Couple concerns: You may have narcolepsy, but alternatively, you may be experiencing nocturnal seizures. So, recommended approach is to assess a sleep disorder vrs. Epilepsy. Treatment for both is highly effective these days.

See below: Seems like you are describing hypnopompic hallucinations ("dream like state"), hypnic jerks ("zaps"), ; sleep paralysis, which indicates disrupted sleep pointing to a sleep disorder such as narcolepsy or sleep apnea, esp. If you have daytime sleepiness. Speak to your neurologist about it, ; if recommended by him/her a sleep dr. Can evaluate ; treat it. Regularize your sleep times. Hope that helps!
