Hi Kate. Welcome to DreamViews. You seem to know a fair bit, but talking to the people here might help you out a lot. It surely has for me. Feel free to join the Chat for live discussion, or ask about anything on the forum. I'm a little curious on what you call the "Noseplug technique"? Sounds interesting. Also, look in the forum called "Beyond Dreaming" if you are interested in more than just LDing. Anyway, i hope you enjoy your time here. Good luck!
