Tasting in a dream...

[dancingxinxthexrain]

When I was about 5 years old I had a dream I was in my backyard. The next thing I remembered was I was eating something and it tasted horrible. It tasted like tobacco. Although,I have never tasted tobacco before it was a very vivid flavor and it seemed exactly how tobacco would taste.

dancingxinxthexrain, I've experienced the sense of taste in both non-lucid and lucid dreams and below are replies I've given in other posts: When I was growing up my mom used to give my sister and I Pop Tarts for breakfast.. she would toast them in the toaster and then put butter on them. My favorate was blueberry. One morning I had a very VIVID non-lucid dream that I was being forced to eat LOTS of blueberry Pop Tarts dripping to the point of sogginess in butter! It was absolutely disgusting and I woke up feeling sick to my stomach. For years after that dream, I could not stand the thought (nor the smell) of blueberry Pop Tarts! The following is from a LUCID dream: I remember reading a post asking if you can smell things in a LD and I see that there is fruit on the table. I bypass the orange and the grapefruit and pick up a granny (green) apple. I lift it to my nose and take a deep breath.. it smells exactly as I expected it to (no more - no less). I then take a bite and taste the tangy tartness of it and think to myself.. ok now I know and I can report my findings back to the forum.

Why don't you have a vote that says that you can always taste in one! Well, there is nothing better than eating & tasting all the goodies, & having no consequences in there for it!

exactly what nesgirl said. I can taste all the time.

If I eat something in a lucid dream (or most any vivid dream) I can taste it, but it is not always completely accurate, especially if it is something my mind is unsure about, like a live fish which I inexplicably ate in a lucid dream. It tasted like chap stick.

Yep, I've tasted in a dream and usually it's exactly like the real thing, but as though my taste buds are on steroids. The taste is incredibly potent, and generally very good.

Oh heck yeah! When I do dream about eating, it's usually desserts. 99% of the time, chocolate chip cookies fresh out of the oven (my fav). They taste so freaking good in my dream that I'm craving them like mad when I first wake up. I sometimes even wake up smelling them after dreaming about them.

It tasted like chap stick. haha. well if you taste something in a dream you've never actually tasted before, it's got to taste like something that you have tasted before, or maybe even just smelled, because smell and taste are so closely related.
