Thread: Eating in a lucid dream.

I've tried eating in an LD before, it's great because you can eat anything you want, even when you are on a diet or something (though I've never been on a diet, I can imagine it's quite fun eating in a dream when you can't eat everything IRL)

every time I eat in a dream, I always wake up really sick... Maybe thats because I only eat ice cream and shaving cream... The ice cream didn't taste real, and the shaving cream was just... I wasn't lucid...

I don't know actually. You see, what happens in a dream is what you expect to happen. Like when you first try to fly, you expect failure, so most people fail.

If you are allergic to peanuts, and you try eating peanuts, then you expect to get sick or ill or die. If you have already eaten peanuts by accident, then you would more strongly expect that result.
It may end badly, or if you are stable enough, you might get to eat a peanut without any drawbacks.

Food is more than amazing in dreams. I've had atleast two memorable dreams in which I was eating. Gorged myself on ice cream in one, and in the other one I tasted dream fruit, which was epic.

i tried eating for the first time (in a lucid at least) the other day.. i had a bag of candy and turned out to be a neverending bag! i just kept eating and eating and the bag was always full

Eating just isn't one of the first things I think of when I am dumped into a world with unlimited possibilities.
For me it's usually flying or super speed or going somewhere cool or something.

Not eating loads of sweets.

I'm getting jeleous.

I did last night in the longest LD I've had to date (30m+). I ate some REALLY good sweets. I only had to stop because I woke up due to a pillow covered in saliva. I turned it over, shut my eyes, and went straight back to the LD

Eating in lucid dreams is amazing!
Whenever I encounter something edible during my lucid adventures I usually try to sneak it in.
I really enjoy eating sour fruits, for some reason sour is just amazing in dreams.
I also enjoy sweets, but with ice cream I usually get brain freeze, which is sort of an interesting experience by itself.

In non-lucids it tends to be more of an annoyance though.
Recently in a non-lucid dream, I was at a restaurant eating crabs.
For some reason I had a whole crab (big one) on my plate, and I just fitted the whole thing in my mouth without taking off the shell or anything. (I have no idea... don't ask)
When I bit on it I realized my mistake and I had a very difficult and unpleasant time getting it back out.

I have eaten in my dream. Seriously it is AMAZING. You can pig out all you want, it taste real, and you don't gain anything! Chocolate is usually my favorite to eat.

I always thought it would be weird to turn into a tongue with arms and legs and whatever you touch, you taste. XD

From my dream journal:

So tonight I had 3 different dreams. First one I ate french fries from McDonalds in my mother's car. Second one I ate food in the cafeteria at my workplace (Kvickly). Third one I ate food in Kvickly's employee lounge/pause-room.

I do not remember the taste of the Kvickly foods, but the french fries were perfectly crispy, squared, warm, and salty. It tasted as delicious as french fries can be, especially with french fry sauce on. I woke up hungry after that dream, yet I didn't feel like eating.

Nice, i'm going to have to try french fries in a dream. I LOVE sweet potato fries, in real life.

Looking forward to hear the results of this!
Edit: Wrong thread, wtf

Some people don't believe me when I say this but it taste even better in your dreams! It's like my subconscious has searched through my memories for times where I thought the food I am eating tasted the best and then used that for my Lucid Dream.
A large number of my Lucid Dreams I find myself walking through a town eating food and sweets from a shop xD

Just curious, does food taste exactly like it would in real life, or is it different?

What would it taste like to eat something you've never eaten in RL?

I think when I ate some food, I knew what I should taste like, but really all I got was the "oh god this is good eats" feeling. I didn't really notice how sweet something was or how creamy or how crunchy it was.

My french fries tasted like in real life, but in the best quality you could ever imagine, like if you paid $500 for it.

u should eat pizzas mate.

The only thing I could remember ever eating in a dream that had a real taste... was a pencil O.o
Yup, nutritious wood fibers and graphite all the way, I remember how hard it was to chew on it, splinters on my tongue too if I remember correctly.

i ate my bedroom door once, it tasted like chocolate =]

I tryed it before I ate everything but when I woke up I was starving lol
