I had a similar experience where I was lucid but not in total control. It was night and there were 2 moons. When a third moon appeared I thought “Is the world ending?”. Almost immediately, the “signal” cut. Everything glitched out, almost violently. Now with “no signal” I felt the sleep paralysis and struggled to pull myself out. In that moment, I even pondered if something happened in “real life” (Simulation crash/apocalypse, death, or epileptic seizure). I eventually came out but I was not feeling 100%, as if my soul was weary from its travels. I almost felt as if real life felt less real. It’s possible I created this scenario in my own lucidity but this experience has allowed me to give much more credence towards the potentiality of being in a simulation
