how do yuo kno if you are in hypnosis

By hypnosis I believe you mean sleep paralysis. SP is a hypnogogic state of consciousness between awake and asleep. Signs of SP are loud sounds, sensations, intense vibrations, feelings of impeding fear, inability to move your physical body, all while you are still conscious.

Do you mean hypnogogic? It’s the very first stage as you drift off to sleep, just abstract or random imagery, shapes, colors, often stairs that you slip on or you might fall and jerk yourself awake. people often twitch in this stage. Lucidity in this stage is more difficult than in REM.

If your trying to stay aware through hypnagogic, it’ll be when you slip into a deeper relaxation and start to feel something undeniable, like vibrations, and hear an ongoing sound.

I’m pretty sure there’s nothing to notice in hypnogogic, it’s just simply the case that if you stay aware up until you hit hypnogogic, you’ll find yourself in that state where you can leave.
