      What is the most vivid sense in your dreams?

      Touch, smell, taste, sight, hearing or emotions? In your average dream, lucid or not.

      It's touch for me as well; I've never felt something that seemed "half-realistic" or fuzzy in terms of vividness.

      Sight is a close second.

      Sight.

      A few days ago, I decided to test how real a dream looks compared to reality. So I went really looking at things and it's amazing how real it all looks.

      Things definitely look very realistic at times, even hyper-realistic and detailed. The majority of my dreams tend to have visuals that have about 7/10 the clarity of real life, but the occasional object or scene is really vivid and might even have 11/10 the clarity. It's like watching something in super high definition.

      Sight - especially when it comes to the lighting of each dream though. The kind of light tells me beforehand if it's going to be an adventure dream, a nightmare, a romantic dream... It's all in the lighting.

      Sight for me as well.

      Only in one dream I had another hyperreal sense. Emotion, unrelated extrem bloodthirst. Never happened again and didn't really mean anything though.
      Personal Records so far: Max lucids per day: 2 | Max lucids per week: 4 | Max lucids per month: 8 | Max dreams recalled in one night: 17
      Longest lucid dream: ~35min | Highest flight: zoomed out of common existence [WTF?] | Fastest speed: FTL | DILD/EILD/DEILD [X] | WILD/VILD [X] | MILD/FILD/HILD [ ]
      Interested to know how I got 17 dreams in one single night? And how I think I still could Improve? Check out my new and improved Dream Recall Compendium: The Dream Recall Compendium

      Sight for me. I see so many things so instantaneously with incredible definition and the sights have a continual evolving movement to them somewhat like music, but in sight.

      Sight and emotions prevail over the other senses. Now I realize that I haven't experienced the sense of taste in my dreams.

      Definitely touch. Sight is sometimes very very good too, as puffin said.

      Sight for me, followed closely by sound. I can usually spot an irregularity in something that will end up triggering a lucid, or just wake me up.

      I think mine is emotion. If I'm scared, I'm really scared and I feel like I'm sweating if I'm hot. If I'm happy, I smile and eventually my cheeks will start to hurt. I don't recall tasting anything, or hearring much in my dreams. Sight is just slightly under average. But as if I wasn't emotional enough in reality, in my dreams it is even stronger.

      I haven't had a LD yet, but in my regular dreams, sight is usually most vivid. I never seem to hear much, and not much in the way of smells, either. Are your senses stronger in a LD then in a regular dream?

      I either pity your real life, or envy your dream life.

      Today I had a semi-lucid dream where my eyes were closed and started chewing on a random thing out of nowhere. It turned out to be grape bubble gum which last I had was from Halloween about 7 years ago. It hardly had any taste as if all the flavor had already been chewed out of it(maybe meant to be that way), the chewing sensation was strong though. I haven't really had anything taste any better or stronger in a dream, when I try to drink soda it's like drinking carbonated water.

      I have had some strong tasting stuff though like steak and some spaghetti with some kind of butter or something on it that made me want to puke.

      My sense of taste and touch are the most vivid, in the sense of being most true to reality. The visual component is the most important, but can be quite foggy sometimes. I don't often focus on them, but when I do use my sense of taste or touch, it's as vivid as reality.

      One of my oldest dreams involves the odour of soap. It smelled very real and vivid. However, that is one of the only times I have ever smelled anything in a non-lucid dream that I can remember.

      Yeah, I agree with Puffin If they do seem like they could be connected I usually only notice after I write them down. Then I add a note at the end explaining the possible connection

      I find sight and emotion to be pretty close, but sight comes out on top.
