Taste Sensation during Lucid Dreaming

[dreamingod]

I seldom consume any food and drink during AP so I don't usually experience taste sensation.


Last night I had a lucid dream. It was in the context of physical reality.

I was explaining to two children (boy and girl) and a female adult who resembles
Sue Sylvestor [character from the TV musical, Glee]
how all realities, including present physical reality, are in fact dreams
which feel real beause it engages one's range of senses:
sight, hearing, taste, touch, smell ...

I asked them to recall and relate their own dream experiences.




We all happen to be sitting atop of a tall building facing a mountain cliff.
The view was spectacular; summertime in full blossum [currently Winter in Australia -main foc us physical reality]:
Mountain earthy-orangy-red, azure blue clear sky,
An array of water-colours, non-transparent like paint cascaded out from mountain cliff.
Clean scent in the atmosphere.

I was quoting phrases from my own posts and Albert Einstein to make the point
eg.

Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one.
Concerning matter, we have been all wrong.
What we have called matter is energy, whose vibration has been so lowered
as to be perceptible to the senses.
There is no matter.

- Albert Einstein

During the same lucid dream, in another scene, now at night time,
I was in a spacious 2 storey house with a large kitchen
slightly similar to my own [in primary physical reality].
I walked downstairs to get a rice-pudding beverage from the fridge
(contained in an opaque white plastic cup).
When I drank the cold beverage, I liked the slight sweetness
with a subtle taste and scent of coconut that I drank some more later on.
[Note: In primary physical reality 2 days ago, my son discarded the many home-made
rice pudding viscous desert (in an opaque white plastic cup) that had been left in our fridge
uneaten for a week. He commented it that it tasted a little like coconut; none was added.]

In another scene I experienced nature in full splendour: flora, the forest animals,
the feeling of renewal was strong.
I was explaining to another person that after the flood [metaphoric for cleansing, renewal]
you can be whatever you want to be/experience.
Here I was contemplating the idea of being a squirrel or an eagle 
[I perceived the image in my minds eye while lucid dreaming]

I remember last year I had a lucid dream where I found myself also in a kitchen,
having a cup of aromatic hot coffee with my hispanic husband who
looks a little like Enrique Iglesias except has bright emerald green eyes and
speaks with a memorable, funny accent, much like the flamingo character
in the Movie-animation "Gnomeo & Juliet".



[my husband in primary physical reality is mixed caucasian-asian in appearance].

He does speak like the Flamingo or in the dream he did?

I often taste and smell things in dreams... not Lucid dreams but vivid deep dreams.

I did have a nonphysical experience that contained a very specific taste experience. http://www.astralpulse.com/forums/welcome_to_astral_projection_experiences/the_glass_stem_and_the_fractal_fruit-t38848.0.html

In the dream-story context it was telempathically communicated to me that,
this is your husband, appears Hispanic & speaks with a funny accent 
However in my present primary physical reality, my husband looks mixed Australian-Chinese
and speaks, I suppose standard Australian English [Sydney].


Now that you mentioned it, in my previous post, the lucid dreams were not really lucid dreams
because I only had a slight awareness that these were dreams and made no attempt
to change the direction of the dream experience.
I seemed to interact and respond to the scenarios presented.
My choices were within the scope of the explored themes.
Minor aspects of my [current physical primary reality] ego-personality memory leaked
through to the dream experiences.

So, like you these were more vivid dreams than lucid dream experiences.

It's weird.. I have had thousands of what you call OOBEs... APs.. from consciousness lucid dreams.. whatever you want to call them.

I am always hoodwinked by dreams. Always deep and vivid. But I can count on my hands how many actual LDs I've had.

One would think that I should be so familiar with that state of consciousness.. that I shouldn't be tricked by my own mind.
