Thread: Feeling In Dreams.

I never really felt anything in dreams before, like the whole "pinch your arm and if doesn't hurt then your dreaming thing".

Since I've been LDing the last few months, I have started to feel the environment and objects in dreams without lucidity. Its really cool.

Anyone else experienced this since LDing?

I'm pretty sure I've always felt in dreams. Probably not as intensely as I would in real life but I always feel the good and the bad. Like when I am running I can feel my legs gettin heavy and aching. I remember feeling cold too. Now that I think about it I think I only feel when it adds to the storyline or my feelings in the dream.

In most of my dreams, I have accurate sensory perceptions - sight, sound, touch (taste and scent to a lesser extent). I've always enjoyed the realism of my dreams, although I certainly appreciate it more while lucid.

I don't think I feel stuff in non-lucid dreams, but I think it's because you don't pay attention to feeling in normal dreams, where in LD's you're curious and want to explore.

That's a common known lie thought up by movies. You can indeed feel in Normal Dreams.

I could feel falling onto grass and a couple other objects in my LD.

I don't remember feeling anything before. I've had feeling (emotion), and I've "felt" pain, but it's not the same. It's more like I know it's there rather than the actual feeling. So I guess the answer is probably yes, but on a very watered down scale.

I usually feel pain in dreams. I don't feel much emotion (I never had a fading-upon-lucidity problem) and most of my senses are dulled.

I very often feel things in my dreams, especially pain. I can also read in my dreams... so testing the ability to read as a dreamsign doesn't work for me.

I've only started to feel things in non lucid dreams, its cool but last night I dreamt I knocked my tooth out and it felt so real, woke up feeling scared.
Has its good side and a bad one too.

In my experience it's abnormal for me to feel something in a dream. There's plenty of dreams where I have been in a pool or in the waves of a beach I don't recall a single time where I felt any kind of liquid.

In Lucid dreams, I only felt pain once but I think it was due to my body acting upon the dream. In other LDs I never felt temperature or wind, or even the objects I manipulate such as when I once played a bass guitar.

But I think it might be related to the way I think in real life. I never really concentrate on my senses, I'm a big day dreamer and often get lost in thought.
