Ok, I know there are a lot of threads about swallowing while your trying to get a WILD. Some say you can't do it at all and ones that say you can, mostly ones where you cannot.

I'm failing to understand why we apparently aren't allowed to swallow when attempting a WILD, most people who give a reason say that it is one of the ways of our body testing whether we are awake or not, yet we do swallow when we are sleeping normally, albeit not as often.

I can understand that you shouldn't swallow if you have to put lots of conscous effort into it and you make a big gulp but otherwise it seems fine to me.

What are your thoughts on this?
