I just started getting help for some issues I've had for a long time, and I'm not sure if this might be related to that, or simply a coincidence, but, the last few days, I've been having dreams where something on my body is always in excruciating pain. It's usually something that already hurts or aches in real life (like I get headaches, or, I have a sore on my lip at the moment which hurts just a little) but in the dream, the pain is 1000% worse.
And the weirdest part is, in the dream, I am convinced that I am awake in bed, and that the pain is real. And so then I go on lying there and thinking about how this is just one more difficult thing to deal with, and deciding if I want to take pain medicine, etc. And then when I actually wake up, it takes me a few minutes to realize that the pain was in my dream and that the thing that hurts just hurts a little, and not nearly as much as it did in the dream. What on earth is up with this? Is this normal at all? I've never heard of this before, and have never experienced it until this week. And I don't like it ![]() Briar |

Hi! I do know people can incorporate aspects of current reality into their dreams. For example, they might interpret the alarm clock as a fire alarm in a dream or dream about being at the South Pole when they are really cold. You must be having a lot of pain!

Perhaps your dream is teaching you that the mind can create and magnify pain. It must feel good to realise you can wake up and the horrific pain is gone. Maybe your dream is encouraging you to know that even If your mind wants to convince your your problems cause you terrible pain, you can always wake up to a different perspective.
