I never hit bottom, I wake up. Not hitting bottom, even in a dream, is supposed to be a good thing. D.G.

The commenter must have had a lot of impact to your subconscious memory. Never be afraid of taking up space on my blog. I love long detailed comments and ongoing discussions in my comment sections.<br /><br />Shannon -- Hospital smell is an excellent example. I've only had one experience of having a hospital stay and many visits to others in the hospital and I know of those smells. I'm sure they could influence the dreams of one staying in the hospital or smelling something like medicinal alcohol might make one dream of being in a hospital. And yes, smell can be strongly associated with memories.<br /><br />LeeArlee Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663942782929929334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4020898804375958182.post-30794448716541681152012-11-28T21:15:35.074-08:002012-11-28T21:15:35.074-08:00I can't, off the top of my head, think of a dr...I can't, off the top of my head, think of a dream involving a smell, but I'm positive I've had some influenced by smells, though. Usually not in a pleasant way. For instance, hospital smells conjure up very strong dreams for me.<br /><br />I can conjure smells up from strong memories, and vice versa.

It has a lively bunch of commenters with frequent snarking that once in a while blows up into a full fledged war zone. One commenter then quits posting for a while and eventually comes back as if nothing happened. His longest snit lasted about a year and a half. I think he is hilarious and he had been on a snit for a few months. I dreamt he returned to commenting the night before he showed up, same night as I dreamt of the smell of booze on the co-workers breath.

Last night I had a dream that morphed into an unpleasant place, a former co-worker was trying to avoid me and when he spoke to me I thought "wow he was drinking at lunch". <br /><br />This morning when I was checking a crossword site I remembered I dreamt that one of the posters had returned. I checked and sure enough there he was. <br /><br />Two odd things in one dream. <br />fmcgmccllchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00184250774341700041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4020898804375958182.post-70360910852960427972012-11-23T17:10:01.726-08:002012-11-23T17:10:01.726-08:00On one occasion, I had a dream about smelling face...On one occasion, I had a dream about smelling face powder, and to this day I cannot tolerate the smell of certain cosmetics. I still haven't been able to correlate that dream to anything meaningful in my life - curious indeed.

Up to a week ago I would have said I don't think I have ever noticed a particular scent during my dreams, but for the past 5 or 6 days I have had a recurring dream, early in the morning that is always accompanied by a very distinctive and not unpleasant scent. Not exactly sure what the trigger could be.farawayeyeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17578277501054242356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4020898804375958182.post-40427936084962048742012-11-22T09:21:52.880-08:002012-11-22T09:21:52.880-08:00I can't remember any 'smell' dreams, o...I can't remember any 'smell' dreams, or even any where it was prevalent. I remember sensations, like falling into water, falling off things (and hoping I don't hit bottom).<br /><br />Dreams are interesting, no doubt about it. I like to think our dreamscapes uses that part of our brain that we don't use in our waking hours. Nice post, Lee.D.G. Hudsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06213237734772028645noreply@blogger.com
