weird kinda out of body experience

So this night was going in and out of multiple dreams, some lucid. Told myself in one non lucid dream "this is a dream", expecting to go lucid again, instead i felt like i had woken up. My bed did not resemble the one i fell asleep in that night, my vision was in grey scale with no color, besides a blue light emitting from my chest area. i was unable to move or feel, except for a slight wiggle in my toes and feet, and a medium buzzing in my right ear. i was in this state for a few seconds until fully awakened as my regular awakened self. after waking i felt a warm sensation in my feet, and discomfort in the right side of my brain. after a few minutes, about 3-4, the warm sensation traveled upwards to my shins before weakening, while the discomfort in my brain persists as i write this (30 minutes later).

Note: this was very similar to an experience i had a night before, except before i entered this state, a black humanoid figure appeared in one of my dreams, in which i awoke, then returned to sleep, trying to reach it again with mental images of what he resembled, until i awoke from the dream again in this grey scale sleep paralysis state. Panicked, i forced myself out of this by moving my hands, fighting the paralysis, in which after breaking it, i felt an extreme rushing sensation in my brain (not initially painful though only after i awoke) and finally waking up.

Also that feeling i have when i transition to this weird greyscale dream is very abrupt and everything goes black for a second, to the point where it feels like its snatching me into it or I'm getting knocked out. I definitely feel like i got knocked out when i wake up i might have to see a doctor.
