Islamic Interpretation
Smelling a bad odour in a dream means hearing bad words, or it could mean distress. Smelling an odour that emanates from under the armpit in a dream means headache, nasal congestion, cold, or hearing bad news, divulging secrets, dispelling rancour and jealousy, or it could mean relaxing after an exhausting workday, contracting an eye disease, or it could mean loathsome. If a child smells such an odour from under his armpit in his dream, it means that he has reached puberty, or it could mean an illness or an accident that could take away his life.
