So this morning i woke up around 7:30 am and went back to sleep and i had a false awakening in which i was looking at my iphone and the layout was unfamiliar at which point i realized i must be dreaming, Then before i even had a chance to rc i abruptly entered sleep paralysis. it only lasted around 4 seconds and was not too frightening because i was educated on the cause and how to stop it. But my question is that i always thought Sp only occured durring WILD and i have never even had SP before let alone when having a DILD, can i stop it? and why did i go
into SP from a DILD

WILD and SP aren't actually related. You enter SP as a part of your regular sleep cycle; it's what keeps your from randomly flailing about while you dream. It is possible to enter SP as you wake up from a dream, regardless of what technique you use. It's not necessarily a common thing, but it can happen. You seem to have a good grasp on SP, so frankly I wouldn't worry about it. It can be few and far between, and in the end doesn't affect your ability to LD.
