Any time I have eaten food in dreams, it has tasted bland. It is only in particularly lucid dreams that I have been able to engage the sense of smell, so I think it is related. I have read in other places that the sense of smell is not located in the area of the brain that falls asleep... a sort of waking alarm in case of fire, etc.
So when a sense of smell occurs, I link it strongly with an astral experience.
My most powerful OBE was a transition from a dream state into an extremely lucid OBE partially in the RTZ and the thing that made me go lucid was the smell of cigarette smoke in a house... not only could I smell cigarette smoke but it seemed to pervade every cell in my being, as if I could smell EVERY cigarette that had ever been smoked in that room. It was a very blunt sensation and one that made me go crystal-clear lucid in the experience, making me realize I was not awake or in a dream, but actually OOB (among other things).
Anyways I was having a dream the other night that I was in this massive grocery store... it had clothing, too, like a dream Wal-Mart.
I think I was in that markety section of the astral, honestly... because there was this one display where you could try samples, and there was this fruit that looked like a sectioned orange displayed on a bed of crushed ice, so I picked up a piece and tried it... It was really delicious, and interestingly tasted like no fruit I've ever had before. It had a heavy, spicy sweetness to it like a pumpkin or a squash but it was definitely citrus-y. Yum! Vitamin D!
That combination of being able to taste something very clearly, and it tasting like nothing that existed on earth (that I knew of) makes me think I had a little stroll into the "astral market" plane.
Anyone else taste things in dreams?
