There is a fairly common misconception that if you smell something that is not there (such as burnt toast) it is a sign of a stroke. This is not true. However, because a stroke can occur in any region of the brain, the sense of smell can be affected. Rather than smelling something that isn't there, though, it's more likely that the ability to smell anything will be hindered or that your response to smells is altered.
Hmm...not to scare you or anything, but it has been mentioned on these boards that a burnt toast smell COULD signify a brain tumor. It is weird that it occured at 3am, a time many people associate with demonic/spirit activity.
