After the 20 minutes I lay down in a comfortable posistion, it does not have to be on back. I then relax and focus on lucid dreaming and I try to tell myself that I will most likely succed and if I don't it will be even easyer the next night. I focus on this and relax until i either enter a dream or dont. Stressing to much on it and worrying about weather it will work or not and trying not to swallow spit will only delay you and wont help you relax. I dont think swallowing spit matters, all that matters is being relaxed and to the point of lucid dreaming.

I learned all this by practicing it alot until i realized what was working against me.
I like your little WILD routine a lot I think I may give it a shot tonight

I also have to swallow sometimes during a WILD attempt but I figured it wasn't too detrimental considering it does not keep me awake when normally going to sleep. I have 0 WILD experience though so I can't say...
