Well, it surely happened to me more than once, you just reminded me that once exactly the same happened to me - just as you describe, the "desert feeling", and I must say I was very, very much pleased to have a drink of water then. And not that I have been without drinking a long time before that, definitely not.
Hmm... other thing I remember now was a feeling of smelling a really not nice smell of apples when reading the Hobbit (Barrels out of bond, or, the next one). But I have to think of more, there certainly were many...
