For me, my fingers start to feel weird when I rub them together. Usually precedes a fever. I don't really know why it happens, but at least my knee doesn't swell up every time a storm approaches.
Do you get weird signs of oncoming illness?

It hasn't happened since I was a kid, but every couple of months or so for the longest time I would get really sick to my stomach while I slept and have to throw up. I don't know why, though it stopped around high school. Anyway, EVERY SINGLE TIME it would happen I'd have a nightmare. The dream wasn't always the same subject matter but the atmosphere was ALWAYS dark, murky, cold, and quiet.
After this had happened a couple of times I caught on and soon was able to utilize the OTHER skill I had learned as a child (how to force yourself awake from recognizing a dream) to wake up, after which I quickly figured out how to stop myself from puking, which I can still do to this day IF I'm not under stress.
How did I learn how to wake up from a dream just by thinking about it? When I was in the bed-wetting stage, before I wet the bed I would ALWAYS be dreaming about actually going to the bathroom, so now every time I even see a toilet in my dreams I force myself awake before I have the chance the go.

Before I would throw up (When I was younger), I would have a dream resembling Katamari Damacy from the view of the person being rolled up. Except I would be crushed, and then I would wake up and puke.
I don't do anything today that invites a reason to puke.

Ok, TEACH ME HOW TO DO THAT. I WANT TO GO DEEPER. But seriously, lucid dreaming would be so awesome.Jack the Potato said:

When I needed to take a winkle as a child, I always dreampt of Pikachu doing his signature "THUNDERBOLT!" from the TV show. The spark he created was enough to force me out of bed and go to the restroom.
It's weird how child psychology works.
I don't know if it will work for you or not, but what I do to stop myself from puking is pretty easy: deep breaths, staying calm, relax, and focus on pleasant thoughts. Basically, just meditate for a bit.I Have No Idea said:
As for waking up from dreaming, I don't really know how I started knowing when I was dreaming, but to wake up from it all I had to do was start dream-screaming at myself to wake up until I did.
the general aches is what i get, and then the strangest dream. im in a big factory...sort of with lots of big moving gears mashing together...over a white background...the only other color comes from a single small yellow flower
i get that dream with every serious illness

OT: Depending on the sickness, I only get a runny nose or a sore throat before I get hit by the full extent of it; nothing stranger than that. :/
When I was young I was epileptic, and a major fit would always be preceded by the whole day feeling so incredibly lethargic I could barely move.
These days I know I'm getting sick when my focus and depth perception goes wierd.. I start to feel that everything is incredibly far away.. when I was a child this would happen whenever I had a fever and would terrify me.

I pee a lot and start losing weight (from eating less, from being almost-sick). Then the sickness sets in and it is the most irritating and head-numbing cold/flu/thing ever. Then it is over, I start eating more again and I put on those couple kilos again within two weeks.
But yeah, frequent peeing is the tell-tale sign for me.
