Phantom Horn or Wings

[Alia 158]

Many therians or another otherkins claim they feel a phantom somethin’, like limbs, tail, or wings. Phantom feeling it’s when you feel body parts that ain’t there (physically.) By analogy with phantom pain, when someone have his limb amputated, but still feels it from time to time.

 

Do you have something like that? Since it’s all in our head, maybe some of y’all associate yourself with your OC strong enough to feel such things.

 

As for me, I have always had a feeling when something is near, in front of my forehead. Especially in situations like when I stayed in front of the doors in a transit vehicle. I thought it’re my phantom whiskers, cause I associated myself with felines that have them, but now I’m not sure- are they whiskers or a horn.

Yea, I heard about this... but I don't have any.

But I guess if you concentrate enough you can feel like you have hooves/ wings/ whatever.

Sometimes if I watch a movie, i'll get way too into the mindset of the main character.  

Like after Maleficent, I felt like I was walking around with my huge wings behind me. haha

Um, not always. For e.g. I don’t feel the wings, no matter how hard I try to imagine them. Especially since flying is not my street at all. Even in games like Battlefield I’m bad at flying.

Eeyup. After playing Assassin’s Creed for whole day on a big screen I found I adopted the motor activity and dynamic of main character, I moved quickly for some time. But that’s different. I don’t have to watch or imagine somethin’ to feel something horn-like.

 

 

Oh, I see somepony voted for second option. Why won’t ya tell ’bout it in details?

What if I have a feeling that something is annoying the side of my head, but nothing's there. Does that count?

It depends on where it “is”- in your head or on your head.

On my head. Not in. Just the difference.
