Swallowing Reflex

[Johnny87]

So for some reason i cant avoid doing this while lying still doing wild or just relaxing in general. Usually i can get everything else, start feeling kinda light while keeping still etc, then i have to do this and i can feel it break what i had going. Some people have said to lay on my back, but even then it doesnt seem to help any and i know people wild on their side and on their stomachs. So how do you avoid doing this, because nearly everytime i end up doing the reflex and messing up 10 min or so wild attempts.

It's not that you shouldn;t swallow in SP, as you swallow when your dreaming, just try and not think about it when you swallow, it doesn reset your 'internal timer'.

McLoone is exactly right. Making small movements shouldn't interrupt your WILD attempts. You also make small movements while you're sleeping, so as long as you don't give these movements much conscious attention you should be fine. When I allow the swallow reflex I WILD just fine.

Honestly thinking about not swallowing when you have to is 10x more distracting. Its "natural", like the above posters have said swallowing and minor movements are extremely common during sleep, I can often scratch my noise if its bothering me and not come out of sp. The arm i use will come out of sp, but generally doesnt take more then 15-30 secs to fall back in unless I really work out the movement in my mind. If you sit there with an itch, or having to swallow because you have a dry throat, trying with all your might not to do whats naturally coming you'll get way more worked up . Do what you gotta do, nothing more, nothing less.
