That's rough. I don't recall ever having sleep paralysis, but there are conditions called hypnagogia and hypnopompic state in which one experiences vivid dreams or hallucinations between wakefulness and sleep or between sleep and wakefulness. I think I've experienced hypnopomp because I've had surreal, sometimes disturbing dreams just before waking up. One time I woke up thinking I was a heroin addict (I must have had a nightmare that I was). It took me a minute to regain consciousness and realize how ridiculous that was. It's unsettling when it happens, but it least I've gotten material for my comics out of it.
