Hi :)... Trouble getting sleep paralysis

[Hmonchunski]

Hi there, firstly I'd like to say how much I appreciate this site and I'm grateful for discovering lucid dreaming. I've been trying to LD for about two weeks now, and I have a couple of problems/questions. First, no matter how long I try, I CANNOT feel the sleep paralysis vibration feelings. I realize how some people won't feel them at all, but I don't even get the "shift" or whatever you call it. At any point in my attempt, I feel as if I can just get up normally as if nothing happened. I think it might be that I'm too awake, but I'm not sure. Another thing i'm wondering is that I'm supposed to stay completely still while WILDing, right? But does swallowing saliva actually affect anything, does it tell my mind that I'm not sleeping? Hopefully you guys will have some advice for me, my main concern is that I don't feel sleep paralysis, I tried for TWO HOURS last night lol. I'd appreciate any help at all, thanks.
