Never had anything like that myself that I can recall. But sounds pretty darn terrifying to experience.
Sounds to me (in my unprofessional opinion) that your mind made up a nightmare to try to explain the sleep paralysis you were experiencing.
I've often noticed that if there are loud noises, like very loud sonic booms, an electrical generator exploding, or something like that, while asleep, my dreams will often weave them into the dream itself. Some actually seem to be predictive in nature, as it is uncanny how the dream will actually put pieces in place where the dream explanation of the noise rolls right into place, and flows into the existing narrative instead of just flashing into place. But honestly, I don't find it easy to remember my dreams as easily as I could do while I was younger, so I don't remember this happening recently.
The brain is certainly a weird creature. I've often thought that our brains are far too complex for our brains to ever fully understand.
