I'll be betting on the skeptical side.
Bcos I've tried similar experiments on myself. I get sleep
paralysis/hypaogogic/hypnopompic hallucinations once in a while.
And I try to recall the details seen.

Say if I hallucinated a figure standing some place in my room, I try to
remember exactly what else I saw or didn't see, and often I can remember
not-seeing something that I should have saw. Say, a clock. This tells me
that when I "saw" the figure, the rest of the "background" was also
generated by my mind, and not actually the outside world seen through my
eyes.
