Uh sorry, i somehow missed a few words(Might have been sleepy or something), i meant to say "WILD is not about not moving or not swallowing".
Just don't worry about moving or swallowing and fall asleep like you usually do, but while keeping awareness.

Ah right, although it doesn't effect your dreaming as in have an influence on what you dream about or how often you lucid dream ? I presume you mean it doesn't effect how often you lucid dream and do realitys checks ect..

Oh! ok that makes more sense now lol. So even if i swallow while keeping awareness i can still WILD ? Ive been told otherwise, as swallowing is like a roll-over signal and if you do what you brain wants you do to which is swallow then it sends a signal to the brain telling it your still awake and therefore wont be put into sleep paralysis . Moving isnt a problem for me so all is good there

Yes, you can swallow all you want, focusing on not swallowing will only make it harder to fall asleep. Also, sleep paralysis is not a part of WILD or lucid dreaming in general either, it's a sleep disorder and it's not possible to induce it, there's alot of misconception about it and WILD, read this thread, it explains nicely: http://www.dreamviews.com/wake-initi...mystified.html
