Thread: Subconscious desires?

Last night I was walking the aisles of a supermarket when I realised I was dreaming and gained lucidity. I am not perfect with maintaining lucidity so once i realised that i was in a dream i immediately did the first thing that came to my mind before I fell back into a normal dream and what I choose to do was to eat some lollies from the store.

Now, this was surprising to me as I haven't eaten lollies in about 10 years and in my waking life I never think about lollies or have the desire to eat them and will pass them by without a second look in stores. I don't understand why I wanted to eat them so badly in my dream. I thought maybe I wasn't lucid after all and it was just a random event in a regular dream but upon reflection I can recall actively making the decision to eat them and while eating them I clearly remember thinking 'oh god, these taste just as good as they used to in real life'. I didn't even know I missed lollies until this dream.

Was eating lollies a subconscious desire I've had all along? How does that even work out? As trivial as eating lollies is, I feel as if I've learned something about myself.

Has anyone else had similar experiences?
