In my opinion awIting that one should experience sleep paralysis before entering dream is simply one expectation too much. Let me make one excourse into dream itself. If you are within dream, you are in your dream body immersed in dream environment. Somehow to get yourself into your dream body you have to "forget" that you have your real body, you have to shift your attention from your real body into your dream body.

Everyone strives for sleep paralysis experience before dream itself. But what is sleep paralysis experience? You are in your bed not feeling your real body, but you are concentrated on your body not being there. Your focus is still on your real body, now experiencing that You dont feel it. But still in your bed, not in dreamworld. Only when you realize that from the beginning waiting for your body to go numb is unnecessary, only, when you realize that the only thing that matters is shifting your attention from your body away, you may be catapulted into a dream.

Forget about your body in bed, become your dream body.

Its eighter sleep paralysis experienc, or dream experience at one point in time and space. which one would you prefer?
