I heard this a while ago & am curious if people can or can not smell when they’re sleeping. I looked on google, lycos, etc. but I couldn’t find very much relavent information.
Yours in pointless curiousity,

Well, my ex smelled pretty bad at times in her sleep. Esp if she was getting sweaty.
I had a dog that was skunked a few years ago. It was the smell that woke up Mrs. H and I. From my experience, the sense of smell is still active when one is sleeping.

Sure. Smell, smoke for example, can wake you up. So can the smell od food.
Peace,

also smelling salts can wake people up from sleep.
I would be surprised if people’s sense of smell didn’t work whiile they were sleeping (afterall - being able to smell the breath of a hungry lion might be quite useful for survival)
On another note - I know it is possible to taste in dreams, because I had a dream a few weeks ago about stuffing my face with crisps (potato-chips to most doperts) which has put me off eating crisps ever since.
