Hey venusflesh, I've had this too. In fact, the only RC that works for me is the nose pinch test. My dreams can be so unbelievably vivid and realistic. My hands always look completely normal, right down to the 6 tiny wee prongs on my diamond engagement ring. It's insane how real my dreams are. They are so real that even when I do a RC in real life I can never ever be sure that I'm actually awake until I do the test. Pretty crazy huh?

I had a dream recently where I did the nose pinch test and could breathe but I just couldn't accept that it was a dream and every other test I did passed as if I was awake, eg I tried to put my arm through a wall but just felt a solid wall then I tried to fly but gravity was completely normal etc. If the nose pinch test ever stops working then I don't know what I'll do! Seriously!
