    I’m not sure if this is entirely relevant, but depending on your local climate it could be related to the smell known as petrichor that you will often get when it rains/is about to rain on soil, which could be affected by the moisture in your local area that accumulated overnight then evaporating more quickly as the sun rises.

        Ever shined a powerful flashlight or laser around and seen all the particles floating in the air? You can also see them sometimes with a particularly bright sun beam coming through a blind. While these probably aren’t spores, it does illustrate how much stuff you’re constantly breathing in. There is no escaping. You’re part of life, there’s billions of organisms on you and in you at all times, and they’re fighting for survival too. There’s no escape. The only reason you survive is because of your immune system, and that’s why AIDS patients and severe burn victims just die despite nothing particularly “wrong” happening to them.

    If I’m smelling or sensing things just before dawn, only one word comes to mind.

    Regret.
