to brutal.


Interestingly a couple of nights ago when I was trying to get lucid I bit my toung in a dream(a dream sign of my own making since I dont feal pain usually) but this time it hurt in the dream. I'm thinking it failed was because it was such a vivid dream in the first place.

ive never personaly tried it but i imagine that pain is just an extension of touching things, like if you say put your hand on a table then push as hard as you can you would start to feel pain but if as some people are saying you only feel pain if you foucus on something it could be because in real life you instincitivly avoid pain so maybe your brain does in dreams to interesting

I know this is a really old thread, but if anyone is still looking---from someone who's very experienced with it, pain in lucid dreaming is not pleasant. Obviously it does depend on what kind of pain you're feeling. I've been stabbed through the chest, I've had razor blades in my mouth, I've thrown up needles, and I've been dismembered. I'm sure it's nothing like the real thing, but let me tell you, it isn't pleasant! I know curiosity will drive you to keep trying. I just wouldn't recommend it. It's not fun.
