This caused me to do a nose reality check, but when I did it, I still couldn't breathe through my nose. Why didn't this work and has this ever happened to you?
Hey man, This is probably for one of two reasons in my opinion.

One, you weren't lucid and just dreamed using a reality check and it didn't work in the dream.

Two, I've had this happen before, where my reality checks don't work but I'm most certainly lucid and I'm not sure exactly what the logic is behind it(Like most in-dream problems), but I believe it's something to do with body distortion and just a lack of dream control.

After the reality check didn't work, what happened? Did you wake up, carry on being lucid?
