I've never successfully WILDed before but I have a few things to say

1. I've never tried that but I think it's best to close your eyes because I think it's too much trouble to keep your eyes open while relaxing.
2. I believe the sensations are different for everyone. For me, there are hands all over me, touching me everywhere which is really creepy. I always wake myself up because it felt so real. There's also tingling sensations, you can't feel anything and your body is heavy.
3. I've read various things on this one. One is just don't think at all, especially not thinking about WILD, don't think about if you're on your way to a lucid dream or not. Another is just to focus on your breathing. Another is to imagine yourself and surrounding with vivid details (clothes, hair, sound, smell, etc.) walking up a stair and you can count the steps too.
4. From what I read, it's really whatever you want to dream about. You may even be in your own bedroom not knowing that you're dreaming! It can also be just completely pitch black but only because you didn't open your dream eyes.
I hope this help a bit! I know it's said a lot, but don't be scared of sleep paralysis but it can be your worst nightmare so when that moment comes, just tell yourself that it's a dream. Don't try to get up or your effort goes to waste.

1. When you are trying to WILD, can you lay there with your eyes open?
A: Most likely not, you are trying to fall asleep, your eyes would get dry and you'd not be able to focus!

2. What does the sensation feel like when sleep paralysis comes on?
A: Different for everybody. Some people report hypnogogia, images, sounds and hallucinations. I just get a weird 'rush' throughout my body, my ears pop and I feel... weird and tingly.

3. What should you think about when trying to WILD?
A: Nothing, let your mind relax. If thoughts pop into your head, just let them enter and go, without focusing on them. I find it good to count to ten, over and over, in a rhythm while picturing the numbers fading in and out. There are different techniques which require you to think of different things. Try reading some of the tutorials on here.

4. When you're in a WILD - what does it look/feel like?
A: Again, different for everyone. Which bit do you mean? It looks like the blackness of your eyelids, until your dream forms. It feels like you are relaxed and your body is numb / heavy / floaty until you get SP, and then my body tingles and vibrates from head to toe. I also feel and insane amount of pressure in my head. This a hard question really because there are so many different reports.

I mean when you have left your body and what not. Is it really vivid?

So after WILDing, once you transition into a dream? It can be like a regular dream, but knowing you are dreaming, all the way up to being more real then real life! It totally varies.
