you release DMT when you dream in REM sleep. sleep paralysis is basically when you become conscious during REM but the rest of your body hasn't quite caught up yet. which is why you can't move and why you can occasionally experience very vivid hallucinations when this happens (some DMT is still being released)

"Sleep paralysis is now generally understood to be a dissociated version of the
paralysis that normally accompanies rapid-eye-movement (REM) sleep, that is, that phase
of sleep during which many of our most vivid dreams occur..."

"You know, when you sleep, during the time you're in heavy R.E.M. sleep, and right before human death, your brain pumps out heavy doses of dimethyltryptamine. Nobody knows what sleep is all about. Nobody knows why dreaming is important. But dreaming is hugely important. If you don't dream, you'll go fucking crazy and you'll die. While you're dreaming, while you're in heavy R.E.M. sleep, you are going through a psychedelic trip. And very few people know about this. But it's been documented."

So basically,
sleep paralysis = version of REM sleep
REM sleep = release of DMT and vivid dreams

but i'm probably wrong thinking there's a connection between the two
