Phantom parts

[Nikko]

'> hey how many of you furs have phantom parts. I know that sometimes I could sware i have a tail and don't but... how about anyone else. It is a very odd feeling and I always hope it is there when I look... Too bad it never is.

[Ulario]

I think this was in another topic.  '>

Anyways, I've got phantom wings, and I can feel them open up in strong winds.  I've also got a phantomm beak and tail, though the feeling isn't as strong.

[Sunookitsune]

I get phantoms somewhat often, usually muzzle, tail, and ears, and I'm pretty sure I've never gotten more than one phantom at a time.

[Varg the wanderer]

I havn't had phantom parts, but I feel that if I hada tail or muzzle  I would know already what it feels like.

I don't think I've ever had phantom parts. They occur completely on there own without you having to think about them, correct?

They do for me. I am unable to get them to occurr on my own. However some people tell me that they can. *shrugs*

I had a phantom tail for a little while there..which was really annoying cause i couldnt sleep on my back without feeling like im crushing my tail..but its gone at the moment so im happy i can sleep again

I get a phantom tail and sometimes the pointed rodentian muzzle.  My strongest phantoms happen right when I wake up from a furry dream, which, sadly, hasn't happened for a while.  I get phantoms at random during the day too, but they're not as strong.  Usually with these weaker phantoms I don't get to feel my tail in all its huge, fluffy glory, just the feeling that there's something extending from my spine that curls upwards and then kinda fades.  After a furry dream, though, I can feel everything.

One time, I had a dream about dragons, and I woke up with phantom WINGS .  Freakiest damned feeling I ever had, because I don't have wings .  The feeling vanished after only a few seconds, but it had definitely happened.

FOr me I always get phantom ears. Not sure about the phantom muzzle or tail, but sometimes I can picture what it would feel like if I were to have them, though it's not a phantom shift. Anybody have any good methods they use to induce a phantom shift?  '>

[Sabu]

I have a phantom comic book collection?

I'd also like to know how to induce these phantom parts, or furry dreams because, well, I don't get any of them.

I occasionally convince myself to feel things. I don't know how this happens, but I can convince myself to believe stuff. There are times where I'll pulled up more self confidence by generating some wings.

But, meh, it's not the same thing.

'>  Sabu hehe... HIA... *notices another snow leopard and is happy* Well I don't think you can just tell them to come or something. It is just one of those odd things that just happens and you can't explain it.

Heh, that's why I sleep on my side.  When I lie on my back, I feel like I should be laying on my wings.

[Timber Fox]

I felt phantom parts even before I knew of the fandom. o.0  When I found furry I was surprised to see that other people felt them too.  Mostly I control them, but somtimes they come when I'm not expecting them.

its the same way for me. i get furry dreams all the time, almost every night now and when i wake up, i swear i have extra body parts. as fun as it is to think i have a tail i would rather remain in that dream state, but then again who wouldn't?

I heard somewhere (so it's probably bogus '>) that before you sleep, whatever you see for the last 10-20 minutes you are awake is going to have the strongest impression on your subconscious. Which makes sense I guess as it's the most recent thought before drifting off to sleep. Sometimes when looking at a lot of anthro pics or pics of wolves I've been able to sort of induce some degree of furryness into my dreams. Doesn't work all the time for me but when it does work, it /really/ does  '>

Though I'm still looking for that 100% guarenteed method for fur dreams....  

[Skunki]

i heard somewhere that they are working on some kind of machine that you program dreams into and then you hook yourself up to it and dream about whatever you want. i don't know if this is a machine that will be made available to everyone though. but it would be cool.

wanna see some really cool phantoms? do shrooms in the dark.

[Sporty Fox]

Wiskers-the feeling's there all the time but most noticable when I am in a situation where clearance is an issue.  When driving a large truck or towing a large trailer I can feel in my "wiskers" where I am in the lane and correct by feel.Also sensitive to minute vibrations that others miss.

 They stole my idea.
Well, they would still have to add an extra feature onto it that allows the images in your dreams to be recorded on actual film by somehow transforming brain-waves into actual visual images so you can watch them after you've woken up to totaly steal my idea.

[Nikko]

'>  hehe that is almost like the movie strang days. That movie they had a way of recording peoples memeorys from there brains into decks. These decks would hook up to nero stimulators that would give the people playing them back a true feeling for the situation. Like a movie your totaly in. Great movie.

 Really though phantom parts are fun when you have them.

[Skunki]

fochizzle.

[Zarathus]

I have horns...claws, bat type wings, and sometimes a tail. And no..my "me" character doesnt have those...my me character is just a representation of who i am..kind of. Its hard to explain.

[Yume]

I get a phantom tail or set of ears sometimes. They used to scare me a bit, but now I kind of like them. Occassionally if I'm lying in bed at night I can get a full morph if I want to, but not in any other situation...

[LilKitten]

I need a cute little fluffy white tail and matching lil fluffy ears *Purrs* Maybe angel wings too... cause I'm such a lil angel. *Giggles, then hears someone say "Yeah Right"... blink* o.o

[Eidolon]

The only time I get eidolon (eidolon means phantom, ghost, or shadow for those who don't know! '>) parts is after I take off my tail from wearing it for an exceedingly long time. I think that's called something like phantom tail synedrom or PTS...or I dunno', I once heard it called something like that... *giggles*

[Drakalu]

Generally just the wings though those are on a constant basis.  Sometimes the facial features as well though that is a rarity.

Hmmm.. I suppose that would explain why I always sleep on my stomach.
