Thread: Challenges To All For The Dream Realm

Whether you initially believe these challenges are attainable or not, try them with the intent of using them to your advantage based on your own interests in waking life (and dream life) and see what happens.

Some items may require advanced skills, but these skills are easily obtained with patience, and discipline. All should engage your inner creativity.

1. Determine a form for yourself, design every aspect of it and write it down. Be imaginative. Will you be a white shadow wolf made only of light? What color eyes? What powers and abilities? Once you have intricately designed this form for yourself, transform into it and direct your intent to the dreams of your friends that you are interested in visiting.

If you want some form of theory to understand the direction of this challenge, here it is:

There are many people in our lives that we would love to share the concepts of lucid dreaming with. Some of those people we have tried to explain it to, and some reject the idea as ludicrous. For those that do, enter their dream in your selected form. Aid them in a situation and do not reveal yourself. Spend time talking to them and displaying your powers and explaining how to use powers and other concepts of lucid dreaming to this person while they are dreaming. A dream such as this has a chance of being remembered by this person. When you next speak to them, probe for a little information on their latest dreaming, and see how they describe the experience they had.

If they are even within range of the concrete details of said dream, what would happen if this entity continued to visit them? By virtue of dreams containing one entity who always visits you, with no repetition to the dream content, should they not begin to notice they are dreaming when you show up for a visit?

I will argue no beliefs with anyone. Believe you can, or believe you can't, either way, you're right. Try it yourself and keep the results within. I know mine.

2. Summon to yourself, an endless storage pouch or bag. All items that you seek to keep nearby that you discover in the dream realm you can toss into the bag and upon thinking of that item when reaching inside, that is what you pull out. Design for yourself a set of weapons with various features and abilities that you will use to defend yourself in all dreams.

Use of these weapons automatically by your dream self due to habitual usage over time by your lucid self, is yet another cue to dreaming, no? Or would this not happen? Find out. Combat in dreams is fun

3. Summon to yourself a creature companion. Design every aspect of it, and give it a living piece of your energy, set to replicate itself within this new creation. That will give it a consciousness. How to do this? You give it out of love. And it appears as only light. You may be surprised at the level of intelligence your new buddy will have. Most people who try this, end up with an entire stable of creature creations, all serving a specific purpose.

With your new bright red and black striped shadow tiger at a standing height of 11ft and estimated 1,200lbs tackling you each time you pop into the dream realm, you might notice you're dreaming pretty fast.

Take your time designing your new companion. Don't just say "tiger with red and black stripes" and give it life, there is much more that can be done than to settle for an earth-like appearance with just a substituted color. Determine the color of the eyes, if there is a glow, the appearance of the fur, is it dull, shiny, glistening with light within a range of orange to yellow? Can he/she heal or breathe fire? You should spend many anxious days and nights constructing it. Once you are done, however, and it is before your eyes as real seeming as real can get, and you see it look at you for the first time, prepare yourself for a collapsed dream. But you'll meet again, next dream, and every one after. They learn very fast, and I mean very fast. They like to spar, a lot.

4. Request from the dream a master teacher of (insert your subject of interest here). Express your intent to learn from him/her/it. Seek to learn at an accelerated pace, and to learn how to learn at an accelerated pace. This is key. Start with basic foundations of what you need to accomplish, and work your way into complexities, only much faster with a teacher aiding you, in a place where the rules are different. Wording is key to responses received.

Try it.

5. Learn to manipulate energy. Throw 1 fireball the size of a watermelon. Fire one blast of ice that shatters dummy dream figures. Fire lightning blasts and gusts of wind capable of sending dummy dream figures miles. Learn to absorb the energy around you to harness it for powered up attacks. Learn to dissipate the momentum of hostile energy as it races towards you. Learn to push entities away from you with energy alone. Fight as many enemies of as many kinds with as many numbers as possible, as much as possible. (10:1, 20:1, 50:1)

Fun in and of itself, but always leads to a greater desire for combat at improved levels. Watch your level of awareness improve in waking life in all situations. All because you had some fun dreaming, learning to fight, and then all of the sudden...you can.

6. Join 1 or 2 friends in a dream, summon to yourself a gauntlet battle master, capable of summoning sentient combatants in an arranged rules battle to incapacitation, battle after battle for 10, 20, 30 or more total rounds. (Battle masters are usually dragons) Adaptation in the battlefield is crucial, as is communication. A lot can be learned there, and many of the most fearsome looking beings are of very good sport. You can even do this alone, but with an ally is so much more fun.

Try it. Add spectators. (10,000 maybe 1,000,000 or higher) over time it will eliminate any fear of public speaking, performance or otherwise. It becomes a source of energy, cheers or boos. Some of the stipulations I like include:

A very large area and random placing of myself and companions (or team with theirs or without) and our opponent(s). Having to first stalk them before engaging is very exhilarating to say the least. It's also knowledge I can use in waking reality, only with modified rules, but rules which I still know.

Random terrain/plant life and weather conditions. Sometimes cities and towns, other times wastelands or jungles.

Strong opponents like dragons and gryphons.

7. Converse with the dream. Ask a question you sincerely want to know the answer to out loud, directing your question to the sky. The level of focus needed to be maintained here is great, do not let responses cause you to do too much pondering on them, or you might collapse the dream.

Try it. Ask the dream to show you something that will amaze you.

I will post 7 more challenges in a few more days. Again, I will argue beliefs on the possibility of any of these challenges with no one. If it is true for you, that is all that matters. If it is not, then so be it, continue on.

I will however, offer suggestions to perceived difficulties.

Create a challenge for yourself that sounds as outlandish as these, and you might be surprised what your results are.

A Tip: 30 minutes - 1 hour before your intended time to lucid dream, spend that time, directly planning what it is you want to spend your dream time doing. Treat it as if dreaming is just a continuation of what you are trying to accomplish overall, with simply different rules from waking reality. Come away with results thinking "objective completed", and document them, then use them.


Some will say:

"Show me scientific evidence of these challenges being possible, chief among them, visiting people in dreams as some form and having constant shared dreams that leads them to lucidity over time."

There is none. Though, if you find the results of your own experimentation to be true, then who cares? It is your success in discovering the truth or non-truth of the possibilities presented that matters, and it is your decision to make whether or not these things are true. I will not debate in an endless loop of neither side having proof of the other. I will provide nothing other than the information I believe would aid the endeavor by another who is seeking success in doing so themselves.

Persistence pays off. If the first method attempted seems to not be working, change it in ways you feel would be optimal to completing the goal. Imagination a must.
