I think sleep paralysis explains one thing, but not the smell.
I had such a vivd nightmare once, involving being restrained, and someone about to torture/kill me... I couldn't move my arms or legs at all and only thought one thing - headbutt them when they get closer. I woke up when I'd headbutted the wall beside me so hard that I brained myself. The pain was so bad but the fear was still there for the next few minutes.
However, i've never smelt things in a dream - that is very strange indeed
