Yes, it's going to be basis for this one part where a character sees a barricaded door where he thinks that a young girl is imprisoned behind, but 'girl' is actually a type of pest demon and he becomes aware of the foul odor when the door starts appearing in his waking world. In his dream state, he can't smell odors due to him leaving his psychical body behind in the real world.
