Was this SP, or...?

Last night, I went to bed at around 9:20 PM because I was a little more tired than normal, but not by much.

I was in bed, completely still and relaxed for 8 minutes. Then, I suddenly felt what sounded like a cross between a light bulb burning out, and a whirring sound. I also saw a circular blob of white light in the corner of my eye on the left. It surprised me so much, I moved. I didn't feel paralyzed or anything, though - I just saw the light and heard the noise.

Is it possible this was SP? Or was it just in my head?

Sounds more like HI to me, but I have had no experience with SP at all so try and get a second opinion. I feel nothing when I get into SP.

I've heard that HI doesn't just happen during SP, but that it can also happen before you enter SP.
The next time something odd happens, I think the more experienced members would suggest you to just lie still and passively listen/watch, then dream scenes should start to form.

I have pre-sp HI and post-sp HI. The post-sp HI is more vivid of the 2.

Huh. Yeah, I guess since I didn't expect to enter SP or see HI, I just jolted myself out of it. Next time I'll stay still. :P
