Scary Experience | Advice please

I had a very scary experience during a nap I had earlier, and I was hoping I could get some advice and help on defining what it is.

Earlier today I took a nap, and near the end I was having a pretty random dream that I don't remember much. When it ended, I neither went unconscious nor woke up. I was in a state where I was not in a dream, everything was completely black, but I was entirely aware. It felt sort of like sleep paralysis, except instead of being unable to move in my bed, I wasn't even in my room. I wasn't anywhere. I usually have no trouble waking up from dreams, but I wasn't able to at all. Trust me I was trying lol

A couple times throughout this I did have false awakenings into dreams. In one of them I was back in the original random dream, which took me a minute to realize but when I did I went back to "the black". In another one I had a typical false awakening in my bed, realized right away I was still dreaming, and (pretty stupidly because I was scared) went to my parents and tried to tell them to wake me up. Then I went back to the black.

I was trying very hard to wake up or scream and eventually, after what felt like a few minutes, my head jerked and I woke up. I'm pretty freaked out about this and, while I know its not logical, am actually a little bit anxious about going back to sleep.

Has anyone ever experienced anything like this? Is it a form of sleep paralysis? Any advice?

Thank you for reading!

Edit: I'm actually 20 yrs old, my signature is super old and I can't find where to change it. (feel free to tell me haha)

I experience this occasionally. "The black" you refer to is often referred to as "the void." This is not a form of sleep paralysis, it's simply a lack of visual content during the dream.

Among the times I've experienced this, a couple of times I've called out to the dream "I want to see!" and was able to see again. Other times, I've regained my vision from imagining a dream scene or paying attention to my sense of touch and expecting a dream scene to form around it.

There is an easy to understand explanation for this. Yo are not always in REM sleep. You can eventually learn to become aware in all phases of sleep. For sake of easy any sleep state that is not the vivid REM sleep (where most regular dream are) is just called nREM or non-REM sleep. If you become lucid in one of the other phases of sleep your experience can be very different from what most think of as a dream. Hypnogogic imagery is an example. You may be in a swirl of disembodied emotion or color, you may be in quiet stillness, or perhaps see images much more two dimensional and cartoon like.
Nothing to be concerned about, just you becoming aware while no dream was going on.
