Well, I would suggest not using WILD as a first technique. If you’re not keeping a dream journal, you should start one. It helps you remember your dreams, and you can read back through and look for common themes in your dreams to help you recognize them.
You can also use MILD to repeat a simple phrase such as “I will be lucid” a few times before you go to bed. Personally, I’d suggest no more than five, as long as you put meaning into those few repititions.
I would also suggest using the WBTB method and wake up (if possible) 4 1/2 to 6 hours after you go to sleep. It’s helpful if you write down any dreams that you remember from the first part of the night. You can also spend a few minutes reading about LDs, and maybe you can repeat another MILD phrase a few times before going back to sleep.
However, aside from what I tell most people new to LDs who want to try WILD right away, I’ll answer your question as well. I personally enjoy SP, but it’s different for everyone. A lot of people get HH, sights and sounds while you’re still falling asleep. I don’t for the most part. Another thing to remember is that you go into sleep paralysis every night whether or not you’re conscious of it. It’s to keep yourself from acting out your dreams IRL.
The reason I put other suggestions first is because WILD is a difficult technique. It is not recommended for those who are just beginning, and it requires a lot of practice. Though it might seem easy, it’s really not. I find it much easier to use other methods such as MILD and WBTB, and they’re just as effective (if maybe not more, due to the difference in difficulty).
Any way you decide to go about your LD practice, I wish you luck!
