This last sounds like Sleep Paralysis (SP). Search it. Does that fit? I'm not aware of any physical danger from it, but it can be very scary & feel impossible to breathe.

I don't know about body-shocks. The smell+someone elses thoughts doesn't make a good match with anything I've heard of, medical or paranormal; you score high on my uniqueness scale :-). You did mention deja-vu - one possible cause of deja-vu would be a type of epilepsy, a broadly defined condition which might include your bodyshocks, but I don't know if epilepsy episodes could be that short - you get an instant or so of bodyshock then go back to feeling normal (if a little shaken), right?
