After a long vivid non lucid dream, the dream changed to a creepy room in a log cabin that was black and white and in a lightning storm and immediately after i found myself in bed in a similar cabin type room. I remember feeling very anxious and afraid and then a figure walked by the window and as it did so it lit up and i heard a large boom (the kind u hear in movies when something startling happens) as it lit up. At that point I realized oh i think this is sleep paralysis, after which i began hearing some quiet creepy voices in my head and i kinda just sassed them but after that things went black for maybe a couple minutes and i woke up... my understanding is that sleep paralysis is something that happens in the middle of sleep not the end so my question is was i actually experiencing it or simply just dreaming about it?
