Different form of AP?

When I took a small nap, I tried to wake up. I couldn't move my physical right arm, but did move it. I don't think I was experiencing that paralysis thing(maybe I was). Though I was aware of my surroundings. I couldn't see anything, again, I couldn't control my body. I felt disconnected(no I wasn't possessed). I tried opening my eyes, but I still couldn't see anything. I then felt like my astral body vibrate. I touched my stomach and it shocked my hand! It felt like my hand was going to be pulled in and be destroyed. Then I focused on getting attached to my body to fully move. Then I finally opened my eyes and could see again.
So my question is, did I really experience a small AP? Or was it really that paralysis thing going on? I was a bit freaked out when I "woke up" to only see nothing but darkness. I wasn't wearing a blind fold and I thought for a second there that I've gone blind. That wasn't the case, I just couldn't control my body until I forced myself to get attached to it. I hope this is making sense. I'm trying my hardest to explain.

Sleep paralysis and out-of-body experiences happen in this sort of in-between condition that can get very, very strange in many ways. It could be hypnogogia or hypnopompia, which are just fancy words for "weird stuff that happens when you're going to sleep" and "weird stuff that happens when you're waking up". It might have been a little AP. Don't worry, though, it's normal... er... as normal as these things get.

Okay, cool.
