Nociception is a sense like sight and hearing. It’s normal to feel pain, in a LD, any sense can be felt, although the most common are sight, hearing and touch. Kinesthesioception is also quite common, most people feel it when falling, it is often so overwhelming that you wake up instantly.
Sometimes you even have extra senses, like the ability to detect magnetic fields.
I got a needle in my feet in a NLD tonight. It wasn’t really pain, more like a strong itch. But the interesting thing was that when I woke up the feeling was still in my feet for probably 10 seconds.
I can feel pain in my dreams. It’s normally not fluffy pain either.
I always felt pain in my dreams, LD or ND. Once I dreamt I had several maggots eating from inside out my heels… it felt like several needles were picking it.
I have felt pain in ld’s. But most of the time I’m pretty indestructible.
