Hello Dreamviews Community!

So I've always been interested in lucid dreaming, but lately I've had a real interest in it after a friend told me about a trick to help myself realize I'm in a dream by writing a 'C' on the palm of hand. The C stands for consciousness, and the idea is that whenever I remember its there during the day, I'll look at it (I guess you guys call something like this an 'RC').

I've tried other techniques in the past, but I've never had results this fast. Within two days I was already reaching lucidity. But here's where the problems come in. I either have a very, very convincing false awakening (down to the point where the C is still on my hand, and my clock is the correct time and it's the correct time of the day for me to wake up) or if I'm already in a dream going on and I have achieved lucidity, I immediately get ripped out of it and end up in my room where everything is spinning out of control. No amount of handchecking or nose pinching solves the problem when this happens. Eventually the chaos is enough to freak me out and I wake up.

To counteract the false awakenings, I've devised this:

It's on my wall, and it's basically a reality check that I'm trying to program into my room so that if I do have a F.A, It'll actually prompt me to actively check if it is. The question mark is obviously "am I dreaming?", the N is nose pinch, the L is light check, the C is clock check, and the DS is dream spin (because I want to get the hell out of my room for once). Also, I figured that this is something that even when I'm not in my room, I can draw it out on a piece of paper while at college or something. Problem is, this doesn't solve the spinning problem

Any ideas?
