Dream Awakening

I don't know if this is the same thing as a false awakening, but last night I randomly started the first Lucid Dream I have had in half a year but it ended when I woke up within my dream and thought that I was awake. Anyway to remedy this?

Reality Checks. If you're good at performing them every morning when you wake up, then if you have a false awakening in a dream you should perform an RC. That way you'll realise you're still dreaming and can get back to it.

I've attempted Reality checks many times but I never have brought them into my dreams, what is an accurate reality check that you would suggest?

Memory. If you can't remember the last two hours or how you got to a certain place then you must be dreaming. That is the best reality check for me. For false awakening, that doesn't work since the last two hours you were asleep. Try looking at a clock and analyze the time. I often see times like 8:99, which isn't a real time or 10:05, which is unrealistic that I'd be waking up. Also where you are, lots of times I "wake up" in the wrong place. Maybe I'm at school and I wake up in my dad's house or I'm at a girlfriends and wake up in my bed.
