Sensations or perceptions without an external cause are typically referred to as hallucinations. Hallucinations can be experienced through any of the five senses and are often associated with conditions such as psychosis, dementia, or substance abuse. Treatment for hallucinations may involve addressing the underlying cause and may include medication or therapy.

What causes someone's sensations to arouse such as taste within a dream?

The sensations experienced in dreams, such as visual images, smells, sounds and tastes, come directly from the unconscious mind which draws on remembered experiences of those sensations. Sometimes a factor in the sleeper's environment might trigger a sensation in a dream; for example, food being cooked in a nearby kitchen can cause a sleeper to dream about breakfast. But such triggers are not necessary. The sleeping mind is fully capable of creating dreams filled with convincing sensations.
