I am so mad/excited right now, because I just remembered that last night when I was dreaming I did a reality check. I said, "Am I dreaming?" and then pinched my nose shut to see if I could still breath (the same thing I did about thirty times during the day). I'm so excited that it worked its way into my dreams, but when I did the RC in my dream I remember being able to breath through it and thinking, "Why can't I pinch my nose tight? If I keep doing this then when I'm dreaming I won't be able to realize that I'm dreaming!" But I was dreaming - I just thought that the entire time it was strange that in "real life" I wasn't able to pinch my nose close enough to stop my breathing!

How do I go about fixing this conundrum? I obviously do RC's enough during the day to bring it into my dreams, but even when I do a RC in my dream I'm still not aware that I'm dreaming.

Is there a fool-proof reality check that I should do instead?

Or will my subconcious mind eventually "get it"?
