Wrong place for this? I'm not sure, I'm a noob right now.

I think I experienced sleep paralysis and I wanted to see what somebody thought about it.

My mom likes to call me early in the morning and tell me that it's later than it actually is. After she called me this morning at about 8:30 (she told me it was 10:00, evilhax, I know.) I went back to sleep, with some difficulty.

I had a dream about going to visit my parents. Nothing happened other than I just saw them sitting in an apartment. After seeing my parents and my dog, I found myself in the electronics aisle at Wal-Mart. I was staring through one of the display cases. I started to get this feeling I get when I lay in bed really still and I can feel my heartbeat through my whole body, really subtle but noticable. Well, I felt this sensation and it rapidly got more extreme to the point I felt like I was on a boat rocking back and forth, standing there in Wal-Mart. I remember saying "Stop. Just stop." Suddenly I all I could see was nothing, which I knew I was awake staring at the back of my eyelids. All I could feel was my hands by my pillow, laying in a "fell flat on my face" kind of position. I tried to shift and I couldn't. Immediately, I was thinking "oh shit oh shit. It's SP." I couldn't lift a finger. It felt like when your feet go to sleep and and you strain so hard to move a toe, but without the tingling. It was a cool feeling except I was scared because I've read stories about people in SP hallucinating they're being dragged through hallways by dead children and other crazy stuff. I kept thinking "c'mon move man, you can do it. Just move your finger." I could feel my hands slip through the mattress. I couldn't hear anything but a droning sound and muted footsteps in the hallway outside my room. Finally I got my finger to twitch just barely and I was able to open my eyes and move. My hands were so tired I could hardly make a fist. Does that happen when you experience SP and you strain to move? I just stayed there, staring up at the ceiling laughing. Then I did a reality check just to make sure it was done.

The dream wasn't lucid at all, so was it really SP? Or was I dreaming it was SP and nothing was happening at all?
