I checked out CrazyInSane's CANWILD tutorial, (thanks Walms) and it looks legit. It basically reduces the relaxation phase to one minute, instead of half an hour, because your body is already asleep.

I think, if anything, I will be more excited if I try to do MILDs first, because then I'll be confident I can do it and even more excited about starting the WILD, ironically increasing the time it takes.

I now have a few n00b questions:
Also, after your body experiences the first tremors, is it in sleep paralysis?
If so, then why can I instantly move my arms to scratch an itch, etc?
How long after entry into sleep paralysis does it take to enter a lucid dream (transition)?
How will I know I'm ready at any time to enter the dream?
How do I enter?

Thanks!
