And my friend. Good, sensible friend. "If I was holding my nose and trying to breath, wouldn't my mouth open?" Way to jinx it, huh? xD[/b]
I've had problems with the nose reality check too, in some dreams I was somehow unable to pinch my nose properly. However, I think I know the solution. Instead of thinking that if you can breathe through your nose when it's pinched, you're dreaming, think that if you can't stop yourself from breathing through your nose by pinching it shut, you're dreaming. That way, if for some reason you can't pinch your nose shut, you realize that this is also a sign that you're dreaming.
