Trance is a good platform for conscious OBE, but sleep paralysis is another thing. In sleep paralysis there is not always lucidity and the focus is on the body (and the fact that you can't move.) I don't think this is desirable.
Trance however, can include paralysis, but there is a level of lucidity and awareness that is the perfect state for OBE, and unfortunately both states get confused often. So don't look for sleep paralysis, because that just puts emphasis on your body state, something you don't want to do if you want a successful OBE, and look for deep trance, a state which may include paralysis but doesn't include thinking about it- the focus is outward or inward, but not the body.
