I don't know if this just happened

alright i think i had a WILD, or I woke up in SP. Here's what happened:

I was lying in bed and all of a sudden I feel my body tingling and hear a loud buzzing noise. Then I see some weird stuff. First I see a pattern on my blanket start to resemble an eye that reminds me of my own eyes reflection. Then I see a character come out of my blanket and it starts to do flips. It then shoots an energy ball at the blanket and all these stick figures fall out and die. Then the character and stick figures disappear. Also while I'm seeing this it's like I'm looking through an oldschool film reel effect. Then I hear someone say shut up, because I think I'm breathing loudly at this point. I try to get up and I think my dream self lifts the blanket and i see a figure in a black robe at the foot of my bed. I put my hand out and the person pulls me up. It takes me over to where my window is and then i get a glimpse of the person's face. I see these blue eyes and smile, but the person doesn't look human. Before i looked up at the face though, i tried to think of an attractive woman. The dream then fades and the outline of the person was a shadow from my blanket. I could also open and close my eyes while this was going on.

Sorry for the wall of text but my question is, is this how hypnagogic hallucinations are like or was it a dream of me experiencing this?

I think that it was HH, because you started trying to WILD, ended up in SP, then after SP, HH is induced. Maybe you did start to drift into a dream. Did you happen to look at a clock to see how long that took to occur?

That was SP my friend, and a very exciting experience of it at that! Typically, yes that is how hypnagogic imagery appears, but normallly with your eyes closed. Sleep paralysis is a tad different, because during that point, your body is entirely asleep, and your brain thinks that you are unconscious.

You opened and closed your eyes, you say, however it's more likely that you never did open them. I think you opened your dream eyes, and thought you opened your real eyes. It can be VERY difficult to tell the difference. It is possible that you opened your real eyes, and the images you had when your eyes were closed remained present, because the room was dark.

I did a wbtb and tried to go back to sleep around 5 AM. Then i had this experience and after I looked at the clock and it was around 7:30.

Also when you're in SP, does it feel you your body is trying to move upwards?

This sounds way more advanced than simple HH, though initially I believe that it is what you are describing. Were you paralyzed? If not, who knows if you were in SP. But, I think it was probably the start of a dream.

When you're in SP, your "body" can feel a number of things, because your real body is paralyzed and generally can't feel anything

Often times, I feel as though I'm sinking into my bed, and I fall through it, and that's the start of my lucid dream. Other times I feel like I'm uncontrollably floating upward. It varies

The only way to know for sure from your home bedroom if you were in SP is if your body was paralyzed. The rest are just HH.

I just took a nap and tried to WILD. I got to the point where I felt buzzing and tingling, but then got out of it for some reason (maybe excitement?). I also felt as if my body was trying to float upwards again.
