Was this a case of sleep paralysis?

When I was six, I was having a dream (the topic of the dream doesn't matter), but at one point when I was talking to someone in the dream, it locked up like the computer I had back then.
I was still talking, because it had frozen up while I was in mid-sentence, and I could feel my lips moving, feel the blankets on me, feel the mattress and pillow beneath me, hear my sister's radio.
I could still see the image of the dream across my eyelids quite clearly, but nothing and no one was moving.
I freaked out and was unable to do anything for about five to ten minutes, except feel the quickening beating of my heart.
Then finally I snapped out of it, and it never left my memory.
Does that event sound like a case of sleep paralysis?
