My dreams are very real as well. I can feel wind on my skin, the cold wetness of water, etc. If I reach out and touch something I can feel what it feels like. I have thoughts and impressions of what is going on. I have feelings like fear, dread, joy, stress, etc. Depending on the dream, I feel all the emotions that apply to the dream situation.

So unless you and I are abnormal I would say that what you describe is normal.

By the way, have you found any connection between your waking life and the dream. Keep in my mind sometimes the things you see in a dream may be a symbol for something else.
