"so you're physically paralyzed in your nightmare state. The line between awake and asleep becomes blurred. This paralyzation is usually accompanied by visions of an evil black shadow at the foot of the bed "
These are not night terrors, it's sleep paralysis and hypnopompic hallucinations. I think night terrors are much more serious, these are natural and the like the opposite of a lucid dream.
I got them all the time when I had a really bad sleeping pattern, the good news is if you're getting these then you're also close to getting lucid dreams and often if you wake with sleep paralysis and hallucinations then you can sometimes close your eyes and slip straight into lucid dreams, which is fun.
The hallucinations can also be much more solid than just black figures, I've seen floating objects and all sorts of stuff while paralysed.
