This sounds like very vivid Hypnagogic Imagery experienced in Sleep Paralysis. Everytime when we fall asleep, our bodies are paralyzed to make sure we don't thrash around in our sleep. Usually we lose consciousness before this happens, but sometimes we don't and we can be in for one hell of a ride.
I know it can be very frightening, but the only way to make them stop is to try to accept them. Embrace them if you can and KNOW it's all completely harmless. Try to see it as an amazing adventure or anything that might help you, because I assure you, you are 100% safe.
Also, it's more common to experience Sleep Paralysis when lying on your back and during naps.
I've had a couple, and the first time I tried to scream as loud as possible but could only produce a tiny moan. The only thing we can control is our breathing and if you want it to end quickly try breathing either very slowly or as fast as possible (it worked in my case).
There is a last thing about Sleep Paralysis which is actually a good thing. When you are in that state, you are VERY close to being asleep. Your body basicly is, so it's only your mind left. If you allow yourself to relax, and just ignore the sensations, a dream will form around you in seconds. If you're conscious when that happens you will be in a Lucid Dream. This is how most DEILD attempts are like.
If you have anything more you'd like to ask, don't hesitate to. And good luck!
*EDIT* One last note. I've experienced alot of hallucinations when I'm actually up and awake. This isn't in SP and imagine how crazy it would be to see something in your couch even though you're standing up. I countered this by starting to appreciate them. I wanted to have them and that made them almost go away. They are still very frightening when I experience them, but minutes after experiencing it, I shrug it off or even smile at the amazing thing I just experienced. It's all about attitute towards the experiences that counts.
Don't take in the bad, transform it into something good and take in all of that!
