It seems that we are arguing the same points over and over. I don't really see this going anywhere.

Just to reiterate, since thor seems to keep ignoring the fact that:

1) You can experience sleep paralysis outside of REM sleep
2) You can remain conscious during REM sleep
3) You can actively seek sleep paralysis.

What, exactly do you think WILD is, thor? It is maintaining consciousness through all hypnagogia, into a dream. This makes moot all studies that try to pin down when sleep paralysis does and not happen. You can make it happen. If you focus on your body during a WILD, you will be aware of the changes in your body. If you move your focus away from your body during WILD, you can avoid being aware of these changes.

Maybe you should sum up your write-up by saying people can chose to use SP as a tool during WILD if they find it helpful, or can chose to avoid it if they find it unpleasant.
