I’ve been trying to stay awake through SP a number of times. The last 2 times (last night, at 6 PM today) I fully felt sleep paralysis, but alas, I fell asleep. I tried to use “1 I’m dreaming, 2 I’m dreaming…” but it didnt last me long. If I focus my vision I clearly see green, blue and sometimes yellow light swirls( I know, HI) but it’s replaced by blackness and I wake up slightly irritated.
If you really want to do WILD, try doing it combined with WBTB.
and there is one tech that i found great it is when you imagine objects(or just colours, which you find easier) in this order red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple and again and again slowly… i believe it is a practise for your inner eye…
anyway it gave me some reall vivid NDs!
good luck
the very same thing happens to me…but with WILD
