OK all my lucids have been DILD's and I really really want to WILD but I feel as though I need more information then I'm finding on here. Every once in awhile I find a post that gives me another piece of the puzzle as to what I should be doing.
so here are my questions and I would super duperly appreciate some good answers
1.) I'm lieing in bed and want to induce SP. What are some basic ways to keep my mind aware. I have tried counting and focusing on breathing but I always lose conciousness. Any tips or methods that you use to help?
2.)I'm in SP. What do I do now? One person said that when you enter SP you should sit up in bed and you are probably in a dream. What if I'm not in a dream? Then my efforts have been wasted!

A couple general knowledge Q's
-Is WBTB necessary for JUST sleep paralysis?
-Is it ok to swallow?
-Do I have to make my inner voice shut up?

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated
