It would reveal the source of the marks. If they are indeed caused by the dream, then you should be able to see them forming on the person as they sleep. Should be fascinating.
ditto.


i mean, what you hypothesize is possible, but i'd be wary to account it to dreaming just yet. it would make more sense that whatever caused the bruise, or bitemark in real life caused you to dream of a coinciding cause in your dream world.

the other night i had a LD where a police cuffed my right hand rather roughly, and soon after i woke up. my right wrist was quite sore. but, i merely took this to mean that my sore wrist caused me to dream of a dream cause.
