Has anybody ever experienced getting stabbed in a dream before? How does it feel? I've been stabbed a couple of dreams and every time it just feels like when you poke a bad bruise.

Like I'm getting poked with a thin rod, and there's like no way to get rid of the feeling. Tried really hard to wake up from that dream.

I have been stabbed in real life. I have been stabbed in dreams. They both feel the same. At first it feels like a poke. Then after the adrenaline it hurts immensely.

I had my throat sliced in a dream once and it was really strange, I guess it was so painful it woke me up but I don't really remember it that well. That's sort of a stab

>>230 Cut myself many times by accident, but was never stabbed by an assailant with an intent to kill me. It will sting, and then depending on how deep the cut is you it'll be painful once the adrenaline wears off.

i got mugged by some guys with knives, started carrying a knife after that. for a while, i had consistent night terrors where i'd get stabbed; it's generally either moderately painful or the fear wakes me up immediately. twice recently when attempting lucid dreams, i've lost control and had sleep paralysis while a girl in my peripheral vision approaches my bed and stabs me in the back. the first time i was in pain for a few minutes before fully waking, whereas the next time a few days later i fully awoke at the moment of penetration.

>>237 are you really sure you want to get into a knifefight? at least with guns its the one who draws first who can disarm the situation, a knifefight is not so sure.

I have been. I was stabbed and my sternum broke to accommodate the knife. In my chest if felt excruciating, like I had swallowed a sharp crisp and it had stuck in my throat except in my chest cavity, and turned up to 11.

>>228 I would describe it for me like this as well. Just an uncomfortable 'there'ness. Being slashed is more painful for me. I imagine if you've never been stabbed it is more like the former, but if your body knows what to expect then it would be as you'd expect.

I've been stabbed only once in a dream. I was at the metro and some guy came up to me and went for it. I instantly collapsed, kind of seized up and felt extreme terror, but when it was over I got to wander around as a spooky ghost which was cool.

>>226 Usually I don't feel pain in my dreams, so it just goes in and it doesn't hurt.

I've "woke up" in dreams after having organs harvested, had limbs amputated, had my body mangled and otherwise torn apart. Had a dream where my D was cut off, and had the awful sensation of hoping it was really a dream. I occasionally feel pain in dreams, but in general, it's just a strong sensation of presence as something stabs in, cuts through, detaches, whatever. Sometimes it's a strong tingling like when your leg has fallen asleep, sometimes it's more blunted. Sometimes it's white hot pain without the pain. I have trigeminal neuralgia and peripheral nerve damage otherwise. After many years it is not surprising that my psyche doesn't bother with the notion of pain.

>>226 I have been. It felt like a weird painful vibration.

several times. i'm soykaf so i've cut before and it feels like that, but amplified. it feels like ant bites and cutlery scraping against a plate. it's a very clean, swift pain.

nobody is on this thread anymore and i know this but: once i had a sequence in a dream where i was a young boy with black hair and was tortured by these two teachers in a university. it was something i had become used to, as they would torture me every single day for their own pleasure. they would make me lay out the clear plastic tarp on top of the metal examination table myself, make me set out the tools. they would break my ribs and cut me open and shove shards of glass inside me, then stitch me back up. they would take me eyes out and fill the empty sockets with sand. they broke my spine. at the end of the dream i became a bird and tried to fly away from them but they cut off my wings, so i took some cardboard and tried to glue them to my limp body to get away from them.

It's happened a few times, but only once did I experience pain. For the first half second or so I just felt the pressure. The odd, rapid...vibration? that the blade makes as it tore me open. Before I knew it, every square inch the blade had made contact with began to give a severe burning sensation and throb with my rapidly increasing heartbeat. Despite the pain in my abdomen I concurrently felt liquid dribbling down my legs, forcing the realization I am mortal, and likely going to die... It fills you not only with crippling physical pain, but overwhelming mental anguish, that right there, you will most likely cease to exist. ...I promptly proceeded to wake up my girlfriend as my scream manifested itself seamlessly from my dream into meatspace, lying in a puddle of cold sweat.

I mainly have nightmares and night terrors (on medication for it but it barely helps) but every bad thing that happens in my dreams I feel. Anything painful or traumatic I've experienced I feel replicated, and anything I haven't experienced (for example, being sliced in half from the front back to the spine and someone ripped me entirely apart) is replicated in the way my brain thinks it would feel. Sleeping is like kicking dead whales down the beach usually.

>>226 I have never been stabbed in a dream, but i have been shot with a shotgun before in a dream, and it felt similar to this >>228

>>226 Yes, but then again I have been stabbed in real life which is probably how my body and mind remembered then emulated the feeling into my dream.

I dreamt i got stabbed in the upper knee i got really scared and i just fell to the ground but no pain as far as i can remember

>>226 I have been stabbed (in the stomach) in real life, but as a child. I don't remember the sensation well. In dreams, it feels like a really strong punch to the stomach + a choking sensation.

I was once cleaved in half. Just felt a strange tingling sensation.

not a stab, but I now remember rather vividly a dream in which I cut my foot off (I don't remember with what tool) and boiled it in a pot, then started to eat it. Then I woke up.

>>1184 forgot to also say it felt like nothing (no pain)

>>226 I've been violently killed and stabbed in a lot of dreams, injected with needles in my neck. Whilst I don't know how a real stab would feel, the syringe dream was super realistic based on memories from bad experience with doctors. So I just guess your brain either remembers or tries to extrapolate the pain. To my luck I at least could woke up in cold sweat with my heart racing before having to dream whatever would happen next. I get these after violent movies or reading literature where someone has to go through similar things.

Had a dog bite my face in a dream. Does that count?.

>>238 its not about coming out unscathed, its about taking the other bastard down with you [spoiler]in reality though, if someone pulls a knife on you and you pull one back, chances are the fight will not escalate. muggers prey on people who they think will be easy targets, i.e. the weak and the unarmed. they dont want to die any more than you do/spoiler]

I don't know about a dream specifically, but I have been stabbed in what I can only imagine was a false awakening. I woke up in my room but could hardly move at all, and I remember seeing a dark figure out of the corner of my mind coming towards me then picking up and putting me in my laundry hamper then stabbing me multiple times. It was excruciatingly painful, and the worst part was that the context did not seem so far fetched as to mean I definitely wasn't awake. In the moment, I 100% believed my house was getting broken into, and I murdered.

Sorry for off-topic but I've been dying to ask this sometime relevant; What would be the precise term for that 'color' of the knife in OP's image?

Been stabbed in a dream. Felt like a sharp burning sensation. Far less painful than being stabbed IRL. Also, shot in a dream. Felt like my insides were being ripped up, woke up immediately. Shot IRL: Felt the concussion and didn't feel the pain immediately. When it hit it was sore pulsing "raw nerve" pain. Blood was very warm -- hotter than piss, and greasy. So dark it was almost black, dries brown quite quickly, not bright red like in movies. I have no idea why dreaming of being injured feels different than actually being injured, esp. after knowing the experience IRL. >>1258 Iridescent. Data side of laser disks (CDs, DVDs, etc). Natural variations would be "mother of pearl", "opalescent", oil on water, certain types of insect wings, etc.

>>1259 >Iridescence. Thank you so much, lainon.

I had the most marking dream about stabbing. So I got stabbed, I don't remember by who or why I got stabbed and it hurt a lot, not instantly but it hurts. So I fall on the ground while my girlfriend is yelling and crying, I realize what is happening but I can't be bothered to react. People rush over, I start to feel weak, it hurts less. I feel like I fading and the ambulance arrives, I know it's of no use anyway so i tell my girl it's alright, everything will be okay so she starts sobbing and screaming. The pain fades but so does everything else, everything becomes hazy the doctor tells me to stay with him but i'm not listening, it's like he's miles away, everything becomes foggy and darker, darker darker. I feel quite good actually and i'm okay with what's happening. And when i slip away into everlasting death i wake up like in the movies, wet from sweat gasping for air and i'm confused as fuarrrk. Everything felt so fuarrrking real every detail seemed correct. That was one of the strangest dreams ever, I'm almost certain that's what dying feels like, of course I can't prove it to myself without committing suicide. I don't know what to think about it but i'm happy i had that dream, it changed me for the better.

>>226 Most pain i experience in dreams feels real, except for one dream in which a dog bit into my neck. That time it just felt like poking a hole in clay, except my neck was the clay.

>>1947 for me it always just feels like a very uncomfortable tingling, like pain originating from the nervous system. it doesn't have the sharpness of real physical pain.

I was stabbed in the thigh by some fetal alcohol syndrome asshat in Middle School with a pencil but it was nothing too serious. I also accidentally cut myself with a folding knife resulting in me having to get stitches on my thumb. I still have the scar. From that day on out which was back in 2013, I decided to always better inspect a folding knife before using it since the blade was not locked properly and it traveled down into my thumb. I also decided that fixed blade knives are better despite being less compact and that it would help to wear safety gloves if possible.

I once had a dream where in I encountered what appeared to be a buddhist monk dressed in orange robes. The monk stabbed me in the left side of my chest with a spear. It was extremely painful. I yelled at the monk and admonished him for his unprovoked assault. He laughed at this and mimicked my admonishments in a pantomime of sorts. As he didn't continue to attack, I had pause to inspect the bloody wound and upon seeing a portion of my rib cage exposed joined him in laughter for reasons I could not understand. Upon reflection, I took this to be an initiatory experience of a sort.

Got stabbed in my dream last night, I think I moved in my bed like I would if someone stabbed me for real, but it didn't hurt. I woke up in the hospital immediately after getting stabbed in the dream, and shortly after woke up irl

i was stabbed in a dream once. It felt like a bubble around my body was punctured and my life's essence was rushing out of this hole. Not just the blood pouring out but energy. As this energy/life force poured out I became weaker and weaker like sinking to the bottom of a pond. I think this is what being stabbed in real life may feel like.

I never got stabbed in a dream, but I dreamed my father applied pressure with a knife on my thigh one time. I was cooking when I felt a sharp sting on my leg, then I turned around and saw him, with a forbidding grin on his face. I woke up a second after.

Yes. I was coming back home one night and i got stabbed by some guy trying to rob me. I don't remember any pain, i think the dream was more about dying than getting stabbed. I was surprised and sad as i fell to the ground, "i can't believe this is it, i'm really going to die, this really is the end". Funny how dreams are the only time i've felt like that, unique experiences like that could change your perspective, even if they are not real.

>>226 I haven't been stabbed in a dream but I have been mauled by a dog in a dream when i was a kid, it hurt a lot but not as much as I think it would in real life

Never stabbed, but I did get a chainsaw right down the middle of my head into my body. Didn't even wake up. I just ended up in the opposite corner of the room watching the guy break into the room and do the same thing over and over on repeat. It's weird watching yourself die.

I've only been stabbed once in a dream, and as usual with such things the terror woke me up. It hurt, felt very hot in that region. The fear was worse than the pain. I've dreamed more often of being shot, for whatever reason.

I've been shot in dreams. Imagine a weight sinking in heavy syrup. I was the syrup, I felt it move through the liquid of my body, slowly, pushing material outwards. I was weightless when I died, appearing over my corpse as a ghost.

I was stabbed by the father of a real life friend of mine. I respawned afterwards didn't even notice any pain, provocated my murderer and ran away. I usually never really feel pain physical pain or even fear of death.

I was beheaded from behind in a dream once. Still remember the sensation of my head falling off as I was sat in a chair bent over. The floor came close and before my face hit the floor I woke up in a flash of light.

Got stabbed in a dream 1 day before I was diagnosed with appendicitis

>>2358 >I've dreamed more often of being shot, for whatever reason. Someone probably wants you dead real bad.

I had a dream in which I was stabbed, atleast in my case the pain was not comparable to a bruise. That soykaf hurt like a motherfucker and had me bent over leaning on a wall to move in the dream until I woke up.

>>226 Yeah it feels so real. Never been stabbed IRL though so I guess I can't accurately say it feels "real". But it feels what I think it'd feel like.

I saw a symbolic dream where I was stabbed in the back (literally) in a sacrificial manner, surrounded by 11-14 hooded, black-caped figures. I had the misfortune of being caught in the middle of a fierce battle between two opposing factions. After the dust had settled, I woke up and shook off all the limbs of dead people, abandoned shields, broken pikes, swords and rubble that were laying on top of me. After I managed to stand up, I noticed I was thoroughly covered in dust, badly bruised and exhausted. While I stood there standing, I was approached by a figure covered by a black hood and cape. I grapped one of those broken pikes as my walking cane, and he walked me towards a wooden podium of sorts. As we approached the podium, the figure next to me whispered in my ear "... you will make us gods." When we got to the podium, I was gently raised up to the podium, left to lean upright upon these armrests that stood on both sides of the podium. As I stood there, suddenly a dozen or so of these black-covered figures surrounded and formed a circle around me. Then one of the figures said "you will feel a sharp pain in your back, and you will slowly start to sink into a state of unconsciousness, and finally detach yourself from the world." Right after he finished his sentence, I began to fall slowly backwards. As I fell, I managed to catch a glimpse of the figures around me, and I realized that they had all stabbed themselves in their stomach out of their own volition, and that they were all collapsing forwards alongside me. I kept falling and falling, first beyond the sky and finally beyond the stars...

>>226 No but I was eaten by dogs

When I was a kid I had a recurring nightmare. In my neighborhood the roads were separated by ditches, in this dream two men were cutting down a tree in someone's yard but for some reason I knew they were not supposed to be doing it, like it was a crime. I told them not to worry, that I wouldn't tell anyone and every time they said, "Oh, I know, I'll make sure of that." Then they stabbed me to death, I felt cold where I was stabbed immediately, then it spread throughout my body and then I'd wake up. I had that nightmare at least once a week while living in that neighborhood until I moved away. This started shortly after the murder of Madelyn Clifton, which was pretty close to home for me. I was her age as well.

idk about stabbed but getting high is a frequent subject of my dreams. Despite having gotten high irl it's always just nothing in my dreams.

Wasn't stabbed, but I very vividly remember my neck/right carotid artery having been slit. I don't know at all anymore how the dream began, but in the crucial moment I found myself in a large kind of metal chamber thing with a window in front. Imagine a convection oven, but the size of a shower stall. In general the whole place had the feel of a Laboratory but the look of a kitchen ( I had a kitchen job at that time, and they had this 2m steam oven thing you could put people into, so I assume that's where my subconscious drew the imagery from even though the feel was definitely more place-of-research-like). Anyway, for some reason, there were two guys standing in front of me, clad in black, looking very coordinated/tacticool. One of them was a bit broader and taller, bald but wearing one of those burglar caps and had a stubble. The other guy's features were more average overall, but I feel like he had a sort of cunty aura about him. Anyway, they stood there and talked something at me. I don't remember if I replied or not, neither do I remember whether I struggled to get out or if they wanted to break me out or maybe they put me there in the first place, but I do know that I was none too happy to be in that place and have these two dudes in front of me. I can't even remember who did the slitting, but before my memory of the scene winks out I am sure I saw the bald guy turn his face away/being visibly pained/disappointed by what had to be done. Spooky soykaf. It felt extremely real, that very specific *rrrrrip* the blade made and everything. I've been slit in other parts of my body two, three times in my life before, so I know the sensation (all but one were accidents don't worry), but I still remember the sound the most distinctly. Not so much the feeling of the blade going over my neck, but the sound man. Still gives me chills I woke up right after, I think, and for a while that whole scene was so strong and vivid in my head, I was sure that I'd forseen how I will die in the future. Ah well, must've been pretty stressed at that time. /shrugs

>>3751 Oh right, while the baldy was rather unhappy about the whole thing, the cunt was rather mocking instead, you know, with that casual disdain for everybody but themselves that certain assholes just kind of have.

>>226 No, but I was shot in the head twice by an irate driver at a gas station parking lot. That was a fun one. It didn't hurt, but I fell down after the first shot and woke up after the second.

Fun fact: all of you dreaming of being stabbed... I'm the one who comes to stab you in your dream.

>>226 I've almost been stabbed, but never actually. I remember running from someone wanting to stab me on a sidewalk I used to play next to with a friend of mine. I woke up before he was able to stab me. At least that's what I remember

well i wasn't stabbed, but i felt something. i remember having a dream where i felt like i was laying up and some guy came up to me and quickly slit my head or forehead with a knife multiple times. i don't know if i was closing my eyes or being blindfolded during the part where my head gets slit. all i know is that dream felt somehow painful.

>>226 You go into shock when you get stabbed or cut suddenly or even burned so you don't feel anything. It was no different in my dream. I had a youth pastor I used to live with trying to stab me, some guy that had admitted to loving violence. I was not christian but grew up with no Internet, no social life, in the middle of nowhere, etc, so I figured I may as well go there for something to do. He wasn't really that bad but the dream was just there. It was mostly a fear dream where I struggled over and over to not get stabbed then I lied there saying my last words. I do not recall what they were. I basically didn't feel any pain though, just roughness of physical violence.

last summer my dream ended by someone drilling into my eye when in reality there was a fly buzzing near my eye not very pleasant

>>226 The same as being stabbed in real life.

>>226 i get stabbed in dreams all the fuarrrkin time, for me it always feels like something cold penetrating into you, but it doesnt really hurt.

Wow, I experienced it today for very first time in my life. It was unpleasant dream: I was alone at home, then I heard some sound from entrance, I went to door and opened it, then I saw 4 insane gopnics there, and one of them stabbed me into stomach. That's interesting that he was shocked because of this (it looks like he wanted only to scary me with knife but not to stub.)

I've been stabbed in my dreams a couple times. It's always in the stomach. Whenever it happens, I get tunnel vision and everything seems to "speed up" before I wake up suddenly.

>>230 I used to faint in dreams before fainting in real life After the real life faint my dreams were updated to include the actual feeling of fainting

>>226 Yeah I have before. I was in some sort of turn based RPG with a team of 3 fighting something or someone, I can't quite recall what it was. In the middle of the fight suddenly one of my teammates stabbed my other teammate with a sword and then stabbed me in the heart. It was very much like a bruising feeling, like someone was pushing on me hard but definitely not as painful as a real stab would feel like.
