Sleep Paralysis?

Hi everyone! So I deal with sleep paralysis sometimes while i’m sleeping. I’m not sure if it’s a different kind of sleep paralysis or really if that’s what it even is. I’ll have really bad nightmares and somehow i’m aware i’m asleep so i’ll try to wake myself up, but this doesn’t work ever it’s like i’m stuck in it. I’ve woken up crying, screaming or talking from it. It’s really stressful and it kind of impacts me afterwards I know that it’s kind of silly to say, but the dreams are genuinely traumatizing to me. I’ve also started getting what I think are hallucinations in my sleep that wake me up. I was having a really bad nightmare the other night and felt my boyfriend put his fingers on my back so I shot awake and asked “what the hell why did you do that?” he didn’t answer me even though he was fully sat up with his glasses on in the dark. I asked him in the morning why he did that and he was clueless. He also has hallucinations when he wakes up and does talk in his sleep, but i’ve never seen him just sitting up with his glasses on in the dark like that. Sorry for the long post just wondering if anyone else with schizoaffective experiences anything like this or not.
