So the last 3 nights I've ended up having really vivid and memorable dreams. On the first night I even had a false awakening.
In all of these dreams at some point or another I have plugged my nose to check if it was a dream, I've realised that I can still breathe and that it is a dream, but my dream self every single time has kinda just gone: "Huh, I'm dreaming, thats cool" and the dream has just carried on as normal.

So frustrating but then again it is probably the closest I have come so far.
