Can dreams hurt you irl?

I have super realistic dreams. Meaning, i don't know they are dreams sometimes until i wake up. The feeling is different from when i am awake but at that moment is not that noticeable.
Sometimes i get hurt in my dreams and, while i am sleeping it does hurt. Like for example, one time i got shot on the back. It hurt in my dream but i woke up and the feeling was still lingering in my flesh, but not painful.

Today i had a dream in which i was being persecuted by some dude and he shot two arrows to the back of my knees, making me unable to walk and bend my legs.
When i woke up, my legs hurt. Like genuinely hurt at the back of my knees. And i couldn't bend them for at least 3 minuts, just like as if the arrows were still there. It has been like 15 minuts and they still feel sore.

Is it normal to feel pain from your dreams???

    Lol that's not what happened. What happened is you had that dream BECAUSE your knees were hurting. You may have been in an odd position or may have pulled a muscle and because you felt the pain in real life, your dream formed around that pain

    I had a tooth I broke a while go. One night, after having some drinks, had a dream that I got into a fight, and was hit in the face with something. In the dream I spit out some teeth. I guess I was grinding my teeth, when I woke up the rest of the tooth was loose, in pain, and bleeding. I ended up just pulling it myself. I believe it works like Sanara commented.

    Sometimes this thing happens in my dreams where I can't stop myself but it's like I'm using my teeth to like push against my other teeth and it really hurts but I can't stop from doing it and it makes me think my teeth will fall out. But in the morning it never hurts. I would like to stop dreaming of that though

    I think if your body is in pain when you are sleeping, your dreams will implement that somehow, not the other way around.

      My dad told me that too but, i wasn't in a weird posture or anything like that. I was just laying on my back, staring at the ceiling. It was a really normal/relaxed position but i couldn't move my legs.
      It was very weird.

    I got shot in my dream and I remember it hurt very badly. When I woke up that part of my body was sore. I get the feeling no one believes me when I say this but it has happened. More than once actually.

    Depends on the dream.

    Dreams are fascinating.
    I've definietely had similar things happen before.
    Not sure how it makes any sense. Could just be the brain creating a pain response to a very realistic dream out of confusion.
