Small

Something that is small (perhaps smaller than you would expect) can represent: Something you feel lacks power, strength, importance, or effectiveness.

Something you perceive as vulnerable or overlooked.

Something that seems “under control” in your life (or that you’d like to have more control over).

“A lesser amount” or “lesser degree” of whatever the object or person represents (or example, if a car represents personal power, an undersized car might represent feeling unempowered in your life).

Something in miniature form can represent something you’d like to study, control, keep, or try out on a small scale.

For more clues, consider the meaning of the object or person that’s small.

Psychological / emotional perspective: Childhood is a time when smell is very significant. Many smells that are associated with that time, e.G. Baking bread, burning oil, flowers, school dinners, can still be very evocative for us as adults.

A pleasant smell could represent happy times or memories, whereas a bad smell can hold memories of particularly traumatic times.

Material aspects: To be conscious of a smell in a dream usually means that we are trying to identify an object or its source. Most other senses are sharpened in dreams, but the sense of smell is made available only if a specific interpretation is needed.
