No, sleep paralysis (SP) is not dangerous at all. In fact, it happens every time we fall asleep- it's just that you don't notice it because you're already asleep when it happens. It's completely natural. SP is our body's way of keeping us safe so that we don't act out our dreams in real life while we sleep. Normally it goes away as soon as you wake up, but sometimes your mind wakes up before your body, and that's when you feel the paralysis. It can be kind of scary, but it can't hurt you and it will go away in a few seconds to a few minutes.
By the way, you don't have to experience sleep paralysis to have a lucid dream- it's just one way of getting into a lucid dream (usually happens when you're doing WILD.) There are other ways, like DILD, where you realize you're dreaming while you're already in a dream by recognizing dream signs and doing reality checks. SP can happen even when you're not trying to have a lucid dream, too.
As for the capitalization question, no, you only capitalize a word when it's at the beginning of a sentence, it's someone's name, a formal title, etc., but usually not in the middle of a sentence.
