      Nose-plug RC

      This morning I tried a nose-plug RC in my dream and it failed. Despite of it, I realized I was dreaming. When I woke up, I had one nostril fully blocked and the other semi-blocked. I was maybe breathing through my mouth when sleeping. Is there any connection between common cold and failing in the nose-plug RC?

      There might be but I'm not sure. I think it could've when you did an RC because you intended to breathe through your nose and since it was clogged you couldn't breathe that well. But it could also be another thing as well. If you do reality checks a lot and are so used to you not being able to breathe, it can sometimes carry over into your dreams. To fix this you need to be aware while you do reality checks, be aware of what you're doing. If you keep in mind that you could breathe through your nose in a dream. Focus when you do it and it will go away.

      Hope this helps! Good luck!

      It could have had something to do with it, but the RC can still work in a dream even if your nose is blocked. Was your nose clogged or clear in the dream? Also you have to believe that the reality check will work while you are doing it. Don't just do it without thinking about it. You have to actually believe you will be able to breath through your nose. Even if it doesn't work, you should still look around and ask yourself if it is a dream. See if anything looks unusual. Anyway awesome job becoming lucid, and good luck with your next LD!
