It looks like gab has already helped you out. This can be scary if you are not expecting it. I'm sure your insomnia helped bring on some of these hallucinations. During college, I would stay awake for days at a time. Afterwards, when I finally slept, I would have the craziest dreams. Hallucinations like you described, sleep paralysis, false awakenings, lucid dreams, the works.
It can be hard to think straight at the time, but try to keep in mind that it is all a hallucination. It is just another type of dream. If you want to wake up, try to focus on moving your big toe. If you want to transition to a lucid dream, try to use the hallucination to your advantage. If you are sliding around the bed, imagine yourself moving in one direction, flying into a dream. If it feels like there is a presence in the room, ask it for help, or reach out for it to help you out of bed. If you are just laying in bed, paralyzed, imagine rocking back and forth until you roll out of bed.
Normally, all I have to do is imagine walking somewhere familiar, touching everything I see. You are already dreaming, so you just need to change the dream scene. Close your eyes if you feel like they are open (they are not), and imagine a familiar memory.
