It's of no use as an RC if it wakes me up.

yeah, but it never tells you that you aren't dreaming when you are dreaming ^^

and yeah thanks tdsand, cool mnemonic ^^

I think a good sign that you are dreaming is when you are emotionally strongly upset. I can't recall any dream where that wasn't the case, no matter what kind of emotion it is. If you count to 10 to calm you down when upset, maybe adding an RC would be helpful.
