I say spinning is bad. I tried that and my LD went out the window though I knew it was a dream and was quite firm on that belief even while spinning. When the scenery changed, I forogt everything about my moment of lucidity or even the previous dream. That really sucked.

As for your hand rubbing technique, I'd have to say it's ingenious. Never tried it before but I'll surely try it tonight, sounds like it'd work real good when you're slipping out of lucidity.
