Hallucinations...?!

Hallucinations...?

Ok...so when I was little I used to have night terrors but they have stopped ever since I moved to the house I live in now. But sometimes before I go to bed and I am trying to fall asleep my whole body goes numb and I get really scared for no reason and I see faces ...and I can't even describe how scary it is. And its hard to snap out of and I just lay there super scared until it ends. I can't move no matter how much I want to. I have been doing research and some people get hallucinations called hypnagogic hallucinations which are hallucinations people get between waking and sleeping. Has anyone experienced this sorta thing and does anyone know anything about this? Am I having a "hypnagogic" hallucination?

Hypnopompic and hypnagogic hallucinations occur only upon falling asleep or immediately upon awakening. Many people have them and they're considered normal. I have them from time to time. Sometimes when I'm drifting off I'll hear a noise or a voice or feel something crawling on me. I've woken up, opened my eyes and briefly saw a person or a thing in the room. Hallucinations are generally only a concern if they occur at other times. Like if you're hearing voices or seeing things when you're walking around wide awake. If they only occur while falling asleep or upon awakening I wouldn't worry about it.
