This : This may be related to a sleep state - an olfactory hallucination either while dreaming or upon waking up. I recommend that you see your doctor. He or she may recommend that you have a polysomnogram (sleep study) to capture the electrical activity of your brain waves as it is occuring; or might consult with a neurologist. Either way, it should be evaluated. Take care.
