It may be a good dreamsign, but not a RC. Whenever you wake up without earplugs do a good RC by looking at a digital clock multiple times. |

When i attempt LD i now use earplugs to aid in concentration and to focus on my breathing. In the process i now use it as a Reality Check, when i enter a LD usually in the form of a False awakening i get out of my bed and the earplugs are no longer in my ears so i instantly realise im dreaming. |

The earplugs i use dont fall out during the night because they are made especially for sleeping as not to cause discomfort. |

What kind of earplugs do u use? I tried sponge ones but it never did the trick. Anyway, I never had an LD yet (crossing fingers for tonight), but Im rehearsing my RCs during day, usually the hand checks, some the light switch ones too. |

hrm, i use a pair of Shure E4's, with tri-flange sleeves. They won't fall out unless you pull them out, the foam sleeves are pretty comfy too, but the tri-flange are easier to clean. |

Just keep moving…
Personally I disagree with that. If, everytime you wake up, you check for the earplugs in your ears, then it's RCing. A dreamsign is a recurring impossible thing that happens when you dream, and something you use as a cue to say I am Lucid. For example, one of my dreamsigns I think is the quick changing of day to night/night changing to day (instant, or at least way faster than it should happen). This isn't something I actively check for though. My RCs are the nose and finger through hand RCs (and i add in a couple others depending on the situation (if there's a clock i look at it, etc.). I actively do them when I am suspicious I'm dreaming. This is what you are doing with the earplugs when you wake up; checking that they are there actively. So it's an RC. The earplugs missing may be a dreamsign, but the active check to see if they are there is a not totally conclusive Reality Check. |

Firstly thx for all the tips they came in very handy, i agree that its not a definate RC as i explained further up the topic that is why i was asking the question has anyone who uses earplugs ever had a lucid dream where the earplugs were still in your ears? |
