I think I have another FA, do the nose RC, find I'm still dreaming, and have a hard time believing it - I keep thinking I just must not be pinching my nose hard enough, and that's why I can breathe. It's amazing the rationalizations your mind comes up with. I pinch it HARD, as best I can, can STILL breathe, and finally believe it again.
I know what you mean! It's a good sign, though. It keeps your thoughts straight.

That sounds like a super good lucid dream! It's one you should be very proud of! Keep 'em coming!
