Infact verdict: Mostly True (63/100).

The claim that unpleasant odors during sleep may lead to negative dreams is supported by multiple sources. The Sleep Foundation and CBS News both indicate that smells can influence the nature of dreams, with unpleasant scents often causing more negative dreams. These sources are considered reliable, with CBS News being a high-reliability source. However, the evidence suggests that further study is needed to fully understand this relationship. Therefore, the claim is plausible but not definitively proven.
