trying to lucid dream.....saliva?

okay so i've been trying to lucid dream for a while now guys. don't necessarily think i've lucid dreamed before and the WILD (the one where you wake up early and gpo back to sleep after 30 mins or so) isn't working, because i cant awake (lol). I think i've had plenty of lucid dreames but when i take peoples advice and try ignore everything around you and try not to think, i produce alot of saliva, how can i stop this? I'm not joking, i know it sounds silly but it's kind of annoying. I sometimes get itches etc. but those aren't much of a concern to me. If anyone could help me out i'd appreciate it, thanks!

Someone told me once, first of all DO NOT even think about the saliva, like it isn't there. If that doesn't work, try to sleep on your side, with your head slightly tilted and your mouth opened so that you drool, I know it sounds kinda gross, but it works.
