Hi I'm new to LD but i kinda tried half-heartedly a few months ago. I'm really trying to get committed now, I have a dream Diary and stuff but ive only started trying to LD again in the past week. Anyway i've been trying to use the WILD method as well as the MILD method. Neither has worked for me so far. But i'm mainly concerned about the WILD technique. While doing this i often have the need to swallow, (I read the top post so i no know how to counter that but have not yet put it to the test) but it is not necessarily a urge to swallow. It's not the saliva that is the problem. I just have a very powerful urge to use those muscles in a sort of swallowing action, but never have the need to actually swallow the saliva. It is defiantly a problem because i can put it off for about twenty seconds but the urge becomes so strong... its very hard to stop :/ also I often become close (at least it feels close) to allowing my body to fall asleep (still using WILD) and i feel a "wave" and this wave makes me feel as if im spinning. I try to hold on to it and embrace it, but it only lasts for a matter of seconds and then it just leaves. This feeling can happen up to 15 times and they can be very close together. I never actually drift into a conscious/dreaming state.
Any help with this topic would be greatly appreciated
thank you very much
