even the darkest of nights can be beautiful if you know where to look

so as most people know I identify as a dragon IRL, and I have always felt phantom limbs like wings and a tail even a snout i know isn't there. but as of lately people happen to step where my tail is or i bump my phantom muzzle and experience pain from it. I'm just curious if any other dragonkin have had the same experience. just today dad stepped on my tail and I could barely keep myself from doing one of two things. the first is breaking out into tears of pain. (it really hurt) and the other is decking him the face by instinct. and I've been having difficulty sleeping because of the way I have to lay because of pains that go through my back is I lay on my wings.... so any help to deal with such pain would be helpful.

To my knowledge, there is nothing that you can do about the pain, but it does prove that you are on the right track. You should discuss it with the people over at FurMorphed.

I don't know the pains could be medical and not phantom. I would have that looked at by a doctor

There's one person I know of who used a hypnosis system to make themselves feel the same thing

OP
as I said in a note to the guy above who mentioned FurMorphed this ISN'T a result of hypnotism, this is happening naturally, and is accompanied by very confusing dreams (mentioned in earlier journals) and a strange ability to read peoples intentions...

I know. But perhaps talking to this guy I know can help you understand it better. He is a sergal and former dragon

doubt it. he had to go through hypnotism to feel the things that are just happening to me. I've never been hypnotized. so it's not the same thing.

Well there are a few people I know who are otherkin

I"m not even sure if that is what i am anymore. maybe I'm just going insane. the more that happens the more confused i get. even waking up seeing my phantom limbs at times.

I doubt you're going insane. It's a time where you need guidance because you have never experienced it before

I wish I could actually help you out on this one Bel, but the most I can do is let you know that I'm reading your journals. :)
