I know the basic idea behind this but how do you get into the mind set? like say i was to pinch my nose and check if i can breathe would i just do that every hour during the day, and hopefully it follows into my dreams?

Whats the other basic check you can do during the day which are easy and very effective, how often would you do the checks etc?

Like last night i dreamed i was singing a Sclub7 song whilst riding on a water slide, lol surely i would have known that was a dream right? But it never crossed my mind i could have been a elephant with 10 legs and i wouldnt butt a eyelid!
