I never read anywhere that you cannot swallow, but just that you should try not to move and should ignore the sensations that tell you you have to roll over, etc. If you do give in you will tell your body that you are awake and no sleep paralysis will be induced. By that logic, swallowing would be moving which would tell your body that you are awake. The reason that I am in doubt is that swallowing is something that happens automatically as well (to my knowledge), so your body may think nosthing of it. Hence the question.
That's the thing. Swallowing also occurs automatically, but it's not the same as intentionally forcing yourself to swallow... i'm sure it affects the attempt of WILD just like other movements. It might take a while, but you can learn to keep yourself from doing it completely while doing WILD.
