Yeah, it doesn’t work for everyone, unfortunately. IIRC a (possibly slim) majority of people can’t feel pain in dreams—it’s probably connected to the mechanism that prevents you remembering pain - you know it was there but you don’t really experience it like other memories. That’s why pinching yourself is the traditional method of proving some thing isn’t a dream. Some people can’t read text or tell the time n dreams, it changes between viewings, is gibberish, blank etc. I can. AFAIK there is no method of lucid dreaming that works for everyone, you have to experiment.
I can feel pain in dreams. I’m not sure if I can self-inflict pain in dreams (I’ve never tried), but I’ve definitely felt pain in dreams.

I can also feel pain in dreams here.
