Would this dream sign be okay?

Since I'm going to have to start doing reality checks throughout the day. I was thinking that I'd draw a # sign in the palm of my right hand. This way I can look at it through out the day and hopefully it'll appear strangely in my dreams. I'll just have to train myself to realize if the sign is different or altered then I'm dreaming. What other signs could I do considering the fact that I'm in school for 7 hours 5 days a week?

What you're talking about isn't a dream sign it's a reality check.

Dream signs are things that tend to show up a lot in your dreams. You discover them by keeping a dream journal, and after some time You'll start to notice certain things that show up a lot in your dreams.

If you are going to attempt a DILD then I recommend you try out some other methods as well as the sign method.
I would say it is vital to keep a dream journal, because this means that you can remember your dreams better, improve your recall.
I recommend being aware during the day, and only doing reality checks when something strange happens, this will then carry over into the dream because the awareness means that you will more likely realise that something is weird, and the reality checks will then kick in because of that strange occurance.
