> The one I found worked best for me was blocking both nostrils and trying to inhale through my nose. If you're dreaming, this will still work. If you're awake, you obviously won't be able to breathe. Learned and practiced exactly this about 6-8 years ago. A little strange to observe, and a definite sign one's dreaming! No need for any interpretation like "clear sequence of events". Your nose is fully blocked yet you can breathe through. Dreaming! This is interesting also as I felt it like a schism in body image. When dreaming, body representation is the dreamed one, separated from the actually perceptible body. Only airway (as "does air flow normally") does not have this separation, allowing you to block your dreamed nose and continue to dream peacefully because actual airway is not blocked.
