Tasting and smelling things that are "not there" can be caused by many things...a few are: fungal infections in the sinus cavities and some medications. Metallic tastes and smells can be from medications. It can make you feel insane to taste and smell things that you know you have not tasted/eaten. If you are noticing this all the time or if it comes and goes, it is probably best to go to an ENT...ear, nose and throat physician. Some epileptics note a different taste or smell right before they have a seizure..a form of aura.

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.
