How Smell Affects Dreams

Smelling flowers with good scent before sleep can lead to more positive dream.
In research at the Sleep Disorders Centre of the University of Heidelberg, men and women were exposed to either the smell of flowers or hydrogen sulphide, or to no smell at all and results show that the emotional content of subsequent dreams was linked to the smell. 

Those who had the pleasant smell had significantly more pleasant dreams than those who had no smell and the people exposed to the sulphur smell had the most negative dreams.

Clinical trials have shown that the smell of lavender can help in insomnia, anxiety, stress, and post-operative pain, according to a report from Maryland University.

The smell of coffee can also lead to a calming effect, according to researchers at The University of California.

Smells are very powerful triggers of specific memories, and are used in therapy to help recover lost memories.
