Subliminal Stick Use

I went out for Sushi last night (and actually had some raw fish (sashami?) but that is not for discussion today). It was a bit odd because for the whole evening, it felt like I had someone else's hands. Like most Eastern food, Sushi is eaten with chopsticks which normally I have huge problems with. Last night however, I had no problems at all. I could pick up battered prawns, bits of lettuce, fish, rice and wine. Actually, not wine, that would be stupid. The only explanation for my new found proficiency was that I've been dreaming about foreign food and have somehow sleep-learnt to use the sticks. This doesn't seem likely. I don't normally dream of food.
