Sleep paralysis, when I've encountered it, has come toward the end of my dreams. It was scary for a couple seconds then, but now I'm not afraid.
Once I was shot in the stomach with a sniper rifle (in a dream), and I woke up and couldn't breathe for one breath. Also I was stabbed in the back with a grid of invisible needles (had sharp shooting pains), I woke up and couldn't move for two seconds. I thought I was dead when I got stabbed initially, because my vision went from black, to yellowish, to crimson red. It really scared me, until I could function properly.
In reality, I have fallen from a tree, hit my jaw on it, and my vision went from black to yellowish. I saw the crimson red as an even further extension of a more painful injury.
I think the best thing would be to just to let these things happen, before you realize they are happening. It will be scary, and it's easier said than done, but then you'll be on the other side of the fence and realize there are no worries.
