Dream Senses: Taste and Smell

So, senses can sometimes be a little screwy in dreams, both lucid and non. Last night I tasted something for the first time in dream: a copper coin. I was sitting on a bench talking to this guy when he held out a copper coin to me, and for some reason I felt like I shouldn't handle it and put it in my mouth instead. Disgusting! It was really cold and tasted overwhelmingly metalic, and then broke in my mouth! I smelled something in a dream a while back - I'll tell about that later.

So tell about your experiences with taste and smell in dreams. First thing, weirdest thing, favorite thing, whatever.

Hahah...don't eat copper coins..yes even in dreams ;)

Hrm...well, it's a goal of mine to be able to taste something in a dream...I haven't yet had the initiative to try it (maybe tonight's my lucky night?)..buuuut, I once did taste a steaming hot cinnamon bun...it didn't taste exactly like i'd thought it would and only lasted for about a second but it was more like...hmm..just oil and sweetness..Hard to explain, but more airy and not satisfying..hehe.

I don't think I've smelled in a dream yet.

If I have any more experiences with taste or smell i'll post.

i tasted a cheeto once :) it was one of the spicy ones. tasted exactly the same as in real life. There was only one though or i would have eatin more. It was on the floor in my room. Its a good thing i was lucid, or i might have wasted time cleaning that messy room. lol

the only thing i ever smelled in a dream though ws burnt hair :( gross :P

In my oldest dreams, when i was lucid (but didnt knew the advanteges) i decided to eat something, and i tried some choclate, but the taste was really weak, and i really didnt felt like "eating", but i think that i had some expiriences with tasting after that and its probably better. It is probably depends, on the person and how much attention you pay in both real and dream life.

So, the only thing I've smelled so far was so strong it just about woke me up. I in this amusement park and went over to a fountain with bright orange water, like neon orange. I bent over and put my face by it and I started gagging: the stuff smelled like way-too-sweet orange concentrate, so sweet I felt like throwing up!

the other night i tasted apple jacks and a smelled carpet. both very vivid.
