I am going to try this one, hopefully others will follow and tell me what happened. I would post this under experiments but I cant post there. Anyways here’s how it goes:
-When having a LD create a few colored pills or tablets.
-Tell yourself each has its own taste.
-Tell us what each color tastes like.
I think that the colors like red will end up tasting like strawberry or cherry, as well as other colors. So try this with a clear or white pill and let your mind create the taste for you.
I conducted a similar experiment in an LD a few months ago. I found myself in my room, with the usual assortment of random objects covering a significant share of the available floor space. On my desk were 2 tall glasses. I couldn’t see if anything was in them, so I decided to use them to test my abilities. I imagined the nearest glass was filled with a purple liquid, and as I reached over to pick it up, I saw that it now was. Not hesitating, I drank from it. I guess I was paying closer attention to how it felt, because I don’t recall any specific flavor to it.
On other occasions I’ve experienced very strong and realistic flavors. I guess it depends on what you can associate the particular object with in real life. I don’t recall the last time I drank purple liquid, so it ended up more like some generic lemonade or cordial. Perhaps if it was black, it might have more suitably adopted the taste of something I drink often – like Coke.
Anything I eat is usually just sitting on a table somewhere, abandoned, fully prepared and still hot. It’s a good thing you can’t get food poisoning in dreams.
