It's actually not necessary to seek out or even notice any kind of sleep paralysis or REM atonia (<< PC term, since SP is actually a separate medical condition), when WILD transitioning. In all the WILDs I've ever had, I experience all kinds of weird stuff, but anything even remotely related to paralysis has only happened maybe 3-4 times tops. I got some great threads for you to check out on all that:

Next question from bottom to top, yes I think FILD is not a bad method at all. I personally haven't researched it a lot, but I have heard of several members having luck with it. And because, like you said, there are no side effects, there's nothing wrong with experimenting with it and seeing where it goes. It's all just about retaining as much awareness as possible while falling asleep, in hopes that you'll enter a lucid seamlessly (WILD), or if somehow the finger movements will carry over into a nonlucid and spark your awareness (DILD).

Finally your last question about blocking something from happening in a dream. Are you talking about dream control in a lucid, or preventing nightmares in nonlucids?
Dont need to answer the last one now, but thank you.

And also thank you Canis, cant figure out how to quote two posts. .-. Anyways, I am sorry I asked all these questions. These are all just the things that being new to Lucid Dreaming can do to you,
