CANWILD is legit. I wouldn't worry about SP being mentioned. In this case, it's a matter of semantics. It works like DEILD, except you use an alarm to wake up, and then immediately do a WILD.

Will tiring yourself out, increase your chances of entering sleep paralysis, like staying up for 2 days straight?

You can get REM rebound, if you are sleep deprived. But there is a limit on how long of a sleep deprivation gives you REM rebound. Beyond that, you will be thrown into deep sleep, which is probably more important to the body then REM is.

One night, I had only 4 hrs of sleep. Following night, I got some HH and feelling I could be going into WILD just seconds after my head hit the pillow. Then next time, when I had same 4-5 hrs of sleep only, that didn't give me REM rebound on following night.

So there may not be any fast rules about this. It may depend on more factors. But i'm no expert at this. All I can tell you, that not sleeping for 2 days is not the best way to try for a LD.

And SP is not part of lucid dreaming. If you not prone to them, you will not get them any more often when LDing then you normally would.

That's interesting! A week or so ago I was so tired that I experienced wild bursts of images as soon as my head hit the pillow, sounds very similar. But I think I then just sank into long, deep sleep. Hmm, wait, either on that night or on another, I did experience "WILD noise" (strong rocking / waves sensation) almost immediately.

And when I had a very high fever a few months ago I didn't remember any dreams but one short burst of super-fast images/ideas/thoughts that went by so fast I couldn't make any sense out of it.

Sometimes I get that around 5 pm, when I'm dozing off while watching TV. That's about 8 hrs after waking up in the morning. But not always. I guess, we should be experimenting with all kinds of things at different times. Not get discouraged, if something works once, but it doesn't work again, or not always. Just understand, that that's the nature of the game. Appreciate every gift we get.
