When you’re on the verge of SP/WILD and you’re lying still, you all know how you lose feeling in your body. I was wondering though if swallowing (excess saliva/dry throat) interferes with this and prolongs it. Anyone have any ideas?
hmm…i think that when we are very close to sleeping, we don’t notice things like swallowing. The body seems to control that by itself, we don’t usually think consciously that we swallow? I can’t remember thinking about that while falling asleep. 
for me, wild only works if i am very sleepy. It is often said that it is easiest to do in the morning or in a nap
In my opinion, swallowing could interfere if you consciously decide “My throats dry” and swallow.
Every time that i have tried WILD and conciously thought “arrg, i need to swallow”… which i eventually do, i always just end up rolling over and going to sleep. But as Siiw said, when your really tired or in the right frame of mind it usually isnt a problem.
Yeah your body ends up taking care of those things by itself. I noticed that when I start to get HI and SP that I get random itches. I used to try really hard to ignore them, but I realized that when you completely relax your body and forget about your earthly body, although things are still happening (i.e. dry throat, itches, uncomfortable position) you don’t notice or care about them. Try to imagine you’re just inside your head and relax and forget everything physical about yourself.
