      Hogwarts House Challenge


      Hogwarts House Challenge!


      I have always been deeply interested in the Harry Potter stories and I never really made the connection with Lucid Dreaming until now. Ever since Harry Potter peaked my interest I have always longed for a MMORPG type of game. A game where I could take part in the Wizard universe and experience it first hand. Unfortunately, there is no such game at the moment.

      The other day I was having a Lucid Dream, when I stumbled across the Sorting Hat. I cheekily put the thing on my head where it whispered Slytherin into my ear. After that it dawned on me, I could use my Lucid Dreams as a way of indulging into my Harry Potter fantasies!
      I have devised a little challenge for myself to learn some of the basics spells, charms and potions from the books. Maybe even fly a broom or two!
      Now this is a personal goal for me but I feel like I should share these ideas with you, just in case anyone is interested.

      The goal is to complete a set of tasks and earn points for your house!

      Get Sorted!


      First thing to do is to get sorted into a house. The four houses in Hogwarts consist of Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw and Slytherin. First year students are arranged into these houses by wearing the Sorting Hat.


      Find the Sorting Hat in your next Lucid Dream and find out what house you are destined to be in. Afterwards post an extract of your dream journal here as evidence of your progress. Please be honest as possible! Whatever the Sorting Hat tells you is FINAL. You cannot swap houses

      House Challenges


      Once you know which house you belong to you can then proceed to the house challenge! The set of tasks vary depending on which House you are in. Please only complete the challenges within your own house!
      Once you have completed the task in your Lucid Dream post an extract of your Dream Journal here on this thread as evidence and I will then add points to the appropriate house! You can complete the tasks more than once but they MUST be in separate dreams in order to count.

      You will also need to locate your wand.


      Universal Tasks
      - Triwizard Tournament (Must be completed in order to receive points)
      (1/3) - Fight a dragon and retrieve a golden egg
      (2/3) - Eat Gillyweed and swim to the bottom of a lake
      (3/3) - Navigate through a maze and retrieve the Triwizard Cup ( + 100 Points)
      - Wizard duel with Voldemort (+ 50 Points)
      - Ride a Hippogriff (+ 20 Points)
      - Visit Honeydukes and sample the special effects sweets (+ 15 Points)
      - Play a game of Quidditch against the current leading house. (Must complete 'Fly on a broomstick' first) (+ 15 Points)
      - Jump through platform 9 3/4 and catch the Hogwarts Express (+ 10 Points)
      - Fly on a broomstick (+ 7 Points)
      - Learn and perform Lumos (+ 5 Points)


      Gryffindor
      - Brew Polyjuice Potion and post your results (+ 10 Points)
      - Learn and perform Wingardium Leviosa (+ 10 Points)
      - Find and talk to Hagrid (+ 5 Points)

      Hufflepuff
      - Brew Ageing Potion and post your results (+ 10 Points)
      - Learn and perform Alohomora on a locked door (+ 10 Points)
      - Find and talk to Prof. Pomona Sprout (+ 5 Points)

      Ravenclaw
      - Brew Felix Felicis Potion and post your results (+ 10 Points)
      - Learn and perform Incendio (+ 10 Points)
      - Find and talk to Prof. Flitwick (+ 5 Points)

      Slytherin
      - Brew Veritaserum Potion and post your results (+ 10 Points)
      - Learn and perform Petrificus Totalus on a DC (+ 10 Points)
      - Find and talk to Prof. Snape (+ 5 Points)

      If you are unsure about any of the spells, check out - Harry Potter Wiki for help.


      House Points


      Gryffindor - 17 Points
      Naiya
      Slytherin - 5 Points
      mrdeano
      Ravenclaw - 5 Points
      Stubert
      Hufflepuff - 0 Points
      Mancon

      I am not expecting anyone to be interested in this AT ALL but if you have any suggestions on other tasks I could add to the challenge then please feel free to say. I will add them accordingly.

      GOOD LUCK AND LET THE BEST HOUSE WIN!

      I would try this if I could. But when ever I have Harry Potter related dreams and try to go Lucid, They always get aggressive with me and tell me I'm not welcomed here...

      I hope you do join in! Remember that your Lucid Dreams work heavily on expectation. So just expect that everything will be fine and it will

      Which house is your favourite?

      Unfortunately it looks like there isn't much interest. I guess there are not many Harry Potter fans on this forum xD
      Looking forward to see which house you are put in though.

      Dude I am DOWN! This is an awesome idea, and that HPMMORPG would be pretty epic too. I'm looking forward to some magic in my dreams!

      I guess Lucid Dreaming is the next best thing to a HPMMORPG =] I'm glad you are on board! Looking forward to your future posts!

      I am going to add a another task to spice things up! Fight a dragon and retrieve a golden egg

      I'll definetely try this. I've already found that one of the skills that is very easy for me to do in dreams is spells.

      Dream come truee

      I AM IN!

      I recently made the Lucidology timer work like a perfect DEILD alarm for me, but everytime I have lucid dreams I fail to stabilis them properly so I have to work on that...

      But when I can I will definitelly take the first train to Hogwarts and get this challenge started! In my heart I want to join Gryffindor But the spells seems much more fun in Slytherin ... Well some da erhm night I will get there and the sorting hat have to decide.

      Thank you everyone for joining in! I'm glad this is finally gaining momentum. I thought no one was interested.

      I just need to find a way to edit my post so I can add new tasks and tally up the points. Every time I try it says I have past the allotted time for editing

      Well I completely forgot about doing this in my lucid, but I did get sorted during a non-lucid. Do you think I should guys think I should count that?

      I think it should count =] After all, whatever the Sorting Hat says is final.

      This is a cool idea. I probably won't remember to do any of this stuff lol but getting sorted would be cool. I used lumos once in an LD to light up the room I was in, which worked fairly well, except it kept going out after a few seconds and I'd have to say it again, which was weird.

      Do that again once Sorted and it will be an easy 5 points for your house.

      When you say 'locate your wand'.. what does that mean? Does that mean we can't just materialize it?

      Remembered about this in a lucid last night, here's an extract from my written journal:

      " As I was flying I remembered that I was supposed to do some spells for something, I landed and shed my wings. Then I summoned a swirling purple portal to take me to somewhere that I could do them and went through. I was in pitch darkness and it felt very damp and cold; like I was in a cave underground. I reached into my pocket and pulled out a wand and cast lumos. The cave was huge so I could only see a small area of rock, I saw two fiery eyes getting bigger as something approached me untill they were so huge and bright that I couldn't see anything else, I heard a loud screech and woke up in a panic."

      It was very scary but at least I earned some points. Always creeps me out when something like that happens, almost like you can still hear it for a few seconds after you wake up.

      Also I don't think I actually said in my other post that in that non-lucid I was put in Ravenclaw.

      Fantastic!

      I'd like to formally introduce Stubert to the Ravenclaw family. And award him 5 points for successfully performing Lumos in the underground caves.


      House Points


      5 points to Ravenclaw! Pushing them into first place!

      Ravenclaw 5 Points

      Gryffindor 0 Points

      Hufflepuff 0 Points

      Slytherin 0 Points

      I've always wanted to do something like this. It just makes me happy thinking about it because that world seems amazing. I'll give this a try once I can lucid more frequently. What am I saying, im gonna lucid tonight
