I don’t see why smell should be any less of a sensation then touch or hearing. I suspect that when a dog dreams, smell is probably predominant over other senses seeing how they smell everything they can. |

Recently I had a barely lucid dream where I was walking out my door, and I saw a green dumpster in the middle of the street. It had a white lid, which was open, and I walked over to it. It oddly changed size when I walked over to it, shrinking from the normal size that would be over my head, to so I could see into it standing normally. I leaned over it, and looked inside of it, and I saw a box, and other things you'd expect in a dumpster.. But, then, there was this green.... liquid.. stuff, that had an immensely strong odor that caused me to quickly jump away from the dumpster and gag, nearly throwing up. o0; |

Paint doesn't taste cool in dreams, nor does bad tap-watter : ) |

Sometimes my dreams are so vivid that I utilize most or all of my senses. I always dream in color, and I've had countless dreams where I can feel pain or other sensations. I've also smelled certain things (like wildflowers) in my dreams. It's great when this happens because it brings so much realism to the dream, which is especially enjoyable if you're lucid. |

Yep, that does make sense - also think of how much easier it is to have a stimulus available for each of the senses. |

Yesterday, I was talking to someone about Lucid Dreams and mentioned how I never had the sense of smell. So, this morning I had a lucid dream (DILD) and made myself smell things. I did smell some flowers! The smell was weak, but it was there. Then I was able to smell strawberries by thinking about them. The sense of sight, sound, and touch are the strongest, but I'm able to smell too... But again, the sense of smell is the weakest sense, it seems. |

i had some extreme experiences with smell in dreams, never had them before. they started when i experienced smell in waking live. and until now my nense of smell does somewhat increase... but i tell you, we live, especially in the city, with ugly smellscapes.... people stink, streets stink, the thing they call food stinks..... i think we ignore the small sense until we do not get i consciously... but there are some experiences which work as a triger, and then the door is open and i tell you, i still need to adjust myself to the new situation of sensing odor..... |
