Expericece of/with/in
this seems like the division to me:
"i have a lot of experience of hunger"
a personal experience, like i have of a lot of experience of being hungry as a child.
"i have a lot of experience in hunger"
i have studied it as a concept, not personal, more like its biological effects or sociological implications etc.
"i have a lot of experience with hunger"
this is a lot more ambiguous to me, so if someone said this it would depend on the context on which meaning it would take.
eg. 1) i have a lot of experience with hunger. when i was little, food was very scarce.
eg. 2) i have a lot of experience with hunger. in the laboratory we undertook many experiments as part of our investigation.
how does that sound?is it true?
Would someone please tell me a little about when we have to use experiences/experience?
I asked this question before but there was nothing understandable for me, it was confusing ;(
For example: i have lots of experience/experience"s" in/with/of cooking and cleaning.

You are right about "in" and "of". "with" is less common in my experience and I would say that it is sometimes interchangeable with "in", but never with "of".
For me, "with" is used with a method or a phrase which describes the use or application of something e.g. I have experience / I am experienced with/in the use of laser technology," (I am not really!) I prefer "in" to "with", even when "with" is possible.
On your second point, consider this situation:
"I went on holiday and tried 10 different sports including skiing, on 10 different occasions. I had some amazing experiences.
Are you now experienced in skiing (the skill)?
No, I have very little experience of skiing (the activity). I have only had one experience (occasion) of skiing."
