I've become interested in researching into a new side of LDing. That is, experienceing pain. I don't want to sound emo but it is an interesting concept. Say if you picked up a knife in the dream world and stabbed it into your leg. Does your mind produce the sensation of pain? If so, does lucidity make it realistic? If so, does your brain produce this pain in your physical leg?

Surely like everything else in a true Lucid Dream, experiencing the sensation of pain would be as realistic as the real world. Or does this have to do with your amount of dream control? This brings me to another interesting point. If pain is acheivable, could death be a possibility? Although experiencing pain is something everyone has done in their waking life, could it be possible to die in a lucid dream?

In 'The Matrix' movie, if you die there, you die in the real world. If you died in a lucid dream, would your brain still function in the real world? Without the mind, the body should cease to function. Just some things I'd like to bring up, maybe it can spark some theoretical conversation into the world of Lucid Dreaming.
