We all know the expression "pinch me, I must be dreaming." However, today during a discussion in my philosophy class the question was raised of whether or not one actually can feel physical pain in dreams (it's important to clarify that I mean pain strictly as a result of an event in the dream: if, say, you feel sick in your dream and then you wake up to find you have a stomach flu, that doesn't count.)

1) Have you ever felt physical pain in a dream. More than once? Have you felt other physical or touch sensations, but not pain?


The results of this should be interesting. I'd to a spiffy official poll but apparently those are only for subscribers.
