Can you trick your mind for the WBTB method?

I'm curious as to if you can"trick" your mind with the WBTB. Say you enter sleep paralysis for a an hour or more, but your eyes remain open(I have problems opening them when trying the WILD) and then you get up for say a half hour and actually go to bed like you would normally. So is this method of WBTB possible or do you have to wait longer?

By the way, I nearly had a lucid dream this morning, but it got intense and I was just waking up. When will it happen?!!!!!!!!! So close a few times this past week!

I could be wrong I'm kinda a newbie but I don't think you have to do anything with SP in WBTB. unless when you are going back to bed you are trying to WILD. For WBTB you go to bed and set an alarm for 4.5 or 6 hours after you fall asleep. This is so you might wake up after a REM period. you should get out of bed for 20-60 minutes while doing things involving lucid dreaming like going on here or just thinking about it. then get back in bed and let yourself fall asleep again and try to keep lucidity on your mind as you fall asleep. I read on another forum that a good thing to do is think of something you are very familiar of the feeling of. (ex. clapping, swimming) as you are falling asleep after being up. the hope is that this is how your dream will start and will hint you are dreaming.
