I’ve had something similar for the last 5-6 years.Periodic smell that is impossible to identity—I would describe it as sort of like banana if it was fermented into a liqueur. Very weird. It has become less and less frequent. (I go to the dentist consistently every six months, no problems with my teeth.)

There are a lot of possible causes so you might want to get it checked out, although given how long it's been going on it's probably nothing! I do wonder how common it is.

Funny story. About three weeks ago I wrote a poem about smelling smoke at night at home and fighting wildfire.

Good ending question. The fires in California are a challenge.

Powerful as if we feel something it may not be a fact but it is real. I like the character in your book having this reoccurring experience.

It could be very real and in your head! What a conundrum. In a way a small taste of insanity 😱🤪
