Taste

[SleepyCookieDough]

I just wondered... Can you taste food in dreams? Because if you can it would be pretty cool; You could have a goal that's to eat something you never seen before, like blue meat balls. The taste could be surprisingly good, better than anything you've ever tasted or desgusting.... I really want to try (if its possible to taste) Have anyone had any experiences?

Yes and yes.

I know taste works in dreams, remember one cookie that was AWESOME haha in a dream. But how does something taste like you have never tasted before? ever tried to eat something in a dream, that you know you never have eaten and then tried to eat it in real life to see if the taste is the same?

[SleepyCookieDough]

If you eat something you have never eaten before, the chances are its not going to taste like it actually does but your mind might invent a new taste or base itself from something you've already eaten. I can't really say, I'm new in the dream world!

Welcome! I haven't been active here at all. But I have been playing with my "DreamWorld" for some time, had lost touch with it for quiet some time but now I'm back on track. Lucid dreaming here I cooome!

Thank you. I'm going to try WILDing tonight since it takes a long time for my mind to fall assleep...

Sir, I am happy to tell you that yes, you can taste in dreams.

Yes, and things can taste like what they look, or completely differently. It's all down to what your subconscious sets it up as, and whether you notice the taste of a food or just chew it up and swallow it as part of an ongoing sequence of actions.

I drank Chilli Flavoured Coffee with the pope in a recent dream, and it tasted like a pleasant drink, almost beer-like. It didn't taste anything like how coffee with a tinge of chilli in it would taste. One of my first ever lucids took place in a supermarket, and I spent the whole time eating food I had already had in real life to see if it was the same (and it was). So, as JET73L said: It's all down to what your subconscious sets it up as, and whether you notice the taste of a food or just chew it up and swallow it as part of an ongoing sequence of actions.

My LD's are hard to come by but they're intensely real when I slide into one. You've not lived until you've eaten LD dream food. For me at least it's exactly like real food only tastier. I can't control LD's so I can't simply summon up a meal. I have to find food where I find it. Like a common awake mere mortal.

Last night (in a dream) I ate cookie dough! Ain't that funny! Get it? I've just made a topic on eating food and my name on the website on which I wrote that topic is Cookie dough! It's not my first time eating food in a dream but when I did, I didn't remember them enough to tell. Now, I can still remember the taste in my mouth... mmmmh!

Yes I have taste in the Lucid state. It always takes place at a buffet. I wake up quickly from these LD's and only these.
