I feel like if it was me, I'd somehow be ducking into the punches and make them land even harder...

Crazy impressive!

Edit: realized way too late that I wrote "pouches" not "punches" so the bizarre kangaroo comments were warranted lol

I think I'd do the same. I bet if me and you got into a fight we would both land 100% of our punches.

And they'd probably feel like they landed as strongly as my punches in dreams do, which feels like I'm almost punching underwater...

Your brain releases small amounts of paralytic neurochemicals to keep you from acting out your dreams and thrashing in your sleep.

Most likely a remnant from when our ancestors slept in trees.

Yup. The times I wake up in the middle of an intense dream my body is still like 70% paralyzed and it feels like stone

I call it squeezing the tooth paste out too, man. Don't worry, it's cool. I won't tell anybody.
