For a Newb like me there is so much misinformation out there for me to attempt WILDing.

Ive noticed two things when people talk about the WILD technique.

You do not have to enter sleep paralysis to WILD
- I thought thats the main focus of WILD, is to trick your body into sleep paralysis so you can consciously dream?

You want to be falling asleep attempting to WILD
- If you want to fall asleep, then wouldnt that be pointless? I understand that you need to be very relaxed and focused to enter SP but wouldnt actually trying to fall asleep be to risky? Dont you just want to stay still until you enter SP?
