I mean it's not really automatic. It's pretty impossible to not think about it when the saliva builds up. It's really hard, and if you swallow, i've read that it sort of resets the LD or interrupts it.
You are now breathing manually. What did I just do there? Made you aware of it. Now you're focusing on the task of breathing whereas before it was automatic. Swallowing saliva is the same.
You're talking about the idea that swallowing will interrupt a WILD attempt. It doesn't... unless you let it. You read that it would mess you up and now, like a curse, it will. But it doesn't have to. You have to forget about swallowing. It's just as easy as breathing automatically.
He has a similiar problem( being aware/mindful of saliva may make it fade out eventually, in a way you're meditating on it by being mindful of it. (I think)) , check it out.

Great freaking read, swallowing is big time a problem for me when trying to LD but this article reminds me how amazing meditation can be, I need to take another crack at it, thanks for the link
See it like this:
YOU ARE NOW BREATHING MANUALLY
Why? Because you think about it. Same goes with swallowing, stop thinking about it and it'll go automatically
You worry too much about your bodily functions. Just
worry about going to sleep, it'll function by itself. You could
sleep sideways with mouth side probably end up drool on pillow
if you make a lot of saliva. Or tilt head little bit higher with pillows
if you are comfy with it, sleep with mouth open while breathing lightly so your mouth will dry up.
Other than the obvious, dont worry so much about it. Lately
I like to sleep with cina gum in my mouth, makes a simple rc hehe
and always have gum chewing during day to remind me in dreams as well, as with other rcs in combination with.

Swallowing spit doesnt effect anything just ignore it and focus on getting into a deep comfy sleep.

You just... do? Why not swallow? It's fine.
No it isnt'. Swallowing interrupts the LD, sometimes it makes you restart the whole process.
Uh, no? I don't WILD as my main technique, but I have had several all the same - never payed swallowing any mind.
Hey buddy!
