Of course, there's always something down the rabbit hole, I simply find it difficult to put too much stock into anything that lies there when I give it enough thought. I'm not one to question for the sake of questioning (often-at least these sorts of things) myself, but when the opportunity arises, it's interesting to see how little I can say for sure about anything around me/within me/me if we get very very specific.
I've had lucid dreams where I could manipulate my dream, and dreams where I realized that I was dreaming and yet could not, simply being aware that I am dreaming has not -in my experience- automatically led to my being able to control the dream. Obviously, experience may vary. I actually have a regularly recurring dream (have for the past few years) that I immediately recognize as a dream every time I can remember having it, but I've never been able to do anything other than watch it play out.
(now that you mention it I can't recall having every smelled anything in a dream myself -wonder why?)

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
