There is no evidence of this. Sleep paralysis is a condition on waking not while asleep. Providing medically inaccurate information is dangerous. It may be your opinion that it's linked to some kind of out of body experience but there is no scientific data to this end.
Also, sleep paralysis does not occur while dreaming. You are not asleep while it is happening. It specifically refers to when your brain has awoken but not turned back on the neural pathways to your body, so your body cannot move even though you are awake, hence why it is called paralysis.
