Hopefully this is in the right section. To be honest I have no idea where this topic would best fit. If it gets moved, I won't be offended, lol.
Anyway, this morning I had something someone different happen that I thought to share on here. Now, I have picked up and what I can only call 'nonphysical sense of smell' before. Normally thought it makes sense and I can place who or what the smell is tied too. For example I used to smell my grandmother's favorite perfume often and still do from time to time.
This morning though I woke up early with no real reason. I couldn't sleep so I got up and decided to log onto the computer and check some emails. Sitting at my computer in my living room, I distinctly picked up the smell of baby powder. Admittedly it took me a moment to actually place what the smell was in the first place. It was so out of place in my home. Obviously I don't have children, and it's been years since I've smelled baby powder under any circumstances at all. It crossed my mind that it could have been carpet freshener at first, but that would of course be a stronger smell and anyway I hadn't used any yesterday of this morning.
When I thought about it I realized how odd it not only seemed, but also felt to smell it. It's the same idea as smelling the perfume. The sense that's it's a different kind of real, if that makes any sense at all.
I just wonder if such a smell has any sort of possible spiritual significance or anything that I might have missed.
