Sleep Paralysis Vs. Astral Projection

Someone made a post wondering if what they experienced was sleep paralysis or astral projection, and I didn't want to hijack their thread with my experience so I thought I would make a new one.
I have never astral projected, and until last year I never experienced sleep paralysis. I don't know which of the two it was actually, initially I thought it was sleep paralysis but here is what happened.

I was having a really VIVID dream. It felt SO real, and in this dream I suddenly found myself in the upstairs bathroom of my parents home...I was washing my face in the sink it seemed...when I started wondering how I got there, I was confused because last thing I remembered was being home in bed. So I exit the bathroom and I don't feel like I am walking...more like gliding. I call out to my mother, no one is answering, the house seems empty. I glide to the stairs to head down, and all of a sudden I am WHISKED away and find myself back in my bed. Only I can't move, all I can move is my eyes so I look at the lock and it's time for me to get up and go for work, and I am thinking to myself "Ok, don't fight this, this is sleep paralaysis, you've read about this, the worst you can do is fight it" So I relax, wait a couple minutes and then wiggle my finger, when I am able to do so I was able to get up.

So the ending is the reason i thought it was sleep paralysis, and then I was talking to my cousin the other day and we were talking about astral projection, and I told her about my sleep paralysis and she said it sounds like astral projection...so Im wondering if anyone can help me figure out which of the two it was?
