i have had dreams that feel more real than reality did.(Not sure if it would be a correct reply to your question though)

. In some instances people wake while in this stage and report a "sleep paralysis" which in some other instances people report the phenomena of being visited by "aliens" (that's another subject).
But yes, the senses seem to in some way still function without our immediate conciousness. Dreams of sexual intercourse with accounts of actually "feeling" have been reported. Dreams involving pain as well have occured. Very strange occurance and good topic !!

Ionce had a dream where i was being crushed under a boulder and right after that i woke up and my body was in so much pain that i could not move(i could move but it hurt to move).
To _Phoenix_: This is off topic but your avatar is awesome how it incorporates "Death Note" and "The Llama Song".

Just a quick thought: If all your senses are active in your dreams, then isnt it possible to experience the after effects of certain events that happen in your dreams? For example, is it possible that the brain would mistake an event (getting shot in a dream, for example) to be real and react accordingly with the physical body? How are these limitations set by the brain so it can tell if one is dreaming?
Let me rephrase: If a person is dreaming and experiencing the sensations of touch, smell, taste etc. then how is that at all different from reality? What I am getting at is if your dream state is another reality into which you are transported while sleeping. Its a far-fetched thought, but think about how "weird" it is that you have these senses while your body is imovile in your bed. The brain is picking up these sensations from somewhere, another dimension perhaps? Just a thought

Great topic.
In my case, I don't taste, maybe I just don't eat anything in my dreams.
Take care,
