The Complete Guide to Interpreting Your Dreams

by Stearn Robinson - Tom Corbett
Unidentifiable odors in a dream have a straightfor- ward meaning in relation to your personal reaction to Üıem; pleasant ones are a good omen, unpleasant ones predict anxieties which could be major or minor depending on the degree of unpleasantness.

If the odor in your dream was identifiable, then check under separate listings, i.e. Roses, Beef, Meat, Lotus, Lily, etc.

My Dream Interpretation

by myjellybean
To dream of an unpleasant odor predicts anxieties which could be major or minor (depending on how bad the dream smell is). Also, to smell something in your dream often indicates your past experiences and feelings with that particular smell. Your dream may be trying to convey a feeling to you by associating it with a familiar smell.

Islamic Dream Interpretation

by Ibn Seerin
Smelling a bad odor in a dream means hearing bad words, or it could mean distress. Smelling odor that emanates from under the armpit in a dream means headache, nasal congestions, cold, or hearing bad news, divulging secrets, dispelling rancor and jealousy, or it could mean relaxing after an exhausting workday, contracting an eye disease, or it could mean loathsomeness.

If a child smells such an odor from under his armpit in his dream, it means that he has reached his puberty, or it could mean an illness or an accident that could take away his life.
