When I dream, I tend to see myself in the 3rd person. At least, that's how I remember most of mine. I never feel any pain, but dying...feels weird. it's as if I was being lifted up really quickly.
I don't know the condition but I remember a dream where I was involved in a minor car accident, I got into an argument with the other driver and ended up head butting his bonnet about half a dozen times(the weird shit you do in dreams!). This didn't get the response I was looking for so I gave the other driver the biggest head butt I could muster and I woke up in immense pain just after impact. It turned out I was head butting the corner of my bedside chest, I was left with a massive bleeding bruise in the middle of my forehead which was quite real“

During REM sleep when dreams occur the body is paralysed so you don't jump off of anything high. You might get the odd twitch but all this thrashing about in the bed is for Holywood (Unless you're awake of course )

Unless you have a condition called... Can't recall, don't have my psych textbook here with all the names and such. But for some people, REM paralysis doesn't work.

All you can do is remember that you were in pain but you cannot re-experience the pain through memory. The same is true within dreams, you can only imagine painful situations but you cannot experience the pain under those conditions.

Hell, two months ago i had this dream where there was a piece of glass logged in the back of my head, seriously like. And then when I woke up I still had a dull pain in the back of my head. Happy??
*stRgrL* said:Anything with water is usually an indicator that your pregnant/ or someone close to you is pregnant Dont know about the getting shot dream. Ill look it up when I get home.
i have nightmares almost every night, and in these nightmares i usually die in several different ways. sounds weird, but one night i get shot, the next i fall from a building, then i drown.
the weird thing is, it all seems so real! i even feel pain! and that's REAL pain weird enough..
does anyone recognize this?
