Don't focus on it. Swallow and move on. I got pretty close to SP when I did that

Swallowing is natural and I'm sure that you do it in your sleep. However, you can't move or open your eyes. Just get in a comfy position and relax

You aren't the first person to have this problem, or the first to post this topic

Yea this is probably the best thing you can do.

What I do is brush all of the saliva off of the roof of my mouth and to the front, then hold my tongue on the top. It'll stop your urge to swallow for quite a while.

Still though, shouldn't mess up a thing if you just swallow. It'll probably be taking from your concentration, anyways.

Yeah but when i swallow i have the feeling that im in the same point as i started but i hope its just a feeling

Its a natural thing, do it when you feel like you have to. It shouldn't bother at all your progress, besides the legs are the first ones to go numb then the torso and finally your head, by then it should stop by itself.

Yeah, just try not to focus on swallowing but your counting or your visualisation or whatever else. If you feel the need to swallow then do it, try not to think about it and don't force it. Just do it naturally as you do swallow in your sleep every now and then anyway.

I find when my head is facing the ceiling and I need to swallow then it is uncomfortable and unnatural so I lay on my side which seems to help, you can also just keep your mouth a bit open and let all the saliva just dribble out if you don't mind, however, I would find this highly distracting and annoying.

Some others try putting a towel or something under their head whilst laying on their back which I think makes the saliva just naturally go back down your throat.

Don''t worry about. Thinking about not swallowing is worse than swallowing itself. Also, change your view on swallowing. Don't think of it as an anti-WILD thing. Just think of it as a natural occurance that doens't affect your chances of WILDing.
