The repatative positive mnemonic gesture works to set the subconscious mind to attach to a thread of conscious thought.
This works best when your latest thoughts before sleep/WILD are used.
I found this very useful at WBTB (Wake Back To Bed) techniques.
Even when attempting WILDs, you go to a form of transitory sleep and therefore use this same tool.
If you were thinking of purple snakes when entering this phase it would probably be useless, except for a silly dream (it had no direction).
If you were thinking of specifics relating to a dream, for eg, "I will arrive at my doorstep and will attempt to hover", or "I will arrive at my doorstep and realise I am dreaming and hover", it will be much more beneficial.
Also, the repatativeness works the same as it did at school (hopefully not as boring).
Trick with repatative thoughts (in WILDs) is to keep awake.

Paralysis seems to happen all of a sudden to me, as you fall into semi-sleep, but seem to awaken in limbo by this sudden shock.
Every time I have hit SP was not by consciously waiting with baited breath, but hovering between sleep and awake, and luckily catching SP.
Its and Art, not a Science almost. But as an artist paints more and more, he/she becomes better and better.

Hope this helps.
