I remember when I first started doing lucid dreaming I read a tip which worked. It involved putting my hand behind my back and bringing it back holding 1-2-3 fingers up, then putting it behind my back again and bringing it out without having changed how many fingers I was holding up. This will not work in the dream world, for whatever reason nothing repeats exactly in dream world, even simple things won't repeat, so when you bring your hand out to confirm how many finger you were holding up at first, when you do it won't be what you had before, usually fingers will look merged or deformed. This works with other things, turning on and off light switches during the day will give you the cue that it's a dream when you try it in your dream and it doesn't operate the lights like that, same for looking at clocks, looking away and looking back to see if it is like you remembered it, in a dream it will be different every time you look at it again, and you will remember what it was the first time which will cue you to it being a dream, so don't freak out and wake up, just play around.

yeah gotcha. dream cues can be inconsistent. I usually perform DEILD, which i find a lot easier by going through the sleep paralysis/vibrational stage.
