For What It's Worth:

Like it or not, SSILD is WILD. Or rather, SSILD is a technique you could employ to achieve a WILD.

WILD is a condition of consciousness (as is DILD), and not a technique. WILD is the transfer of waking-life self-awareness from wake to sleep/dream without any loss of that awareness. How you achieve that transfer is where techniques come into play, as they would be the various methods used to achieve a WILD. SSILD would indeed be one of those methods (and not a bad one, either, though very similar to "classic" WILD techniques).

So it seems you may be asking about what the difference is between attempting a WILD and attempting a WILD.

I know this sounds like a semantics argument, but it is not. WILD is a state of mind, not a technique, and to call it a technique can have a tendancy to diminish the meaning of WILD for you, which in turn might make experiencing a WILD less likely -- SSILD or not.

Oh, and SP is not a thing that must be gotten to in any WILD attempt; try to avoid that trap.
