Dream body detection of physical body??

[urshebear]

Here's a dream I had the other night.

I was in a crystal shop looking at crystals. One of the shop keepers called me over to a small group she was talking to about a certain stone.
Before she began I suddenly realised that I was holding my arm above my head and I couldn't pull it back down, I wondered how long it had been like that. It hurt and it felt like my arm muscle was really being pulled.
I started to scream "help me! please someone!"
I asked everyone in the shop to pull it down for me, at times I felt like it was going down but when I looked, It was still up over my head!
still screaming I ran outside. I saw a really big man and I said "Please just hang from my arm, you wont hurt me. just hang from it please I cant get it down!" He hung from it with his whole weight and nothing! I was so afraid.

I woke up....I was on my back and my arm was up over my head! I don't think I had ever slept this way before? I find it strange that my dream body detected this? Maybe I can try to do it again to trigger a LD but don't know if I want to in case it started driving me crazy again and I couldn't wake myself up lol.

the same thing happened to me i was crying in my dream becuase my arm hurt so much and nobody could tell me what was wrong. it got so bad i woke up and my arm was numb where all the blood had gone from it, odd indeed

I had a dream a while back where my leg was sore, and when I looked at my calf it looked like I had some sort of flesh eating virus and I could see the muscle and tissue wasting away... and I woke up and my leg had fallen asleep and my calf was numb.

A few weeks ago I was tossing and turning, so I turned on my TV and the news was on, and I fell asleep during the broadcast. I had a dream where I was in a neighborhood and there was some old guy in his front yard just ranting about bombs and explosions to no one in general - genuine crazy guy. I figured he was a shell-shocked vet or something. When I woke up I realized it was the news reporter on TV talking about stuff going on in Syria.

So when you have weird dreams and have a hard time interpreting them, it may be from something very mundane and have no importance behind it. But like urshebear said, maybe it can be used for an LD trigger.
