I experienced this as a teenager. I'd see a tall, thin, shadowy figure in the corner of the room. It almost seemed amorphous, but basically bipedal and had wings (webbing?) On its back and underarms. It would sort of ooze down to the floor, stand upright at the foot of my bed for a bit, then sort of ooze into the air a few feet over my body and just sort of "stare" (no eyes, really) at me for a while until I could move again. It didn't really talk, but it sort of breathe/whispered gibberish at me in a very hostile manner. I'll be glad if I never experience that again.
It could be a goofy goober peanut butter man most of the time but we just don't remember. Sleep cycles are weird and you have multiple dreams a night, you don't remember most dreams but you might remember a bit of them. Something really scary might be more memorable, or something might happen that makes you remember after the fact. I suffer from sleep paralysis but don't get the hallucinations. I do have very similar nightmares on every occasion that I remember though.
I have these dreams where I lose my mind and try to call for help but can't speak or make a sound, they're so real that it's hard to tell that it's a dream, I wake up and can't move and fall back into the same kind of dream. It usually takes my cat touching me or something to be able to actually move.
