Is it normal to have brief phantom smells?

For example, when I picked up some chicken at the drive through I briefly smelled freshly baked cookies then as soon as I woke up this morning I smelled freshly baked cookies. The smell is brief.

  • Rumor has it angels smell like cookies. Does that make any sense to you?

      As I have read, angels smell like your favorite smell, what ever that is. That is, if you can smell them, or even know they are angels.

      • Smell is one of the strongest memory triggering senses, so that makes some sense.

      Haha! I've never heard that. If that's true, I welcome all the angels in the world! Lol

      • I hear ya, but I thought it might have been a connection to something that recently happened to you.

          No, not recently.

    The only phantom smells I ever detect are when my dad gets done in the bathroom.

    I don't want to alarm you but that may be the sign of a brain lesion or tumor.

      I know. It makes me worry. When I do smell something else, it doesn't last a long time, just a few seconds. If it lasted for a while, I would be EXTREMELY worried.
