Yes. I just now woke up from a dream where I smelled the imaginary copy machine burning. Then I looked and saw it was on fire, walked around with poor motor skills, got a fire extinguisher, and was fixing to use it, but woke up.

Then I thought I should check to see what the internet says about smelling in your dreams. The answer here at Wiki.Answers was "No." It's obvious to me that is incorrect, as my confident first-hand experience tells me otherwise. So "Can" you smell in your sleep? Yes, assuming you have the same potential as me and assuming I am sharing a legitimate perception with you; both of which I find highly probable. "Will" you likely experience smelling in your sleep? Well that's up to you. It's probably not common.

The nature of dreams is not something trivial. Dreaming is intimately connected to the nature of consciousness and of experiencing life itself. So be careful in adopting the personal truths of others as your own when they tell you something is possible or not in your world of imagination.

Do people really lose their sense of smell when they are asleep?

No. That doesn't make any sense, does it? While we sleep a lot of our sensory information goes to our dreams, it takes a strong jolt to wake us up, whether it be a smell, bright flash, loud sound, etc. If that were the case, then smelling salts wouldn't wake people up, either.
