Sleep paralysis glitch???

I’ve had sleep paralysis just about once every other month since I was probably 13 and my experiences range but the other night was unlike others.

I had a nightmare where I was with a friend in my apartment but there was a group of people trying to break in. I woke up to having sleep paralysis and yelled for my friend who was in my dream (still blurring dreams with reality) but then suddenly I had the realization that I was in my room experiencing sleep paralysis and yelling for my friend wouldn’t help but my girlfriend could so I started yelling for her and telling her to wake me up. I kept going back and forth from my dream and reality telling her her to wake me up and for the first time in my life I felt like I was actually making noise!! I woke up to my girlfriends hands on my chest and I was sat straight up panicked still worrying the dream #intruders were going to come in but then reality sunk in and I hugged my gf then went back to sleep.

In the morning she said I was mumbling but clearly in distress for 5 minutes before sitting up!! I’m stunned. I’ve never been able to make noise during paralysis before, had anyone else been successful in making noise/movements during sleep paralysis?
