Is it normal to feel pain in dreams?

I've had dreams where people have cut me or I have cut myself. When this happens in the dream I can actually feel it and it hurts. However, it doesn't hurt as much as I think it would hurt in real life, but I do feel some pain. I even feel pain after in my dream.
For instance, I had a dream I cut myself all over my chest. Throughout the dream I could still feel my shirt irritating my cuts when I moved. It felt so real, when I woke up I had to check my chest for cuts.

    Its totally normal, I don't know how many times I've died in a dream, but hey, that just makes wet dreams all the better.

    It's a lucid dream! A dream which feels like real but it's not.
