I once had the nose rc fail for me in a terrifyingly nightmarish FA, which was odd, since i had used the nose RC to become lucid in the dream preceding the FA. in the FA, I followed it with a finger-through-the-palm, and that one succeeded. One of my DC tormentors actually congratulated me on succeeding. (but was still menacing. wtf)
It is possible that your mind simply remembers all the time you were unable to breathe, and supplies that reality in your dream, or it is also possible that for some reason (mucous build-up, smothering yourself in your pillow) you were unable to breath in reality.
Still, i wouldn't give up on the nose RC, not because it is a superior technique or anything, but simply because one more RC can only aid in attaining lucidity.
