What do you mean? Is it necessary to get through sleep paralysis in order to lucid dream? No, it's not, you can concentrate on other techniques if you find it unpleasant

At least that's what I did - I was trying to WILD and had few freaky SP experiences, when I stopped trying to WILD and started practicing other techniques, I had, I believe 3 accidental WILDs (only one of them was really successful, in other 2 I woke up because of the excitement that I did it) and each SP in these was really pleasant - hallucinations were amoung the most amasing things I've seen. So...

Also, as a lot of people say - you may not even feel SP sometimes and it can pass pretty much unnoticed.
