Hey fellow dreamers...How many people say "how can I stop swallowing when I do a WILD"...well I shall hand over my technique..I have been using it for as long as I can remember and for me it's works brilliantly so I thought you may like to try it. It's not to do with relaxing, it's just a way to stop the swallow reflex operating as much as it usually would. When you lie down and get comfy close your mouth and just push your tongue forward a little so that it is against your bottom teeth, now all you have to do it suck your cheeks in, you will feel the suction on your tongue..now you can allow your jaw to relax a little but you will still feel some suction..that is ok you need to have that little suction there...now take the focus off your mouth or throat and just focus on your breathing or counting...you should notice that the swallow reflex is more dormant than usual and the urge to swallow is alot easier to resist...This is a great worker for me and I hope it helps you also..good luck
