Anyone else experience physical sensation while dreaming?
January 28, 2017 at 2:47 pm
I don't experience this often but when I do, it really sticks out in my mind, and I'm usually able to remember details about my dreams more when this sort of thing happens in them. I won't go into all of them but the most recent one I had less than a week ago.
I don't know why but in my dream I was trying frantically to get a dead spider that had somehow gotten lodged under the skin in my shin removed, and after what I think was the third serious attempt to get someone to perform surgery to do so, I instead re-lived the experience of a needle going into my thumb from a year and a half ago when I got hit by a car and my thumbnail partially broke off and needed to have the blood drained from underneath it so the entire nail wouldn't be lost. Even though they numbed it, that tiny little sharp sensation still manages to get through although it isn't so uncomfortable that you can't tolerate it.
I can't say whether anything happening to my body was going on that triggered this, like an actual spider biting my thumb (I woke up and saw no signs of such) since I know certain external stimuli can influence dreams, but when it means you actually experience tactile sensation while you're unconscious and in various stages of sleep, it really goes against the idea that things in your dream can't hurt you. Although I do remember in tenth grade I had a dream where I blew my head off with a shotgun and didn't feel that, I just woke up with a shock (it was either shotgun-suicide or get fucked up by the Nemesis from the Resident Evil series, so I opted for the lesser of two evils, in case you're wondering why that particular thing happened in one of my dreams.)
Anyone else occasionally (or frequently?) able to remember vividly experiencing physical sensation while you're dreaming? Any lucid dreamers try to experiment with this?

falling
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

Wet dreams lol
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."

Quite often actually.
Falling, driving, eating, kissing even.

I think everyone is kind of missing the key component; I understand that the sensation of falling is an experience we sometimes have while dreaming, but I'm talking about something we experience in a tactile sense, i.e. by touching. I remember dreams where I've felt uncomfortable levels of heat from sunlight on my back walking through the schoolyard. Dreams about getting in a fight with my best friend and feeling like I'm literally having something painful jabbing me in an uncomfortable area.
Things we would feel with our skin, with the nerve endings and whatnot. Those kinds of tactile sensations while dreaming.

How do you even know that you are awake right now? This could be a dream.

You feel all of those things with your brain. Your nerve endings send signals (or, sometimes...don't).
