You know what I mean - the way you can close your nasal passage off near the esophagus (or there's also a way to do it higher up inside, if you're breathing in sharply enough - if you let it make some sound you can tell the difference between the two).

I thought it might be a good idea to use this method since it can be done without moving - good for those DEILD attempts. Plus you can do it in public without looking like some kind of freak with a coke habit.

But then it suddenly occurs to me - is it possible to make yourself actually do it when you're dreaming? I mean, would it fail as an RC because you can actually close off your inner nasal passages? I'm not sure if your head is paralyzed in REM atonia or not, since the eyes can move and people say they can turn their heads if they try. I'd hate to get myself in the habit of doing this and it turns out to be a total fail RC!!

Surely somebody out there does this or has done it - let's hear about how well it works.
