Thread: Disabilities and Lucid Dreams: Your Opinion?

I'm just thinking here- you say that a paralyzed person wouldn't be able to really "experience" walking in a dream because they had never walked before in real life. But, I'm assuming none of us have ever flown in a dream, or stuck a finger through our palm, or any of the other weird crap we do in dreams, but that sensation is definitely there. It might not feel the same to a disabled person as it would to anyone else, but I think there would be at least some sensation.

We have an idea of what flying would be like though. I'm sure that people who are paralyzed have an idea of what walking would be like and that is what I think they would feel in a dream. I don't think they would experience what walking really is like for a non-paralyzed person though, since they have never experienced it.
