Is it normal to feel pain after a dream?

This has only happened a couple of times but when I experience physical pain in a dream it can appear when I'm awake too.

For example, I once had a dream that little people started building a racetrack around my room (weird I know). Part of the racetrack was built over my ankle. Every time a car went over it I felt a sharp pain in the dream. My ankle hurt in the morning.
Another time I dreamt I got stung badly by a nettle. Sure enough, in the morning the spot felt as if it had been stung by a nettle.

Is this normal?

    could it be something like your ankle was twisted funny in your sleep and your brain translated it into your dream?
